Thank you, Milton Oil lamps are indeed nautical , but they burn oil, produce soot, and lots of heat. LED lighting is coming of age now and many fixtures can now be purchaced for 12 volt DC systems or 110AC. http://www.ledsforboats.com/ Or if you're handy with a soldering gun, you can make customs systems pretty easy. Here is a good source to find LED's http://ledmuseum.home.att.net/ Joe |
