David,
Looking good there.

Do you have an AmpMeter to monitor your electrical loads?

I just installed one on my boat.

I do and it's wired through a switch and monitors both house batteries separately.  Problem is I put it down in my electrical panel box, below the helm wheel and behind a door so it's not to convenient to check it I have to take my hands off the wheel, my eyes off the water, bend over, open the hatch door, flip the switch to battery 1 or 2 position and push a button to read the gauge, then flip the switch to the other battery and repeat. Then close the hatch, stand up, grab the wheel and hope all is still clear.  I need a better solution.

Converted my house to LED lighting approx. 2 years ago. The savings on the electricity bill paid for the leds within the first year :)
The daylight white colour of the leds is also preferable to the yellow of the halogens.
