Re: [VACList] Interior Lighting Fixtures
Gary, it isn't very hard to re-wire 110v fixtures for 12 volts. When I
"decomissioned" my worn out original reading lamps, I took the guts out
and placed them in some new inexpensive but rugged and attractive 110
volt fixtures from Menards, and they work just great. Another option I
have used is buying 12 volt lights that use a transformer to step down
from 110 volt; remove the transformer and wire the lamps directly to one
of the coach 12vdc circuits. (Found them really cheap in the close out
cart at Menards.)I installed these lights over the galley sink; and
while I was at it, ran the 12vdc through a new switch located near the
door, so that is now the first light I turn on when entering the dark
coach at night. Just another possibility to consider! Good luck!
