Exterior Habitation lighting (1 Viewer)

[DL42846]

I don't have any exterior lighting on my Motor Home for when we sit outside in the evening. On our old van we had a exterior light over the habitation door exit.
I'm looking for something that is not going to consume too much power from my leisure battery. I came across this on eBay. I have tried to contact them to find out what sort of consumption this would use but can't get through. Can anyone give an educated guess or suggest something better.

"0.22A Current draw"

5 hours constant use = 1amp of battery power.

You will need to drill a small hole in the van wall and find a 12v & earth power source plus a switch to turn it on and off as the unit is unswitched..

As Langtoft says 0.22 amps, meaning a 100 amp leisure battery would happily run it for 227 hours no problem.

I take it I wouldn't be able to improve on that by much then.

The specific light you're looking at is "warm white" which has a yellowish output. Nothing wrong with that but a "daylight" or "cool white" output may suit better as they are, well, whiter \ brighter.
The supplier your looking at seems to have "cool white" as well. Might have "daylight" but ....?

What about using a PIR one then the light will come on when to arrive back at the van in the dark. Plenty on eBay.

We have just bought a four meter self adhesive strip of dimmable led's that have a remote control from Aten lighting, the beauty of these is that they are 8-30 volts. Ask for Saul at Aten lighting, he's very helpful.

I fitted the Fiamma LED awning light, you can just see it on the photo.
