LED Lighting - Caravan

I have done this on my boat and I went through hell to source some really bright LED bulbs. I am going to resort back to the original bulbs the boat came with ( I changed some 20 bulbs to LED). The LED's are too white in their light output and in my opinion do not provide the equivalent light output. The original bulbs are much warmer and nicer IMHO.

I have sinced up my battery capacity so I don't worry about what is turned on anymore.

Hi Hughesy,
Thinking of doing something similar there is a good web site http://longlucas.bravehost.com/ and seems a lot have done similar on the CMCA site.

Hughsey, my Karavan has LEDs fitted as standard in several positions. they are quite adequate in most circumstances. The bedhead lights are halogen lights and really aren't as adequate in comparison as the angle of light there needs to be focussed.

For a lot of reading I think I prefer a stronger light, but that may indicate older eyes. Nah, I am not a Senior yet. ;-)))) Nearly.

Fluro's will give you more bang for your bucks and put out heaps more light the LED's and can be just as efficent.

LED's are over stated.

Hi Hughsey

We have. Initially replacing the reading lights with LEDs to fit the same fittings. We were able to purchase bulbs in a variety of LEDs (more LEDs means more light) from USA and China, but could not get fittings. The 'tail' is readily available from lighting stores, and my husband used plastic boxes from DSE to mount them in. We have moved from the direct and bluish cool white types to spreader in warm white which gives a more natural light. I am happy to read under the LEDs as they are bright where they directly reach the page, and they are barely visible from outside - an advantage when we bush camp. They draw next to no power.

At around $30 for a LED replacement for each halogen globe I think not.

I've replaced the 5 interior lights in my Pajero with LED bulbs - much brighter and use one fifth the power.

But you have to make sure you use the modern LEDs - they are SO much brighter than last years models.

I can recommend this place 12 volt LED lights
