| Subject: | Recommendations for Map Lights and Dome Lights |
Folks,
Shopping for map lights and dome lights on the interwebs is *hard*. How do
you select something when all you can see is a small picture? Ugh. Do you
have any personal recommendations?
Map lights should have switches at the base.
Dome light should not have a switch (because I will install a remote switch
near the door).
Thanks,
-- Art Z.

For map lighting, I went with one of these.

Black with 4 white LED's.
For cabin lighting, I used Perko lights. They are the lights that many Velocity
builders use (available at West Marine and other marine supply stores).

But since I have a 28v electrical system, I made some changes. I removed the incandescent
light and installed a set of blue and white LED's. Then I put in
SPDT switches to select between Off, white and blue lights.

Art,
Check Aircraft Spruce. Search for LED Lighting and look under
Cockpit/Cabin Lighting. There=99s a lot of different styles from
which to choose.
