Title: 12v Light fixtures
Post by: bbeane on September 21, 2013, 09:45:30 pm
It's about time to start interior renovations let fun begain, does anyone have a good source for brushed nickel 12V light fixtures and puck light trims, the gold has got to go. Of course this also means the shower enclosure and all the plumbing fixtures, and cabinet hardware as well.

I believe most RVs use Gustafson Lighting for fixtures

Gustafson Lighting is a manufacturer and distributor of lighting and lighting (http://gustafsonlighting.com/)

That's who FT uses for our OEM swingarm sconces and the fixed sconces we replaced them with.

Be aware that Gustafson sells different lines of lighting hardware. I bought some Gustafson fixtures at CW and they were NOT suitable to go with the existing fixtures in our FT. I took the fixtures back immediately. The pictures looked good, but the metal was much lighter grade than what is in our 1997 FT.

You might try these guys. I installed 12 of their puck lights and so far so good.

I am probably in the minority here but I love the cherry wood with the polished brass.  :)

Count me in that Cherry/polished brass camp.

Maybe it was all those years in two sailboats (one mahogany interior and one teak) with real brass oil lamps and bronze portlights... but I'm in the brass and dark wood camp, too.
