Lights

The model is being equipped with LED lighting for things like anchor/mooring light, running lights, and searchlight.  The LED bulbs are installed in brass mounts fabricated from brass tubing and sheet stock.  Colored LED bulbs are used for running lights.  The lighting will be powered with a 5.5 – 6 volt power supply also used for Arduino, separate from the 12 volt power for the drive train.
