A few more 'light' jobs

With the step light fitting of last weekend being such a success we took another trip up to that great Swedish furniture outlet for a few more sets of lights - some for practical use and some purely for looks.

First off we fitted a set in the storage area under the rear section of the bed; four light units spread evenly around the 'roof' of the cubby-hole, and one just inside the doorway.


No more scrabbling around in the dark looking for that missing bottle opener! There's a switch inside, tucked up out of harm's way as most of our camping gear gets crammed in here.

Then it was on to the under-seat lighting - something I've been wanting to do since the rear seat went in. A simple 'downlight' effect to highlight the colour of the interior wood and contrast with the floor and shiny accents of the stereo. And sometimes it's nice just to have a bit of mood-lighting instead of just having the main lights blaring away. These are switched in the same way as the step light and in the same 'out of the way' location.



Hopefully I'm not veering towards bad-taste (I've opted against colour-changing and strobing lights) and I'm really looking forward to a few nights' chilling-out - after all the wiring head-scratching I think I've earned it!
