Swanky Lighting

Brie and I decided the best word to describe the style of fixtures we wanted to put into Bessie was ROCKETMAN!

We feel the word summarized the 50s-era style that Bessie represents, and that we are trying to recapture. So we were stoked to find these nuclear missile shaped track lights at Ikea ($15).

The wavy fixtures are the ones we purchased at Ikea and they operate on 120-volt AC system, so they will be the ones we use when we camp with hookups. That's right, ride the wave of the totally gnarly lighting.


The little spotlight not attached to the wave is the 12-volt DC light we bought from Vintage Trailer Supply (.com!). That's the light I use when I work in the dark, which happens now shortly after noon. The lights match in style and shade of brushed stainless steel so it's a no-brainer. I was surprised how many choices of style of brushed metal there are.


And that's the end of the Swanky Lighting post. T minus 10 seconds to Blast Off.
