Let there be light...
Just before the van goes into The Campershak, there's a few little jobs I wanted to do. One was to fit the interior lights. Lighting will be LED throughout - low power consumption, no heat given off, just a nice cool white light.
Above both sliding doors I have fitted a 30LED swivel strip light:
These lights swivel through 180º to direct light either straight down (Door step on passenger side, worktop on driver's side), or by turning towards the ceiling to create a 'moodier' setting.
Just inside the tailgate, above the 'head' of the bed is a single, shorter, 12LED version with the same swiveling function.
These were simple to fit, even for me. There is some other lighting going into the back of the van but this will remain 'secret' until the conversion is finished.

Hi Richard,
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of lights - I used these in my Transit conversion and they've really proved themselves since. No worries ever about power consumption and as you say, they don't get hot either.
I'm enjoying seeing your conversion come together, thanks for taking the time to post.
Cheers, Roland
Just back from a weekend in Abersoch and I have to say the lights where great - if not a little too bright! I may have to think about some more subtle 'mood' lighting for relaxing in the van...
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading the blog.

Hi Richard
ReplyDeleteWhere did you get the lights from? Cheers Matt
The two long lights came from www.stedall.co.uk a commercial vehicle parts supplier. The smaller light at the back came from www.caktanks.co.uk
