Wanting to install lighting on the interior of my arch and see some ideas and get your thoughts on which lights to look into. I was considering Sea Dog dock LED lighting. Thanks.

I hear that some people who mount lights on the arch and point them down. they also have the canvas top customized and get eyesenglass sewn into it so to let light in when the canvas is up.. I'm not sure if your canvas when up runs between the arch and the area you want lit... that's my 2 cents worth..

These will give you some ideas for what to use. I installed two LED puck type fixtures on my arch that are warm white with a 3watt draw. We hardly ever use them, because they are so bright. They are really nice for task lighting. Instead we use the arch - indirect LED strip lights that I installed in the channel around my arch 95% of the time. These are much better to use for playing cards or just hanging out.

Thanks hutch9900 for the reply I just found some LED strip lights like you talked about. I'm going to install this winter and see how they turn out. They too have multi colors and functions through a remote.

Good deal! Just make sure you get the waterproof ones. They have a cheaper version that does not have the coating over the LEDs. It will not hold up in the elements. I think you will be thrilled with the results!
