Converting the old Monarch fixtures to LEDs.

Yep. One side is definately brighter than the other. Even the 2nd lamp working on the left wouldn't make it. The reflectors I can see from way off.


Mounted with #8 bolts going through the Truck-Lite reflectors, the fiberglass, the oak spacers and finally the PVC board.


Full final assembly.


Cut outs were lined with Scotch 90% reflectance tape, ICC standard.


Cutouts were tedious. Very fine sabre saw blade, very slowly, otherwise the PVC re-welds itself together. Screw mount flanges were cut with a Dremel fine rotary.


With the outlines drawn in place, I started locating the lenses.


I also lined the fiberglass opening with tape so the tracings of the Sharpie would not discolor the gel coat.


Inside looking out. Note: the old spacer pieces of rotten plywood were chiseled out.


In the mean time, I cut oak strips to add thickness to the inside of the FMC cutout. Then sealed them with Varathane.


Two PVC panels were cut by TAP. I then taped them so I could mark with a Sharpie and cut without marring the PVC.


The remain of the old Monarch Fixture.


OEM Monarch light array removed.
