Here is what the windows will look like with a cover plate above them. The plates will be notched to allow the individual power cords from each light to come out and be plugged into each ones own electrical switched outlet. Every 5 outlets have their own GFI. There are 5 sets of outlets each on their own circuit.

wow.. major reno
what lights did you add?
I bought my lights from Magnalight
http://www.magnalight.com/p-45201-c...rrosion-resistant-requirements-saltwater.aspx

Here is the info:

Class 1 Division 2 Fluorescent Light for Corrosion Resistant Requirements (Saltwater)

Part # HALP-48-2L Price: $294.00


Class 1 Division 2 fluorescent light specifically designed for corrosion resistant applications, including environments exposed to saltwater. Designed specifically for saltwater and corrosive environments, the HALP-48-2L is constructed of non-corrosive materials. With a glass fiber reinforced polyester housing, poured in gasket and high impact acrylic diffuser, this fixture is designed to withstand weather and saltwater conditions that will corrode aluminum based fixtures. The stainless steel latches secure the cover to the housing, where poured in gaskets seal the fixture, making the internal area drip proof. This fixture has UL 844 Class 1 Division II rating for Groups A, B, C and D as well as a UL 595 outdoor marine rating for saltwater applications. Finally, this hazardous location fluorescent light meets US Coast Guard specifications.

UL Safety Ratings:
UL 844 Class 1 Division 2 – Groups A, B, C and D
UL 595 Outdoor Marine Type (saltwater)


Materials:
Housing – glass fiber reinforced polyester
Diffuser – high impact acrylic
Fasteners – Stainless steel locking hinges



Mounting:
Flange type stainless steel mounts attached at each end of the fixture enables it to be simply secured to any surface. The mounts provide some shock absorbency protection while enabling the user to simply mount the fixture with the through-hole taps that protrude on each side of the fixture. The mounting holes are 36 9/16 inches on center apart along the top of this hazardous location light. The mounting holes are 7 inches on center across the top of the light.



Wiring:
½ inch threaded hub



Voltage:
Multivoltage light accepts input ranging from 120 volts to 277 volts.

Bulb Features:
The fixture contains 2 bulbs. All hazardous location lights are shipped with bulbs.
F54-T5/841/HO – 5000 lumens per bulb, 20,000 hours life, 4100 Kelvin color



Dimensions:
52 inches long X 8.25 inches wide X 7 inches tall

Weight:
8 pounds

Applications:
The HALP-48-2L is designed for marine wet and damp locations, where corrosion resistant fluorescent lights are required. This includes petrochemical facilities, lubrication pits, oil drilling rigs, crew quarters, solvent/cleaning areas, water treatment areas, processing plants and marine loading docks and arapaimag's fish tanks.

Next I will add several Metal Halide flood lights and a series of low wattage night lights. I have left 6 existing fluorescent 2 bulb t12's and 7 300 watt sodiums in place while we worked and probably will leave those also.

I will be adding a total of 14 new Magnalight 2 bulb T5 5,000 lumen (4100 kelvin) fixtures. They will be mounted on 2x12x6' Painted PT wood and mounted on 16' 4x4's also Pt and painted.
