I’m reminded of my post last summer.... I painted the bottom of my hood white for two reasons: 1) mounted two 60W (equivalent) 120v LED bulbs on it (powered from 120v traction battery). With the hood up, I can see everywhere without shadows for troubleshooting... 2) Also mounted a set of nine 600W theater lights (total 5600W load) with a bypass switch from the motor controller for testing and woo-wooing the neighborhood.... Actually, the dimmable LED's have an A/B switch for either connection to the battery (troubleshooting at night) or motor. Even with the hood closed. The woo-woo illumination leakage from under the hood of the LED's connected to the motor should leave no doubt that its an EV under the hood. Or I can open the hood and flip the other switch to the 5000W theatre lights and woo-woo the entire area. What's the use having an EV unless you can make sure everyone sees it is electric... But alas, this is a retirement project and it is not road ready yet... still waiting for a 1.21 jiggawatt flux capacitor.. Actually, the photos on the web show some nice designs.... just three LED dome lights and some pizzaz should look nice...
