Interior Lightning

The lightning concept of the Hanse 470 is well balanced and the spotlights look very modern. The only week point is the galley and my "cook" always complained about that. Two more spots changed the situation dramatically.  You can cook now on the bright side and I have no more excuses to leave it to the expert. (One mans blessing is another mans curse)

Top idea and where did you get the extra down lights from? The factory, dealer or another supplier? Also did you run them off the current lights? was it simply a matter of splitting the feed?

The lights are original from Hanse and my dealer respectively an electrician mounted them and I suppose he connected them with the other two.

Tobo,

I also like your wall organizer. Never seen one like this in the States. Looks like it was made for that wall. I'm going to look at my 370 this weekend and see if I have the same wall space as your 470. Thanks for the picture and idea.

Hella Marine do Nav lights in Approved marine LED.  I replaced just the bulbs of my Nav lights and the power consumption went from 6 amps down to 0.6 amps so I am going thru with replacing more.  The Cold LED interior bulbs I agree are not good in the galley but you can get warm white which I now have on order.  I have an aversion torunning the engine for 2-3 hours per day for battery recharge so am going right through the boat on a power reduction exercise.
