i agree totally brian but my other half keeps forgetting to switch the sodding things off, so a straight swap over to something using 1 or 2 w seemed like a easier alternative to wiring in some sort of timer swich !

I've changed all the hab bulbs to LEDs. Soft white in all except kitchen & bathroom where the brighter light is useful. If you are doing it you might as well do them all.

When looking on those websites for Led units, check the amount of lumens, the brightness measurement. The first lot I got were nothing like bright enough, I forget just what I did end up with as I deleted the relevant emails. Try and find a wattage equivalent chart as the watts for led and halogen don't mean the same brightness. In MY experience.

For what it is worth, these are the only ones I've not bothered changing on the basis they are not on long enough to make a whole lot of difference.

You may be a lot cleaner though.
Or if he doesn't turn the lights on to save the battery think he's cleaner!!!

Doh!!!! Just seen it's another resurrection

Hmm...I'd like to but it was a few years ago on our previous van (new van is all LED). I seem to remember that some were easily available at B&Q and the rest were from a stall at a motorhome show.

Thanks all a few months ago a funster sent me pictures of the lounge after he had changed to LED’s. I will know which bulbs I have when the van comes back from the dealership. New cab Battery went flat in 2 weeks so they are try to find what’s draining it. Just got it in to them in time warranty runs out on 17 December. I think they are GU 10 just not sure what watt to get.???
