Task Lighting
=== Task Lighting ===
In the galley, put fluorescent cold cathode fluorescents lighting under the cupboards, hidden behind a valence, to provide task lighting on a separate switch. Don’t use a dimmer here.
In the engine room, have a separate circuit for AC fluorescents for use with shore power. Provide outlets for both DC and AC trouble lights.
In the berths, galley and dinette use low-voltage white or blue LEDs as spot or reading lights. Their cooler temperature will make enclosed spaces more comfortable. For courtesy lighting in corridors and companionways, use blue LEDs.
 
=== Utility Lighting ===
For utility lighting such as external spotlights, use halogen. Dual-head emergency lights, with battery backup, are available in all light types. But on balance use the newer LEDs for emergency lights. Dual-head (dual lamp) provides redundancy.
