Yes, in Das Boot they used to signal silent running and/or repair status. Probably intended to be a low consumption light, but actually totally devoid from reality -where blue light was never used AFAIK-. I have heard that in the Das Boot DVD, the director admitted that it was used for dramatization purposes, as the crew looked even paler and frightened with it.
Here's the one when they sleep, (before any enemy contact). (This Screen is after the Scene: Morgen Herr Obermachinist! - Morgen ist gut... 5 vor 12(voll)


[Edit]: I think they using Blue lights 'cause they are a bit darker than the red one, red is only switched on in the Centrale. Blue lamps are also used in Silent running and repair Status.

A very cool looking mod, anyway, which I would also love to use. Pity we can't rig for red in the dark and for blue in silent running
yes it disturbed me too.
