This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Electricity.

In this Badge Bit, you will replace or install a permanent DC light fixture.

Wiring varies greatly, just be safe when pursuing this BB


To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
  - install new or replace existing permanent DC light fixture

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must provide:
   - a picture of the current location that needs a new light fixture
   - a picture of the installation midway through
   - a picture of the finished installation with the light turned on

Would 12V LED strip light be okay as a permanent fixture?

If the wiring that feeds it is DC I think it counts...  Unless by "light strip" you mean an adhesive strip, then I'm not sure...  Maybe post it and it will be a good test for the certifiers?

We are trying to improve our storage shed so we installed more lights and an outlet on a battery (Hopefully soon to be switched to solar).
