Horizon Roof ... Planning for Lighting

[Millstone]

Hi all

I'm getting a Horizon installed soon and I'm trying to figure out a lighting plan. I don't know how to plan because I don't know what's possible after the install. I have attached a photo of the lighting they install (would be warm-white).

Please can someone advise what a conventional / sensible plan is? I see my options as:

1 - Their full system (2 strip lights and a poptop light) and they leave a wire run near the driver seat ready for me to connect up to my 12v install. The only issue with this is that I am installing a low level kitchen which comes with top-cupboards. If so, presume that striplight could be relocated to the underside of the top-cupboard later on?

2 - They leave a wire run for lights / switch, but no units. Will this limit my options further down the line in terms of unit type and placement ? FWIW I would probably go strips not spots...

3 - They don't install anything. Possibly they I run conduit... or something... or I just figure it out after.

Thanks

Millstone,

When mine was installed, I had just one run along the passenger side, but also across the rear of the van.

I do have an additional light under my high level cupboards.

Hi @gjt01 and @Skyliner33 thanks for sharing those useful pics. Both look great.

Skyliner, you seem to have the strip and work light. is that a top cupboard / shelf in your pic?

I 'm not sure the 210mm top cupboard i'm interested in will clear the strip light. I suspect not.

Hi, yes thats a top cupboard. It is quite close but it still adds light.

HTH.
