Lack of ligthing in kitchen area of Bailey Arizona

[Tim2]

Hi

We recently bought a Bailey Senator Arizona (2006). We are very pleased with the 'van generally and have used it in the UK as well as 5 weeks in Italy this Summer.

However we find the lighting arrangements rather odd. The front louunge areas is VERY well lit with 2 mains lights, 2 reading lights under the cupboard and 4 lights in the rooflight surround, plus of course the large roof light. The bathroom is too EXTREMELY well lit.

In the kitchen/side dinette area however there are only a couple of reading lights above the table and a couple of lights under the kitchen cupboards. Our previous van had an additional central light square light and a flourescent tube in this area. Is it feasible to have another light fitted to the centre of the ceiling in this area- obviously no current wiring is visible.

Has anyone else fitted or had fitted additional ceiling lights? I would probably ask the dealer to do it if feasible.

Any other suggestions? I had wondered about the possibility of battery powered LED lights.

Thanks

Tim

I have a Senator Arizona as well and share your frustration on the lighting in the kitchen / side dinnette area. Whilst we find the lighting ok for cooking it is not easy to read at the side dinette area as there is no light above the table area.

I had been thinking more of a couple of LED lights over the table rather than more substantial lighting at roof level but it has not got beyond the thinking of it stage so far.
