[SML] Aisle lights

[Dale Farmer]

I found these searching on my usual chinese LED light supplier.

At $114 per six, not cheap, but doesn't require any changes other than 
swapping out each seat box.   It's been a few years since I played in 
that area, but these might be required to be on your emergency lighting 
system.  I have a memory of a theater that had them on a dimmer circuit 
that was fixed at whatever percentage, but when the fire alarm tripped 
the emergency lighting system, that dimmer got bypassed and they showed 
at full brightness.   So that's something to check as part of your due 
diligence.   I'd get about ten percent extra to cover out of the box 
fails, and future spares, as finding matching replacements years down 
the road would get into unobtanium zone.

I suspect you could get a lot lower cost per unit if you were able to 
put a DC power supply in the back room and fed the DC out to the boxes, 
so no individual power supply in each box.
