Subject:LED lights revisited.
From:Ron Bloomquist

It was pointed out to me that the LED lights I was talking about no longer
appear on the www.realgoods.com page.  Looking around I found them at a
different website and their price is a bit cheaper for the same lights.

http://www.theledlight.com

From their front page go to LED Fixtures to see the ones I got.  Or click
on:

http://www.theledlight.com/led-fixtures.html

to go their directly.

The fixtures I bought are the Goose neck 3 LED cabin light for my passenger
seat reading light and two Comet 3 LED fixtures for over the stove and sink.
I had to file down the mounting flange some to get the Comets to fit between
the curtain track and the outer edge of the "tray" over the galley.

I don't know if everyone would really be happy with them.  They are
basically bullet proof, use very little energy but they produce a very white
light.  Almost fluorescent like and do not have as "warm" a feeling as a
regular incandescent light.  The light they produce is more like a full moon
on a snow field in winter.  Rather strange in a way.  And they are very
directional and do not light up the whole area; only what they are aimed at.
But, I figure a few candles can always enhance the ambiance!!  (Ambiance is
very important out here in Californie ;-)

If you want me to e-mail you an image of the Comet LED's over the galley in
my Vanagon - let me know and I will.
