Interior Lighting in your Bus - Is LED the way to go ?

[theanimalbus]

Could you please tell me what kind of lighting you have in your bus (interior) ?

As we are looking to Possibly install some LED lighting units and possibly a couple of Halogen for Hook up Moments

What type of light units have you installed & where from also which one's should we avoid ?

Any Info, feedback, suggestions on power saving very much appreciated

Many thanks In advance

I've fitted LED warm white 20 watt equivalents from Ultraleds http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/mr11-lumen-warm-white-p-1990.html in 5 downlighters. These draw 1 Amp in total instead of 8 Amp for the original halogens, so I can have them all on without worrying too much about the batteries. Not cheap but a very nice bright warm light.

I have purple,blue,green led lights in different areas of the interior as mood lights, and a good old single small strip light (from Wilkinsons) just in case I need bright light on the odd occasion. A lot of the time i just use tea lights in lanterns etc.

I've fitted LED's in the stock bulb holders. Brighter, use less power, run a whole lot cooler which is nice near the headliner etc. Only slight drawback is they're a little more 'directional' with the light they emit, but on the whole well worth it.
