Default Kiss those fluorescent's goodbye
Well about 2 seasons ago I replaced all the thin fluorescent light fixtures in the cabin only to have them start to flicker off and on with a few being totally out again.

So I hunted around for some LED fixtures since they consume very little battery power and last almost forever to find these.

They come in 12 or 24 inches with the 12" having an 18 LED count and a frosted lense.

Tried one out with a 12volt power supply and they are almost as bright as the fluoresent ones.

Sweet Marc! I was going to rewire/replace mine this winter anyway!

Only thing...I don't know if that bulb life is quite long enough!
