Lighting is important on a sailboat. In redcloud I has 6 custom Mahogany & Glass hid fixtures in the main galley. Along the deck in the galley I have large 15mm solid core Fiberoptic lighting that provides deck lighting for 8 ft in the galley and is routed thru the bulkhead to provide another 8 ft of illumination in the shower and head area, all driven off one 20W 12V HID light, soon to be replaced by a LUMILED superbright white LED light engine. The FiberOptic cable was given to me from Bridgestone to be installed as a Beta site(looks like neon but is flexable), it has been burning bright for almost 10 years now. It has a diacrylic filter wheel between the source and lightport where i can set it to any color of the spectrum, or I can have it changing colors all the time. LED in the pantry, running light , compass, anchor and galley undercabinet lighting. 4 120 watt stainless and glass fixtures from Kitchler Ltg in the forwad and aft cabin. 4 12 V HID lamps in the wheelhouse and one 12V high abuse water proof solid brass caged industrial fixture from Federal Signal in the engine room and anchor locker and lazzerette. On the outside of each side of the wheelhouse for docking lights I have a fish eyed lensed solid bronze fixtures surplus off an Amry M1-A1 tank. Also have a solid brass chrome plated 1938 GE 12 V Search light on the mizzen mast. Next time I pull the boat I may install underwater LED Floods on the Keel. Here in my office I have a 1940's Solid Brass Perko Forward steaming light I took off a tug I ran called the Cherokee Warrior, Had to cut the mast off the tug to be able to bring fuel to Southern Pacific Railroad in Houston. It makes a nice lamp. Have 2 MIB WW11 Coleman lanterns that will burn any fuel including Diesel, also have a AE lightweight 14W HID Power Light™. More than a powerful flashlight, the model PL14, 14W Power Light™ is better described as a personal searchlight. It produces 800+ lumens of true white light in a compact beam. Also have the big brother the 24W Power Light™ It is ideal for law enforcement, border patrol, search & rescue, maritime interdiction, and long-range target identification or recreational activities including camping, hunting, hiking, aviation, and as an emergency light everywhere.
