Lighting and USB Charging Upgrades

[Jeffrey Hare]

We recently upgraded the lighting and USB Charging in the VBerth cabin by replacing the stock forward lights with warm white LED fixtures.  We also added small gooseneck reading lights to make it easier to read in bed.  We also added a pair of low-profile USB-C/USB-A surface mounted charger units to each side for phones and USB powered fans.  All 4 new light fixtures also have a USB-A outlet in them as well, so lots more charge options now.

Nice. A couple of years ago I changed out all the ceiling led lamps with EmeryAllen 3W G4 lamps. It was a substantial improvement. I could read at the table without feeling like I needed to turn up the lights.

Hi Jeff,

 

Looks very nice.  Where did you get the USB ports and light from?

 

Thanks,

 

Allan
