Question for Mike Leavy

Hi Mike,

Where does this light in the rear of fwd overhead shine ??  On the TQ or the "radiobox".
And is there a switch for it or dimmer ?

I am in the B737 Overhead Wiring stage     and will put a light there as soon as I know where it is aimed.
Many thanks in advance.

Best,
Bjorn

So that's what that hole is for. I'm also assembling my new FDS overhead and I was wondering what that hole was all about

There is a small spot light behind it on a swivel, pretty curious contraption indeed, not sure it is really efficient.

Should light up the pedestal. Dimmer control is on the right rear of the pedestal.

When i had my real OH that light worked quite well at lighting up the TQ  Was a 28V small spot light.

Thanks guys !

Problem solved and P. Cos got the winning prize with 727737nut coming in as #2 - a free beer when he visits Stockholm   
Easy to fit a small LED torch lamp head (9.95 $ here) in the space.
As a bonus my torch rear end could be used as a dummy mic in the Cockpit Voice Rec panel         Looks very alike what we had in the late 1990:s.

Sorry for the Swedish text in the picture

I see my services are no longer required here yeah it just shines on the pedestal and TQ like they sll said here. Never see anyone use it nor have i.  It was more like a, ahh whats this do.. Ohh ok, i dont like it, ill never use that again. I have a picture of a real light if your interested..

Hi Mike,

Many thanks for the quick answer, and yes, please post the picture.
I am certain too that the users IRL are almost zero , but on a "homebuilt" it might have its value since a lot of our TQ:s including mine are not lit up.

Mike, that is very kind of you.
I am in no big rush as I have about 60% soldering left on the overhead.
