Stainless steel bread boxes from Wally world... not for holding bread, but will hold chips, canned goods, etc.

Becca... I know our heads clear the lights, but might have to be careful about the heat! yikes!
Some things are way over my head !! ...but it keeps me looking UP!

Yes, I have noticed the heat with my lights too and mine is in a house! You probably won't have any issues since the galley will is open and will have wind.

Smaller 15 = 25 watt bulbs will help to greatly reduce the heat (and glare).

Many of my lights have a single 4-7 watt white or clear christmas light.

Out camping I really don't like the hard harsh light of 40 to 50 watt bulbs.
All I want is enough to see the immediate area.

I run 25watt bug lightbulbs when I can ib my house, I love the warn earthy feel vs white light. Good suggestion on the smaller bulbs and Christmas lights too since Julie and I share the same fixture in her small trailer and my big trailer LOL...

Take care,
