an looking at the hanger back in this pic you can see the four more floodlights just above the water tight door that will have to be fitted an they have more wires than shown on the plans

[boatman]

an here they are all fitted an the wires are all lives an one negative as again like the top big brass bar these small four are all wired negative through the brass box section so only one neg wire rest are lives an they now have little bit of tishue rolled up in the tubes so that the spray paint wont go onto the leds

[boatman]

an a overall shot of the floodlight how they will be when i can fit them but the hanger needs to be sprayed grey an the top deck will be green 4bo lol an the the lights mountings will be grey

So neat Chris, good idea using the brass as the negative. Most impressive.

AN hello Steven this lighting is only the start of the lighting which wil go on her as im hopeing to flood light her like i did on my norfolk but as she is bigger then more flood lights will be applied an hopefully both bridges will be lit up with white an red battle lights an if she goes into harms way then at the flick of a switch it will black out the whole ship but this is all still to come as ive got over 100 white ultrabright leds to fit in the ships key locations

HI G/M John cheers for your nice comments an yes i always use 2mm brass box section when fitting a lot of leds for flightdeck lighting cuts down on how many wires i need to fit as there is goin to be a lot
an hope you have a nice day we have just been out for a good walk in the very brisk air an boy was i glad to get back indoors it certainly got the ole blood flowing
