Charlie, 

Just bought six Imtra Sydney interior reading lamps. I installed the two in the 
v-berth a couple of weeks past and they work well. Years ago (pre-LED) I bought 
some cheap, brass-plated halogens. Not worth the shipping costs. Cheap, hard to 
mount and didn’t last very long. Did I mention cheap?

The lamps only come in white so they will not fit your bill for red/white. This 
wasn’t a concern for me as I have dedicated red LED courtesy lights one a 
single circuit, scattered throughout the interior. For the lights in the 
overhead (ceiling) lights I will use a good quality flush-mount puck LED light.

I was able to buy the lights during Defender Industries last sale so saved 20% 
per lamp. That said, looking around the Intertubz one can find the lower 
pricing on those units. 

Best,

  I need to replace all the cabin lights/fixtures on my 36XL/kcb and am 
thinking of a white/red combo LED for all 0r some of them. 

  I mostly race her so the lights don't get used very often. I want to get 
something that is relatively inexpensive, will not
  rust/tarnish (forget about the traditional brass stuff) and most importantly 
will work reliably after long periods of no use.
  They probably will be powered by the house 12V--I tried battery operated (in 
the housing) and these were a total waste of money
  since the batteries corroded faster than they lost their charge!

  I am talking about forward and aft cabin lights (~ 6 total) which mount to 
the ceiling with built in switches for on-off and white/red. 
  The housings on these will be exposed--visible so that 'ribbon' type LEDs are 
out.

  In the main cabin, I need 4 that will be mounted under the 'shelves' and thus 
the housings are not important. I also need 2 that
  would be mounted in the forward cabin corners for reading and 2 in the 
'ceiling', all of which would be exposed so the housing is important. 

  I thought I might go with one source for consistency and maybe save some 
money. 

  I am looking for suggestions from the list before I decide.

  Thanks in advance,
