Anyone fitted a permanent light in a westy poptop?

I would really like to do this for my little one who sleeps up top...
Just looking for some advice before I bodge one up there.....

I have been using a florescent inspection lamp which does work well but would like something permanent.
Many thanks lhd........................

Dont know if this is any good to you L.H.D http://www.towsure.com/product.asp?p=7565
I use one in my westy pop top it clips on to the push up bar with the clips on the back. I have cut off the battary clips and put a 12v plug on it which plugs in buy the little fuse box buy the cooker.

I currently use an inspection lamp with a hook at the end, hook it to the skylight, wind around a coat hanger, through the grab handle mounted on the windscreen pillar, and to the cigarrete lighter.
It does work great but has to be taken down and stored and put back up.
I know your thinking lazy "bar-steward" now.

I Like the idea of the clips though,What I want are no wires hanging about.
Maybe I could thread them through the poles that hold up the pop top?
Thanks for that you have given me food for thought....

With one of these and the socket that go with it. http://www.towsure.com/product.asp?p=526
It does not solve the wire problem but it will make it a bit shorter.
