stay with red. it has a smaller impact on night vision and runs cooler.
going with green may affect night vision and since it runs hotter, introduces the need for heat sinking. If you drop it or pistol whip someone, it could break the green diode, because they are delicate.

Your choice. Do you want simple or complicated?

👉 Maybe the OP is time traveler visiting the future from time to time and received the above answers 7 years ago when visiting, and we are just creating the posts of the time he went to/visited, so all is fine, well, and good /the way it should be--or something like that? 👈

Heheh that could be. Welcome to the future. A lot has changed in 7 years, namely diodes which would have worked just fine for a replacement.
 
Today's thermal sights make a troop in a ghillie suit stand out like a sore thumb, even in heavy fog/smoke a totally passive thermal gives em away, I just wish the prices would come on down.

Actually the Chinese stuff is getting cheaper and better,I haven't owned one of these yet but they look pretty good.

White hot displays sources of heat as white silhouettes over a predominantly black background, while black hot shows sources of heat as black silhouettes over a predominantly white background. Red hot displays heat signatures as red: the higher the temperature, the redder the image.

The first time I was ever introduced to "Night-Vision" - back the in the 1980s it was totally classified technology and unavailable to the public. The thing I used was about TWO Kilo monocular like a big telescope that strapped on to your dominant eye. We referred to this amazing gadget as a "Star Light"

Reason for use - don't burst out laughing, everyone - was to spot or track nocturnal insect pests destroying fruit crops. Nothing military.....I was doing some survey work for Dep't Agriculture. When finished my night's work I'd have to sign it back to the spook who was in charge of custody.

How things have changed. But - yeh - very impressed. You could see ants on the ground and you could count the number of moths flying round laying eggs on fruit
