T&T: 12 volt interior lights

[Frank Burrows]

I have been using the Home Depot puck lights for a couple of years. 
Originally the 12 volt ones with the transformer but I have not found them 
to be available in my local Home Depots. I switched over to the 110 volt 
ones but I have experienced a persistent problem with both types. They 
apparently don't like the vibrations from my 6-71 diesel engines and often 
after running for a while I find them broken from their mounts and dangling 
by the cord. I originally thought I was over tightening them but after 5 
have failed I have to believe it is the nature of these particular lights. 
They are the perfect size but replacing them is a pain.

I am going to try some Sea Gull pucks and see if they hold up.
