Take down / paddock lighting

[Jeremy]

    That would have been my guess.  What are dimensions and what is the clearance, top of mattress to ceiling?

Dunno, never measured it. I can though, if you're interested.


If the 'Why Led?' question was directed at me - the Leds in my central housing thingy will just be those cheap Led bulb-replacements which are used to turn legal car lights into illegal ones. So not complete Led lamp fittings - but there's no need to pay much for those either, in my opinion. I've bought six Rubbolite (Truck-lite) tail lights for the bus, plus probably three dozen Rubbolite marker lights, and they've all been new and cost pennies on the dollar compared to the retail prices. I'm cheap, and I don't spend a lot of money on anything. But I do spend a lot of time on Ebay.

I should have used a quote I guess, but quotes often just take up space.  I was replying to the OP who wants to use LED for something that isn't used much.  The lights he is looking for would probably cost some serious money in LED.

LED for vehicle lighting makes all kinds of sense because those lights get used all the time.  The majority of my exterior vehicle lighting is LED.  The upper marker and clearance lights are the only ones I have not fully changed out yet.  I have the LED lights, but have mostly them replaced as the others burn out.  I've about given up on Ebay for real deals.  Maybe the UK is better.  One could spend months searching Ebay for a deal these days.  When I started on my bus it was much easier to find cheap stuff on Ebay.

I prefer LED lighting for the lack of heat and amperage draw... We used to fulltime and will be going back to it this fall, we like to boondock but couldn't so much due to our previous pavement queen.. With the skoolie we have already went several places I would have never taken our previous unit. Back to the point I would like to kick these on have a tremendous amount of light 360* and not worry about leaving them on to long to drain the batts. Most of the ones I've looked at draw 1/2 or less of there incandescent counterparts. I don't need spotlights just local very bright light! 


Have fun !

    Yeah, a lot of people think "spotlight" when what they really need is a "floodlight".  Beam spread and pattern is usually a lot more important than long-distance "spot" capability.

Floodlight! There it is!! Haha


Have fun !
