I've started installing the cold cathode style neons in side the cabin.
The white is "warmer" than the white LED lamps I've seen, and they use
even less power. You can pick up a dual 12" set for about $14 including
the driver. They require a High voltage AC source. But it's very low
power, and solid state. I use them for area lighting, and the LEDs for
directional/spots. Great combination.
