the available LED lights here are Chinese. hell, most of what's available here is Chinese.

from what I've read on line, the Chinese LED's are notoriously unreliable plus expensive. I wasn't going there.

no doubt a new door would be far cheaper than LED's. in talking with the wife tonight, we can shop for a new door but not install it until we decide to move and this is likely to be my last home. I'm not getting any younger.

we also discussed the possibility of installing an A/C unit up there; the question then is, do you still think I need to destroy, I mean adapt, the door with inlet and outlet fans? that would mean the A/C would never shut off and drive the electric bill through the roof.

ultimately, that may be the only real answer but the costs put me off.
