They use 1/10th the power of comparable incandescent lights, <DIV></DIV>>the bulbs (LEDS) last forever, and they are totally shock resistant. <DIV></DIV>>Anyway, I've also been thinking about installing a dome light above the <DIV></DIV>>lower bunk in my Westy and thought that an LED unit would be perfect for <DIV></DIV>>the job. No more worries about running the battery down while <DIV></DIV>>reading... <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Found one at a marine supply place that would work: <DIV></DIV>>http://www.sea-dog.com/400193.pdf, but I'm not too crazy about the <DIV></DIV>>nautical look in the Westy. Has anyone seen any other 12v LED Dome <DIV></DIV>>Lights that would work? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>~Eric~ <DIV></DIV>>'89 Westy <DIV></DIV>>Vancouver, BC <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>-----Original Message----- <DIV></DIV>>From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf <DIV></DIV>>Of Chris Scherle <DIV></DIV>>Sent: April 8, 2002 10:10 PM <DIV></DIV>>To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>>Subject: Re: anyone mounted a dome light above their hatch - to shine <DIV></DIV>>overthe bed/engine? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I've been thinking of this same thing and unless someone can tell me why <DIV></DIV>>it <DIV></DIV>>wouldn't work I'm going to install the same fluorescent light that is <DIV></DIV>>over <DIV></DIV>>the table in my Multivan. I think it will fit nicely over the sliding <DIV></DIV>>door <DIV></DIV>>and mounted to the underside of the A/C housing above the rear hatch. I <DIV></DIV>>know <DIV></DIV>>its not the cheapest way to go, but I like to keep things as VW as <DIV></DIV>>possible. <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>All responses are appreciated, <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Chris Scherle <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Solvang, CA <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>'90 Multivan <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>_________________________________________________________ <DIV></DIV>>Do You Yahoo!? <DIV></DIV>>Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM205401/i'>http://explorer.msn.com</a>.<br></html> |
