Yes we used ATEN LIGHTING   as they have an advice and assistance line.   Which as first timers came in more than useful.  They talked us through it, answered all the questions made a few suggestions.   Well pleased with the outcome.

My interior lights in the motorhome are just standard G4 halogens so were replaced with G4 LED's from ebay.

£1 -> £2 each in 10w or 20w equivelents.

Ebay

I have some funny big tube lights on the ceiling of the van which cannot be changed to LED though as well.

Take the cover off your lights and see what type they are as the 1st step.

Sorry, don't agree. Just had a delivery from them which took only 48 hours to arrive, and all goods correct.

I have used them several times with no problems and several people I know have also used them with no problems. In fact most have commented about a fast and efficient delivery of good quality lamps.

Well I must have been unlucky, but there's no way I would use them or recommend them to my worst enemy, and as for their customer service, they have'nt got any.

I do DA camping every week, and informed people about them and not to touch them with a barge pole.

I bought our led replacement lamps from Leisure Power based in Warrington, Cheshire they are at most Caravan shows here in the North, the led lamps consumes a tenth of the Halogen lamp it replaces, even changed the awning light, which you can leave on to guide you to your van after visiting the local hostelry.

I've a good mixture of different lights needing three different variations of lamp.
I have used (and can highly recommend) LED Centre for most fittings, but for my G4 spot reading lights, I used LustrumLight's ebay shop, who were very good too.

Personally, I wouldn't recommend the cheaper LED lights available from ebay (or other similar sources) as the dirt cheap versions generally aren't fused and I know of several folk who've had these smoke, one of which completely melted in the process!

we have changed all our interior lighting to LED, makes a big difference and better lighting

they take a minute or two to get up to full spec but were well worth the investment

just need to work out the exterior lighting on the van to these LEDS now

Excuse my asking, but why? Main benefit of interior LED lighting is reduced consumption for non-EHU use, but surely all exterior lighting (I assume you mean road lighting), is ran from towcar, so I fail to see the point
