Neon Lighting On Board - Have a Question
 

Thinking of installing some neon mood lighting on board........any
information regarding current draw or interference with electronics which
would say don't do it?

Could always go to LED's but I haven't found any that would give the same
glow as a neon......

Was there someting wrong with the opinions you read on

What do gangstas and pubescent rich kids install under their cars for that
purple glow? Maybe that's an option.

For simplification, I suggest you use a 12V portable black light and put the
following discs in the CD changer:

Iron Butterfly, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Jimi Hendrix, Are You Experienced?
Cream, Disraeli Gears
The Electric Prunes, I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)
Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow
Pink Floyd, A Saucerful of Secrets
The Beatles, Magical Mystery Tour

Posters and incense are optional, but add to the effect.

What about a strobe light and a bright white shirt in case he wants to
dance along to the music.
His marina neighbours might like it.

That requires different music choices:
Soundtrack from Saturday Night Fever
Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive"
Donna Summer "Love to Love Ya, Baby"
Santa Esmeralda "Please Don't Let me Be Misunderstood"
Bony M "Rasputan" (or anything by Bony M, really)
or any of that music from the mid-seventies tha I have tried to expunge
from my brain
