Yes they are LED. They are two aviation post lights. They come on anytime any of the outside running or anchor lights are turned on.Sumner wrote:grady wrote:I like the ....
... two small panel lights you have there. Are they LED and do you have a link to them along with a link to the switches you used? Nice work,

Very nice. What kind of switches are those?grady wrote:I would avoid using electrical tape and use heat shrink. It will last a lot longer. I could not find an electrical panel I liked so I made one.

No I was helping a friend with a avionics install on a K35 Bonanza. I have aquired an experimintal I use to fly a lot but it has been neglected and left outside for 10 years. Not sure if it is worth fixing up yet. Even though it is the most fun to fly.

Hey, get it back flying!! There's always a "gaggle" of Breezys at Airventure (Oshkosh) every year. Otherwise, I'm sure someone out there will love to buy it and restore it.grady wrote:No I was helping a friend with a avionics install on a K35 Bonanza.

Re: Pictures of breaker panel wiring
Well I finally had a moment to post a pic of what I was working on when I asked the question...
Not beautiful, but fits up in the space above the galley. The incoming load wires will go to the terminal strips so at least everything is together.
Hid the terminal strip mounting screws behind the empty side of the black switch cover plates, so they're a little tight to the back of the panels, but that way they're hidden from the front...

Looks good. Keep the spagetti wireing out of your boat. Everybody like to cuttle up next to a fire I just dont recomend the fire to be your boat!

They want me to go with a BANG, not a boring church service. Kind of disturbing though that they are planning already.
