48" floresent bulbs on 1987 3807 Carver

Post by quickdecision »

I believe the 48" florescent bulb fixtures behind the valences on 1987 3807 Carver are 12 volts? What are the florescent bulbs? 12 volt DC or 120 volt AC and the fixture converts?

Turn the lights on. Turn the main shore power breaker off. I bet the lights go out
Thanks

Valance lights are run from the 12 volt side of the panel. Ballast in light fixture converts to 120 volt. All light fixtures are the same. On the 12 volt side. Vanity lights, and lights in both heads are 120 volt. Just got everything powered up over the weekend.
