Under Arch Lighting

[WTP07]

Posted: Wed Mar 10, 2010 7:20 pm Post subject: Under Arch Lighting I am looking to replace the two lights that hang down from the radar arch, into the cockpit area.

They are currently Guest plastic things, and look terrible, and both are cracked.

I looked the JTD, and the IMTRA site, can't really see anything in either spot that looks like it fits.

I don't really want to go with the "puck" style, I like the idea of being able to rotate and move them where I need them.

What have you all done?

Cheers,

Randy.

Here is the light, I think.

Website says they sell them at West Marine. Might look into them for my arch for the rear seating area.

This is what I went with:

in the brass finish. I know they are wall mount, but they rotate 360 degrees in 2 dimensions.

Will be installing them tomorrow.

12 LEDs, should be next to zero power consumption.

Will have to wait until splash day to see them at night though.

Randy, Where did you get them & how much $$.
They look nice !!. :smt001

Wayne,

I got them at a local marine place, but they manufacturer is Victory Lighting.

They were $69.99 each.

Those are interior lights, aren't they? They're not waterproof...

 

[WTP07]

Yep, and that's where they'll be. Inside the arch, under the canvas.

Thanks Randy. I'll try to find them on the net.

That's still exterior! They won't last long in an outdoor environment.

 

[WTP07]

Moose,

Would you care to phrase that statement in the form of a wager? :grin:

What's the over/under on how long these "interior" lights last under my radar arch in the "exterior" environment?

 

[StressAweigh]

18 months

In fresh water, they might last awhile.
In a saltwater environment, they'd be done after the very first dousing with salt spray.

I don't mount anything in the cockpit of my boat that can't take a direct shot from a washdown hose or a dousing of saltwater spray. I'm one of those guys that runs without the canvas- even if I'm taking spray over the windshield.

 

[WTP07]

Here they both are mounted.

Let the countdown begin as of today! :grin:

Cheers,

Randy.
