Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Interior low level lighting

[John Gaertner <jgaertner1@earthlink.net>]

Ray,

I am planning on using LED lighting throughout my sub's interior. You can purchase ones that are very powerful but only draw very little current. And because LED's are tough as nails there is little or no chance of them getting damaged or burning out from vibration, getting wet or such. 

There are super bright LED's now that produce 16K candle power, run on only 3.4 V and draw about 200 mA a piece. I've already built a separate little regulated power supply to run them for my project. 

Also, I am planning to have all of my switches and gauges LED lit to insure that I can see them in total darkness. 

John

Hi Bill,

The bit about "phosphorescent coat" got me thinking. 

Critical knobs and switches in our PSUB'S could
benifit from such a coating. I found out during my
submersible pilot training it can get unexpectedly
dark. Surprising how dark it gets driving into muck
stirred off the bottom. Even at only 15 feet down!

Regards,
Ray
