Working to upgrade the accent and florescent lighting on a 1997 3100.  Anyone completed similar project.  If so what led strip did you use?
I just replaced the accent strip under the galley on my 98 31 open, as well as adding stair lights and a couple of exterior lighting upgrades (on the arch and under the combings).  I found that the LED strip lights work great, although I added a dimmer because they have so much output. Both the stair and galley lights feed through the dimmer so everything is in unison.  The dimmer I got at Home Depot.

I got the LED strip from a Radio shack that was going out of business, so dirt cheap, but I shopped around and found that the auto supply places are the cheapest for almost any LED's. That said Home Depot has 12v  3 color and white LED strips for home use that will work.

FYI, I used 3m double stick tape as well as some 4200 to hold the strips in place.

The accent lights forward are my next project!
Thanks for sharing your experience! I've also been considering upgrading the [Only registered and activated users can see links Click here to register] system.
