    I replaced all my cabin lights with Sensibulbs, sold by
    www.sailorsolutions.com. Pricy, but they are WARMER then the incandescents
    they replaced, and actually brighter!

    I have tried several other led solutions and they were to dim and cold for
    my liking.

    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.
