LED Lighting Guide

Key Advantages of LED lights
LEDs produce more light than conventional lights and their directional beam directs light where it is needed unlike conventional lights which produce omnidirectional illumination, with much of the lighting energy being used where it not needed.
 The greatest need for LED lighting is as a replacement for incandescent lights so multi-LED units are produced to simulate conventional 360 degree lighting.
LEDs are used in LED lamps and torches where they can produce very bright light with very low power consumption.
LED torches are usually rated according the the spot brightness in millicandelas (mcd) to indicate the brightness of the beam, while Lights for area illumination are rated in lumens for a given beam spread to indicate how much total lighting is produced.
High brightness LED lamps can be used for many purposes, they are often used for solar powered lights as they consume very little power.

LED Lights are generally used as an alternative to Halogen lights.
Many LEDs lights can replace halogen light bulbs without any modifications. These use 12 volt and so they can also be fitted in caravans and boats where 12V battery systems provide power. These are also suitable for use in 12V solar panel lighting systems. They use approximately 10% of the power consumed by halogen lights and about 40% of the power used by CFL lights. They do not get hot like halogen bulbs and will never burn out as they are solid state devices and so are not a fire hazard.
Consider using LED lights and lamps for caravan and RV interior and exterior lighting when camping and travelling, and just add a small solar panel and battery and you have low cost solar lighting system.

Led Lights for Boat and Caravan Lighting and Portable Camping Lights
The LED lights and lamps featured here provide excellent lighting, approximately ten times the light output of similar wattage halogen lights. They can be used in any application where a 12 volt or 24 volt DC power supply is available. When used with our portable solar panels they are a powerful, low power consumption alternative to conventional lighting. The great advantage of using LED lights, apart from their low power use, is their durability and toughness, they are not not fragile like standard light globes and halogen filaments.

21st Century Technology
The LED light components, casings and reflectors used are the most technically advanced available today, including the latest technology multi-voltage circuitry , they can be powered by a DC power supply from 10 volts to 30 volts, so they are well suited for remote and portable solar powered systems.

Waterproof, Shockproof and Rustproof LED lights
The LED dome lights can even be used on off-road vehicles, caravans and mobile homes because they are vibration and shock proof and fully waterproof for use as marine and boating lights, They can even be installed underwater because they are fully submersible. The LED Lamps are manufactured from durable ABS plastic and have stainless steel fittings so they are rustproof as well.

Interior/Exterior LED Lights
The interior and exterior dome lights for boat cabins and caravans have a 120°beam spread that will illuminate an area about 10 meters wide. They are available in warm white and cool white and also with a combination of red and white LEDs. Some are fitted with a switch to select on/off and red or white light. Red light is used for lighting where a white light might impede night vision, such as when driving or navigating a boat.
