Cheap and fast interior lighting improvement

Bought a pack of 3 puck lights (thanks FJ4me) from Costco today for $13. They have velcro or screw attachment and uses 3 AAA batteries each. They have 5 LEDs in each puck. The lights can be set to turn on according ambient light or keep it in manual mode. I added 2 lights to the front. One light for each of the front passengers. I set them about 7 inches in rearward of the visors and midline to each passenger. Each light took about 3 minutes to install. I opted to use both velcro AND the screw. They can be rotated and tilted 30 degrees (like the lights in airplanes). Useful for reading or ambient light. They are bright but not blindingly so.











Here are some comparison pictures. Camera on tripod. Shutter speed is 1 second@5.6 aperture.













I may be adding 2 more lights over the cargo area. The pictures were taken with the lights straight down with zero tilt. They have a very diffused pattern so tilting isn't really necessary. One of the best $13 I've ever spent.
