Hi all,

I was at Campmart today and saw some 12V (cigarette lighter and aligater clips) lights that use 60 L.E.D.s in 3 rows of 20 instead of the traditional flouro tube selling for about $100. They are rated at 2.4 watts so are very low consumption. They seem reasonably robust and have a quite substancial cable. They go by the brand name 12 V GEAR. I was wondering what people think of this system and if anyone has any experience with the above lights.

Would be good to see how bright it is and if the light is nice and white. If you buy one will you let us know.

Sean,

I was so tempted! Next time I'm there I'll see if someone will power one up for me.

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

Campmart Keperra had one ofr $74.95 (it was cheaper than the fluro Versalite).

It had a rating of 8000mCD's (not sure if thats 8000 per bulb or for all 60). It wasnt a normal rating like candle hours on spotties / torches etc, so I was sceptical as to how it compared to the 12v fluoro's in realife.

I might go down there late night shopping after dark and compare my ARB fluoro with it. Anything that uses less current and produces more light has to be a bargain.

Cheers,

Glenn.
