<P>Very low draw. Looks descent . I'm running it off an Aux. batt. But I imagine even on a main batt. you would get a few hours</P>

<DIV></DIV>>I was in a camping store yesterday looking at some LED flashlights and
<DIV></DIV>>headlamps. 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>>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,
