John,

If you get away from products (and vendors) associated with "aviation" you
can save a few shekels. Spend a bit of time on Google looking at the many,
many 12v LED-based lighting options available. Include "interior,"
"automotive" and "accent" in your search and the plethora of hits is truly
mind boggling.

Here are a couple of the hits I got:

Gents:

The photo below is of my overhead panel in my IVP. The light in the middle
of the air-con vents is good for nothing more than burning out now and then.

I would like it to shine forward to illuminate parts of my instrument panel
at night.  It would have to aim forward.  Or come down and shine forward,
versus straight down.

Do you guys have anything you might recommend as a replacement?

Cheers,
