Interior Lighting

[Bush Tucker Man]

On a similar vein to Dreadnoughts BWSOW LED thread, hasanyoen fitted them as extra interior lights in a 110CSW?
I was thinking of perhaps recessing some in the mouldings above the doors/sliding windows.

But, also as a simple alteration, how much difference do LEDs make in the standard units??

Funny you should mention that had LEDS in the land rover for years they aren't as bright as normal 21w bulbs etc but give any 5w interior lights a run for there money oh and i've fitted them in a 12v flourecent light in the back so you have dim and bright!! 8)  8)

I like the effect of that.  Maplins do some LED strips sold by the meter - hmmm, I'm getting some ideas from this...   :D

i've been in iains landy.. the lights work well :) another option would be cold cathode tubes... the kind of thing you get in some computer cases. obviously, they run off a 12v supply, so wiring the inverter into a vehicle would be easy stuff.

im gonna do something with ours when i can be bothered. it doesnt even have an interior light anymore at the moment ;)

i have LED lights in my series (was gunna do the sam in my 110 but thats another story) the ones i have came fome IKEA :shock:  20 pounds for 4 round units you can simply glue or screw to you landy :D
they come with a transformer for houshold use but chop the plugs off and they run on 12v so are fun in any 12v vheicle.

i will sort out a picture tommorow sometime :P

Ohhh those LED strips are just the ticket to sort out the lighting in the back of my landy for when i'm camping.

They age way to rapidly in a car. I have two in the boot of the Audi and they last a year at most and need to be changed. Havent worked out exactly why just yet, I suspect its just poor build qulaity.

Just paid £4 for 50 Hyperbright white LEDs for a project so I may use the leftovers for something similar.
