LED lights fitted on mhome? Forums

erneboy

Hello, I have changed all ours. Great job, huge power saving. Just today I have changed the two 8w strip lights (tubes) in our Dometic roof light replacing them with four (on each side) of the little flat GU4 6 led bulbs from Bedazzled on Ebay. To do this job you need to find and bring round a 12v feed from the main block connector as the feed to the tubes is transformed to high voltage to suit the tubes. I now have low power lighting which I can turn on/off while in bed. Very pleased with the job and it looks fine as the bulbs are hidden behind the diffusers which covered the original tubes. Make sure any bulbs you buy will tolerate voltage fluctuations, 10 to 30v seems to be usual. I have used warm white through out, Regards Alan.

I replaced all of my inside halogens with LEDs by fitting LED replacements into the downlighters. Unfortunately the one I use when in bed didn't give a wide enough beam width so that one has gone back to being a halogen but it gets 20 mins a day use max so its not a huge drain

Thanks, guys and gals, for this strand. It finally got me round to investigating the awning light, as I've said above.

This morning I received my awning LED bulb from Ultraleds - return of post, as always.

It is a 2w white bulb with an equivalent rating of 17 watt, to replace the 21 watt tungsten side lamp bulb previously fitted. It is great!! I can't see the difference in brightness, though it's a little warmer. Importantly, with all the lights on in the Murvi, it looks like Blackpool Illuminations, and the total consumption is well under 0.5 amps. That's negligible drain on the two leisure batteries.

Isn't technology wonderful? Thanks again for prodding me.
