[C320-list] LED cabin lights

[clburti at gmail.com]

The fixtures in #867 have a reflector of sorts built in as there a  parabolic back with an aluminized surface. They are off white and can be adjusted by rotating the ball and socket bull’s eye  ‘shade’ to direct the light beam pretty much 360 deg. 


Commitment came with the standard little 10W two pin G4 bulbs installed, not MR16’s, in all 10 fixtures in the main and aft cabins and the two in the v-berth have red and white festoons.

Chris: Are you using these in the standard "eyeball" fixtures? I would 
think you would want something with a reflector design similar to the 
MR16 halogen bulbs that came standard on my 1999 boat.

They are warm white and as near as I can tell without a light meter, have the equivalent light output as the halogen bulb. At $29 total and free shipping for 10, I am well pleased so far.
