Lighting is important on a sailboat. In redcloud I has 6 custom
Mahogany & Glass hid fixtures in the main galley. Along the deck in the
galley I have large 15mm solid core Fiberoptic lighting that provides
deck lighting for 8 ft in the galley and is routed thru the bulkhead to
provide another 8 ft of illumination in the shower and head area, all
driven off one 20W 12V HID light, soon to be replaced by a LUMILED
superbright white LED light engine. The FiberOptic cable was given to
me from Bridgestone to be installed as a Beta site(looks like neon but
is flexable), it has been burning bright for almost 10 years now. It
has a diacrylic filter wheel between the source and lightport where i
can set it to any color of the spectrum, or I can have it changing
colors all the time. LED in the pantry, running light , compass, anchor
and galley undercabinet lighting. 4 120 watt stainless and glass
fixtures from Kitchler Ltg in the forwad and aft cabin. 4 12 V HID
lamps in the wheelhouse and one 12V high abuse water proof solid brass
caged industrial fixture from Federal Signal in the engine room and
anchor locker and lazzerette. On the outside of each side of the
wheelhouse for docking lights I have a fish eyed lensed solid bronze
fixtures surplus off an Amry M1-A1 tank. Also have a solid brass chrome
plated 1938 GE 12 V Search light on the mizzen mast. Next time I pull
the boat I may install underwater LED Floods on the Keel. Here in my
office I have a 1940's Solid Brass Perko Forward steaming light I took
off a tug I ran called the Cherokee Warrior, Had to cut the mast off
the tug to be able to bring fuel to Southern Pacific Railroad in
Houston. It makes a nice lamp. Have 2 MIB WW11 Coleman lanterns that
will burn any fuel including Diesel, also have a AE lightweight 14W HID
Power Light™. More than a powerful flashlight, the model PL14, 14W
Power Light™ is better described as a personal searchlight. It
produces 800+ lumens of true white light in a compact beam. Also have
the big brother the 24W Power Light™ It is ideal for law
enforcement, border patrol, search & rescue, maritime interdiction, and
long-range target identification or recreational activities including
camping, hunting, hiking, aviation, and as an emergency light
everywhere.
