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. -- https://CheerfulCurmudgeon.com/ *"If I am not for myself, who is for me?

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). http://www.perko.com/catalog/lighting_fixtures/708/incandescent_light_with_snap_on_front_cover/ 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.
