I've got 3 rotary potentiometers wired into the GAD27 to control cabin lights. The plan is for one of them to control baggage compartment lighting and the other two to control a white light strip and a blue light strip under the glare shield.

I had previously run the output for one of these pots from the gad 27 via aux connector 2 pins 3 & 6 aft with the wire run for the flap motor and position indicator.
Since I'm cleaning up and securing that area, this was teh next logical thing to take today.

The light strip that I got from I think Steinair for this application is 3' long, but can be cut every 4" or so. there are helpful cut lines marked right on the face of the strip and you can literally cut it with scissors.

I ended up cutting about 4" or so off of the end to make it fit where I wanted. I'm not sure if it's possible for the cut end to short out, but I covered it with heat shrink to make sure.

Positioned the wiring with stick on 3m mounts. I didn't use and additional adhesive on them, since they really aren't that critical. If they ever do let go, I'll glue them back up with E6000, or something.

The light strip has a peel and stick backing which appears to just be 3m VRB tape. It wasn't very confidence inspiring in it's level of stickiness, so I decided to help it along. I used several strips of heavy duty duct tape to make sure it didn't go anywhere immediately. That's the yellow stuff you can see in a couple of the pictures below. Specifically, I got it as a promotion from the company that makes soft tops for jeep wranglers. It's a heavy duty repair tape, but I just used it because it' what I had on hand.

After that, I applied a good dollop of E6000 about every 6 inches or so. Don't really see how it's likely to go anywhere once that stuff dries.

This is supposed to be a white light, but it's actually got a little blue hue to it. I like it.

I tucked it up under the cabin crossbar, which is unpainted on the under side. you can see in the picture below that the bare aluminum acts as both a reflector and a lamp shade to keep the light where I want it. You can dim this to whatever value you want via the panel knob, but this is cranked all the way up.

This picture was taken about 6:00 pm, so late afternoon, but still a couple of hours before twilight.
