I agree that the 'soft' white (more like dingy) color of the 12volt Florescent Light is, well, not appealing for many. I find the Florescent ok for over-all illumination of the cabin area while cooking and lounging. For reading and detail work, the Halogens fit the bill... so to speak. The Halogens I installed have a rotating head so are quite adjustable where as the Florescent is a fixed strip. The second year following my install the Florescent light blew it's starting circuit so did not work. Two weeks of camping without it, I missed the overall glow of its 13 watt light! Upon replacing it..... holy...... let there be light! |
