Heres a nifty light for campers who are worried about power use.

Flexible plug in light from Supercheap ($5) with switch on top.

Jaycar 6 LED to fit festoon type lights ($20).

Remove festoon light from unit and replace with LED'S.

Make sure you put some insulation tape on the rear of the LED's so they don't touch contact points of the switchable light , and it will not sit flat so it goes in on an angle. End result is a light with flexible stem and switch which is low on power for $25.

Also use the 4 LED for interiot light upgrade.

LED's are great. Picked one of these up for camping and the light is heaps better than a fluro, light is softer and easier on the eyes. I run it of 10metres of 4mm cable from the rear socket.







36 high intensity LED's using 3.5W
Works between 8 - 15v
Overall length 700mm (650mm of lights)

Father in law installed one in the back of his Cruiser to replace the interior light. Bloody marvellous.
