I'm looking to upgrade the lighting in one of our fleet vehicles. This is an 8 X 12 foot enclosed work space. The light pictured below is an incandescent light bulb in a 12 volt light fixture. This light is about as bright as a night-lite. Not good. I need a light with the output of a 65-100 watt bulb out of the same wiring. I'm trying to find the easiest and least expensive solution possible. Here would be my ideal: someone makes an LED bulb (or series of bulbs) on a board of sorts. That board has wires and a connector. The connector can fit into the socket that holds the current incan bulb.
If that's not a viable option, I could cut the wiring going to the current fixture and splice some extensions on, then add a new fixture. The fixture would have to be very thin and bright. I'm looking to create an environment similar to that of a kitchen or bathroom in this space. The space is about the size of a small bathroom.
Do you guys have any ideas where I could find something to suit my needs? Is there a custom manufacturer that can make something happen for me? The goal is to spend as little as possible in the process (< $50)
What do you think? How can I take this dim little 12 volt light and create daylight in this space without breaking the bank?
