I highly recommend Sea Gull puck lights. I've used about 50 of them on Island
Eagle. They are about $10 each, which is a bit steep, but they are well made.
However, if you watch, they do come up on eBay. I bought 100 (!!!) from a
lighting store going out of business for the whopping price of 40 cents each!

Here's what they look like:

For what it's worth, I also used another Sea Gull product named Ambience. You
run a special wire (looks and feels like 16 gauge lamp cord) and then clip
the lights right to the cord, which pierces the insulation. Worked like a
charm for accent lighting in the saloon and under the cabinets.
