Although I haven't worked on it in a long time, I also did some work on adding lighting to my Syren.  Very similar to you, I will be using pico LEDs, but I am still not sure where.  Definitely below deck and maybe a couple other locations.  It will be great to see how you place them. 

 

 

I also did some work on a small lantern:

Hi am nerly back on the syren build

thanks for the liks 

now back to wat am doing,  am still waiting for the castello boxvood planks, butt I started to get the sheet line in order and am

happy with the outcome 

I did also mesure the wale planks 3 stk.5/32 and 1 plank 1/8 on the botten wale.

Then I started to line off the hull 

am going to plank the syren hull with the spiling teknick,  and yes the hull is getting copper plates butt am going to do this as a practice so I can do this on a hull without copper plates later.

I think this is going to be fun😇
