Greetings everyone,
I am about to embark on the electrical portion of my build and thought it would be appropriate to post a journal of the process. It might help others, and I can have a place to ask a load of questions. If this is not an appropriate move on my part I will gladly return to my other journal.
I'm going with LEDs to reduce overall battery consumption, and they are more sexy. I might even be able to run the whole thing from a handful of 'd' cells.
Going to use the basic 'Joanne' circuit.
Couple of questions to start- 'porch' lights. Switch in the cabin, or switched light? And... Why not just use a small courtesy light or even a license plate light? Or even an amber clearance light?
I guess it could be the same for overhead lights? I thought about some basic switched lights- one overhead, and one galley. I suppose these could be any small fixture, right? The galley might need more light though.
Interior dome could be fairly dim (insert occupant joke here) though I would like a reading light near my head, one each side. Any thoughts on sourcing this stuff?
But wait there's more, power, like cig lighter type. Seems I should have that, not sure why, but it 'should' be there maybe two at the galley? Most if what I anticipate needing is USB charge for phone and iPad.
I'm sure there will be more, if you care to see the build, you may follow my link below.
