[Wing] Panel Lighting

[Norman]

I want to light my panel from the lip of my glairsheild which is five inches
from the panel. It is an RV6 glairsheild that is untrimmed. I bough a few
strip lights from JC Whitney http://www.jcwhitney.com/ bendable strip lights
in white 20BB0457Y. $12 USD for 5'. When I tested them out in my darkened
shop they weren't bright enough but I liked the format. I also didn't like
the quality of wire that they are put together with. So I desoldered them
and painstakingly soldered the bulbs onto some of my wire and made the bulbs
as close together as I could. I shoved them back in the nifty white plastic
strip and tested them out. They appear great, I'm almost positive they will
do the job. They claim 40,000 hour bulb life.

Recently I've been turned onto LED's from Ledtronics
http://www.ledtronics.com/ . They make a strip light with low profile bulbs
that are 1/2 inch apart PLT-210-OCW but the price is a whopping $96 a foot.
I need around four feet so they're out.

So now I notice that JC Whitney has Wolo LED light bars for dressing up a
vehicle's exterior. $15 USD for 14 inches with 50 LEDs part number
15BB7505U. I wonder what color the bulbs are as the catalog only indicates
the color of the lens in the casing. These might work well when stripped
apart if the bulbs are white. Anyone care to try some thing new?
