Florescent 12V Lights

[keyriffic]

Brad,

I have a 79FC33SB As mine are failing I am replaceing them with the
lights used in scanners and also computer cases.
Pros,
Easy to install I use glue
low power less than 1 amp
low cost 2 12" tubes with blast, wireing and tube protecters, 15$ at
Frys
good for 30K hours
for more light 2 sets can be installed in 1 housing
Cons
require warm up time 30 seconds to full brightness
light is a bright white

My next project is to install them at the top of the bin doors. this
will give me more light in the center of the coach, and I will drill
holes to allow the light into the bins as well.
