Saw some interesting stuff at a chandlery last couple weekends: - 12V CFL fixtures with the tiny straw-sized tubes, like those used in LCD displays: Straight, snaked, or embedded in transparent mini-fluorescent tubes of standard form factor. - LED arrays and fixtures for area lighting, spot lighting (some with white/red selectability for keeping night adaptation while at the navigation station), as navigation signaling and marker lights, etc. (Appropriate, since chandleries started out as suppliers of marine lighting consumables - candles and lamp oil - before they evolved into convenience/general stores for sailboats and small powerboats.)
I've seen LED marker lights for trucks and trailers for some time now. I bet a good truck stop, RV store, or auto-customization supply will have similar 12V living-space lighting fixtures by now.[ Parent ]
