Two issues with those. One minor: flipping a switch twice every time I want a white light would quickly get old (Yeah, I know… picky, picky!) But the real problem is that they only give off 80 lumens of white light. That’s just not enough for these old eyes to read with, and it leaves the cabin very dark and dingy to my eyes. Others might be fine with it... The Alpenglow lamps put out 600 lumens. That’s what I am used to in a boat cabin. It’s not an arc light, it only the equivalent of a roughly a 50 watt incandescent bulb. 80 Lumens is roughly equal to a 10 watt light bulb, and that just isn’t sufficient for me to engage in real 24 hour activity. Again, others might feel differently. Bill Kinney Harmonie, SM#160 Port Canaveral, Florida
