Lighting
- Boat Type: Boat Type
I had seen a cool light on the Internet on a 26X from England but could not find anything like it here in the States. I figured if I did they would be lights made specifically for yachts and be expensive. Then I stumbled onto them in Lowes. The lights I used for the interior were Lowe's proprietary brand of lighting "Portfolio" found in the landscape lighting department. These are already 12 volt and work without modification. They were under $10. Amazing! I replaced the bulbs to one wattage size up to make them brighter. The exterior light was the same brand found in the department with outdoor lights. This one is larger so looked better outside but had to be converted to 12 volts. Also very inexpensive. I cut the base to make it thinner and added a on/off switch. They are waterproof and look very "nautical".

Light in the headroomLighting - - December 1, 2019I placed it over the hole closed by the plate hiding the winch bolts. The main problem here was to route the wiring to the panel. Just now there is no separat switch besides that at the light itself. Published by: MS Classifieds
