I have changed most of my motorhome lights to LED bulbs - they seem just as bright and use a tenth of the power of the halogen ones - also don't get hot!

No, they are typically £1-£2 each if you buy direct from HK/China. Delivery is variable and can take a month, but I must have bought 30 or so during the last year and they all turned up and worked Ok.

If you don't like the blue white light (I hate it) then go for ones described as "warm white". They won't be quite as bright, but it is (IMO) a much more pleasant lighting colour.

Hi all.

The good thing for all those who want to change is the price of LED's has come down hell of a lot over the last couple of years so they're well worth looking at now a days. Plus they should last longer.

I run all LED's so by battery will last for much longer when on a basic site with no hook up or next to the beech
