I will try to fix the CPF links in the next 2 weeks or until I give up in frustration. Can not do that and verify with CPF down.

A picture of the space you want to add light to might help....
How much light do you want, how much do you want to spend. Are you looking for a pre-made light or are you looking to build one yourself?

the shower reaches maximum on Sunday night and Monday morning. Advice Get away from city lights. While many Perseids will be bright urban areas, the shower's full grandeur is reserved for places with dark and starry

Lot of ways you can go with this. Project sounds very do-able. Have you had much trouble in the past with the Perseids getting into dark corners of the house?

If you have premade cans in place you can put the CREE units in- they're waterproof/bathroom rated.
You could also get the Phillips bulb from HD- I believe it is rated for bathrooms- just not enclosed fixtures.
I would not go around making your own light strips for the bathroom for two reasons: 1) It involves water and you need to be REALLY sure you do it right, and 2) It's not cost effective. Yes, others have done it and I think the results look really nice- but it is too risky for that type environment.

Put in the kitchen.
I don't know how well they get rid of the heat tho?
Good luck with the bathroom and keep us posted.

Okay, I tried to take a few pictures. They didn't come out great... it's hard to photograph something dark. Lots of reflections too. Please don't make fun of my messy bathroom.
Jason: I would like to spend maybe $50 or less, and I'm happy to build it myself.
Dino: umm...
Purdue: There are no existing cans. I need to add something, and it must be removable for when I move out.
Ken: Those look awesome (maybe for my mom's house... I hate changing the lightbulbs when I visit ) But with 8 years breakeven, what if the technology gets good too fast?
I have no particular need for it to be LED, I just thought that might be a fun route. Power can come from the outlet next to the sink, though there is a real danger of water running down the cord and getting in the outlet. Or I can put an A23 bulb splitter thing on the existing bulb.
