[C320-list] Cockpit lights

[Aaron Laskowski]

I just picked up a C320 a few days ago, and while not a permanent mounted solution, I transitioned a few of these over from my camping gear to the boat and they work great in the cockpit, the head, and anywhere else you need a little extra light. They are portable, collapsible, and hangable. Perfect ad-hoc solution for me:

Subject: [C320-list] Cockpit lights

I am searching for places and types of LEDs for the cockpit (Probably blue to reduce/minimize bugs).  Mainly while anchored for greater visibility.  Has anyone installed any?  If so, where?
I temporarily use cheap solar lamps but I end up buying new ones every year. Also, the cheap solar ones rarely last all night.   I would like to be able to simply turn on lights and "maybe" even incorporate light sensor for dawn/dusk operation if ashore after sundown.
Thoughts out there?




Thanks,
