Cabin lighting

Looking for replacement cabin lighting on my '73 32'. 12 volt need a square under cabinet light and a bigger one over the sette. Any suggestions on used/affordable? 50 bucks doesn't seem logical on the standard search?

Replacement lights.

Colin, Do consider contacting consignment chandlers across the country, the list being a part of the Good Old Boat Magazine web site here? http://www.goodoldboat.com/resources_for_sailors/consignment_stores.php I've had incredible luck over the years searching for some pretty obscure items for our boat including a cabin light, a pair of period correct bronze 2-speed, self tailing Barlow primary winches, a period correct Ideal windlass and literally scores of other quality items now a part of our boat. DOn't sell the idea short, all it takes is sitting down with the list. The beauty of doing that today is that the seller can send you an image of what they have for you. Best of luck and a Happy Holiday to you and everyone on the Ericson List, Glyn Judson, E31 hull #55, Marina del Rey CA

Here's a site for campers & RV's that has the square ones. Not sure of the quality, looks like all plastic but the price is better by a long shot. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--> http://www.easternmarine.com/interior-ceiling-light-wslide-switch-v375s

Can't remember what we paid back then or if this company is even still in business. At the time it sure wasn't $50! (WOW!!) - Sorry I can't help more.
