Custom wood coffee/dining/card table. Believe it may be stained oak plywood? Obviously not a cheap piece to build $150 dimensions as coffee table 46"x22" and 20" tall dimensions raised with top on 65" across 43" deep and 30.5" tall *note - it is missing one of the 4 wood pegs used to...

Peter B & FlyWright.....did you buy the cheapie ebay type bulbs or the more expensive versions here? How about the fixtures? The more expensive ones usually say they are 9-30 volt capable, since they already have the CCCV buck adapter to control the voltage and current. ALso how much time do...

Yes, Thelin's Little Gnome is their smallest. I think its rated at 25,000 or 28,000 BTU. But the footprint is 18 x 18 inches, and the Parlour 3000 is 40,000 BTU and only 20 x 20 inches, so that's the one I went with. Love the look of their stoves, but as I said their customer service leaves...

Hmmm....so I wonder whether the cool white is even necessary for engine rooms, or whether to use warm light and plenty of it there too? Apparently theres a middle of the road type as well, and I found it while searching the 5630's. They call it Natur White or Natural White. It seems to be in...

Forgot to mention, the pellet stove on low uses about 20 bags of pellets a month = $100 Does require a bit more upkeep than electric heaters though.

OFB - I'd still take the warm weather if I had a choice. But I don't, so the pellet stove has turned out to be a good heat source on my boat.

skidgear - how did you find the 5050's for brightness? Did you use warm white (3000-3500k), natural white (4000-5500k), or cool white (6000 + k)? psneeld - how about you same question? I have been thinking of ordering the 5630. Its supposedly 1.5 times the brightness of the 5050, but...

Here is a picture of my Thelin Parlour 3000 pellet stove on board :)

Ahhh....but I think you are missing the point as well :) There are many people who might want to upgrade galley/kitchens because a range has failed, or is on its last leg. Or perhaps because they are doing the whole galley. My neighbor just did hers. But you see, she has a favorite pasta...

Northern - price also depends on type of bulb. Many with higher lumen output seem more expensive than the $11 mark. Not sure how many bulbs you have on your boat, but even at $11 the cost might still be high. As for the idea of creating your own with buck converters...someone mentioned you...

Mike - the LED fixtures and replacement bulbs you installed...were they the expensive variety or ebay/Chinese cheapies? Did you bother installing the buck converters, or did you just plug it into your 12v system as is? skidgear - that's why I like the forums. To hear what others opinions...

Stumble around in the dark. LOL How many watts are the bulbs and are they 2 per fixture?

Makes you wonder why they decided in those areas to add 120v lighting. Because it was brighter? Given the choices today and building it this moment would they just have done all 12v LEDs? My guess is that's probably what they all do now.

BTW, I have heard of some folks using a steel plate on their induction burners to enable them to use their aluminum pots and pans, and noticed that some induction burners for sale on ebay come with one. My neighbor has induction burners and she asked me to have a plate made for her. We are...

Some people might say the same about a generator cluttering up the engine room, or having lights in general. Hell, if the sun sets shouldn't you go to sleep? :D lol Ron - yes and no. If its only the simple bulbs, yes. But what about where you go to the trouble of wiring in strip LED...

See, Rick has kind of hit the nail on the head. Other forums I belong to, the guys and occasional gal will jump in and give ideas, thoughts, real world experience, alternative ideas...and it is a discussion, often with a good laugh here and there. There often IS more than one way to skin a...

Kevin, I did listen. At this point, I wouldn't be afraid to install and run them on the 12v system in general. You mentioned a perfectly good 12v system, but I'm not 100% sure about mine yet. A few things have made me think I shouldn't. 1) I AM living aboard, so the lights will get used a...

The units I have are 400W, but yes I understand what you mean. Of course, I could disconnect the 12v wires going to the breaker marked "salon lights" and put that to one molex set of leads, and then the next breaker to another and so on... Every 5 amps at 12v is 60W

Thanks Oliver. If I jump several together for greater amperage and I blow the power unit I guess I will have learned a lesson. lol I cant imagine I will be using installing or using more than 250W worth of LEDs, so we'll see what happens.

No problem Oliver, the idea of a computer power supply occurred to me the other day as I was looking at the LEDs online and had this box sitting next to me with 3 of the computer PS units sitting in it. I figured it had to be a pretty consistent power source as you mentioned. Mine are the...

Oliver.....because I wanted to know if an inexpensive ac to dc power source would work. Says so in my first post. The written article by Jeff Field from Marine Beam that was suggested by a member here indicates the answer is YES, and I quoted that here. But nobody with electrical knowledge has...

Not me Kevin, I'm all for trying the ebay cheapies. That was the purpose of the thread.
