Joe,

        I own an '82 WESTY and I have installed a 12 volt OSRAM 11 Watt PL lamp
which I mounted on the original lamp fixture on top of the stove, this gave
an effective wattage of a 60 watt incandescent bulb, then a 12 volt
flourescent lamp mounted diretly on top of the rear bench for illuminating
the back portion of the van, wired in parallel to the PL Lamp. All in all
in consumes about 1.8 Amps,   down there, check out a West Marine catalog,
they have pretty neat 12 volt fixtures and appliances. Try www.
