No more worries about running the battery down while <DIV></DIV>>reading... <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>Found one at a marine supply place that would work: <DIV></DIV>>http://www.sea-dog.com/400193.pdf, but I'm not too crazy about the <DIV></DIV>>nautical look in the Westy. Has anyone seen any other 12v LED Dome <DIV></DIV>>Lights that would work? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>~Eric~ <DIV></DIV>>'89 Westy <DIV></DIV>>Vancouver, BC <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>-----Original Message----- <DIV></DIV>>From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf <DIV></DIV>>Of Chris Scherle <DIV></DIV>>Sent: April 8, 2002 10:10 PM <DIV></DIV>>To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM <DIV></DIV>>Subject: Re: anyone mounted a dome light above their hatch - to shine <DIV></DIV>>overthe bed/engine? <DIV></DIV>> <DIV></DIV>>I've been thinking of this same thing and unless someone can tell me why <DIV></DIV>>it <DIV></DIV>>wouldn't work I'm going to install the same fluorescent light that is <DIV></DIV>>over <DIV></DIV>>the table in my Multivan.
