Reading lights

[John23883]

We got tired of book-lights and headlights, so we added these reading lights in our H26.

Nice. I installed 4 of them myself when I replaced all my original fixtures to LED

Very nice indeed! I can see how they would be useful for just messing around under the cockpit. (You can define messing around anyway you wish.)

Or for that very special time in the v-berth.......some blue LED lights that I installed on my C22. It's the self stick led tape

Bought the pair at DollarLED in Elkhart Indiana on ebay for $29.99
Same light, different look: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-LED12V-Fr...681662?hash=item3d21d60ebe:g:2O4AAOSwQItUKfg4
They have all kinds of lights at good prices.

Those look great! I like the location you installed them. I have one installed on the aft bulkhead. It's amazing how much light the LED's put out. Seams like a really good price for the one's you bought too!

Yeah, it was time consuming, but the 12v panel is right there, so the wire was easy to hide and get to the panel although I had to use a snake from the panel to the bottom of the part the lights are attached to. I thought of soldering but I put quick connects on all the wires in case I ever have to replace them. I just added the new wire to the light switch on the panel. They do seem to be good quality.
