New lights


 
This is a little change that I’ve wanted to do for years now. The lights in the kitchen are under the counter and were bought from an RV store.
They work great and give off a lot of light but, being incandescent bulbs they are energy hogs.
It requires 4 amps to run these lights (that's a lot of energy on a boat).

At the consignment store I found LED lights that were a great price.
I replaced the main bulb with a warm colored light.
I also added two strips of whit light LED’s also. Now, we have almost the same amount of light but using only .4 amps! A 90% reduction. LED’s are on my list of upgrades to the Snow Goose this year.
