I'm finally getting my damaged headliner replaced on our 46c. I plan on removing the factory DC light closest to the windshield and installing 6 round flushmount LED lights in 3 sets of 2 evenly spaced in the overhead.
What have you guys used that you were happy with. Lumitec makes some high quality stuff that looks great but I've never used them in an interior application. Warm white or white?

Re: Salon Lighting
All of our lighting, inside and out, is now LED. We like the warm white but you really need to take a look for yourself, do not like cool white.
Have had good success with Lumitec, but also Quick and Imtra. Lumitec's 2 wire toggle on off dimming makes things pretty simple. Had a lot of issues to get the Imtra salon lights finally working with a dimmer, think we ended up with a dimmer from BlueSea.
Could be wrong but the LED light pattern from the fixtures seem to be tighter than from our old halogen fixtures so you may want to look at increasing the number of fixtures.
Good luck.CRICKET

Re: Salon Lighting
The headliner project went pretty smooth (with help from a professional). 6 Lumitec flushmounts ran off of the factory dc light switch. The dimming feature running off the household light switch is pretty cool. Any of you guys in the Knoxville TN area needing canvas work OR in this case a headliner give Jason at Concord Canvas a call.
