English term or phrase: Blackout Light
I'm translating some material on military vehicles and came across this term. I understand what it is, just not how to translate it.

Here's a link to the wiki page that describes blackout lights and what they do.

Explanation:
that's what I found by googling various possible translations, until I tried with "luz blackout", and came up with a few hits, for ad sites offering collectors spare parts, etc. Might point you towards the real term, perhaps.
