[C320-list] Cabin Lighting

I was checking all that the cabin lights were operational (boat is new to me). I noted in the
V-Berth a reading light on the Stbd. side, nothing on the Port side (?). did I miss something?
Is there wiring on the Port side in the V-berth for a light or does it have to be extended
from the main cabin light on the other-side of the bulkhead??
Thx.

Unfortunately, I'm on a trip and don't have access to my receipt for the
fixture. I think I got it from Catalina. It is an almost exact duplicate of
the originals except the on-off switch is slightly different. I think it cost
around $45.
Good luck
Bill

Hi Bruce
What is the model number of the replacement LED, and did you get it online. I
bought a LED bulb at the boat show and it was $12.
Thanks
