LED lighting from IKEA

I don't know how many people follow the Panbo Marine Electronics site, but here was a topic of interest on using LED strip lighting from IKEA in the galley.

I did this on my boat and it's pretty cool.  The strip does multiple colors and makes for a cozy interior.  I need to put a filter on it though as when I turn my water on, the water pump fluctuates the current enough to make the light go through its various colors.  That aside, the light is pretty bright and I ran it over my chart table so I now have a light that I can make red in the cabin. 

Just cut the transformer off.  I removed the light above the shelf on the port settee and wired it to that.  I ran the switch down along side the wood that covers the holding tank pump out hose.
