Default cabin lights

I have this great little LED flashlight I got at Walmart a few years ago. It switches between red, white, and blue light. Anyone know of something like this which can be mounted inside the cabin - similar to the ones Stein sells, but with switchable colors?

Joe,
That's exactly what I have in my plane (Blue and white). Same brand you listed so I don't know why Stein doesn't have the combos on his site anymore. I'm sure someone carries them.

IIRC, there's 3 wires so each color is independently controlled. I used a 3-position rocker for mine: On (blue) - Off (Center) - On (white). There is no switch on the light itself.

Here's the same thing from ACS:
