Hi. rob-angi
Changed mine in the lounge area spotlights from halogen, loading went down to 0.5 amps from 3.3 amps. It was well worth the money changing the lamps. Hope this helps.

Fitted just 2 of the 4 so far with LEDs...great, went for the warm version, the standard are far too blue. As mentioned by others, tiny current draw, and run totally cool. Going to change the others soon too.

Same here;

Replaced all ours, we have the warm ones in the living area's and 2 x white ones in the toilet room.

We got ours from Aten Lighting, they will give a MHF discount as well. Smile

I've changed all the interior halogen lights to LEDs. There are four blue-white LEDs and 3 yellow-white LEDs. I agree that the yellow-white ones are warmer, but they are less bright for the same consumption. Even so, I find the blue-white LEDs too harsh to use as reading lights. I have five fluorescent lamps but they are inherently more efficient than tungsten/halogen, though less efficient than LEDs, so I won't bother trying to find replacements for those.

I've just checked the awning light and that is a 12v 21 watt tungsten sidelamp bulb, so that will have to go!

Ditto the above. Best move we ever did as far as battery drain is concerned. I also agree with the comments about white v yellow - we have gone for white in toilet area and bedroom spots as we think the white is better for reading.

Little tip though - If you are switching just the halogen bulbs with the 2 prong bayonet fitting then go for the new style bulbs G4 with 6 LED's as they are slightly smaller than the 21 LED and fit better without any loss of light. They are a bit more expensive but worth it in saving frustration trying to make the larger ones fit. Much cooler running as well - hardly any heat generated.

If I switched on all our lounge and toilet lights the ammeter would clock up 35 amps discharge, with all LED's on it barely flickers
