Replace Lights with LED's in Caravan if Free Camping

 If you are thinking of Free Camping, then you need to think of ways to save your power.  LED lights and globes are the way to go.

There are all different sorts of globes for the interior of your van, plus there are all sorts of lighting strips for the outside that can be fixed to the awnings or on the sides of the caravan.

We will start with the interior first. 

LED 12 v ceiling lights

You can replace your normal light with these saving you power. All these have 72 bulbs of white light which will consume 10w of efficiency to save power. LED 12 v Ceiling lights.

These are also easy to install with 2-way surface mounting. Install with double sided tape which sticks onto interior or with screws.

12v bed Head Reading lights

These are really fantastic, simply because you can fast charge your phone or laptop while sitting up in bed. It saves spaces and does 2 jobs with one light. 12-volt Bed Head Reading Lights 
Plus it is also a touch light. What more could you want?  These are easy to install by drilling two holes in the wall, which means it is attached firmly to your wall.  There is also a switch button on the control panel.

Aren't these cute? Ideal Two in One


12 volt strips
These are ideal for use under the awning on your caravan, not only does it light your whole annex area it is stuck to the awning, so it folds away with the awning.  No need to pack anything away.

Thes can also be cut every 3 LEDs so you can shorten when needed or you can add a whole new strip.
Plus, with its self-adhesive backing it is easy to install. 12volt Outside strip lights 

And yes, it is safe to use and will really save on power. Runs with a 12v adaptor (but this not included)


Comes in 2 different colours



Now all we need is a few Solar lights to put around your van, so no one trips over your guide ropes. Thes are ideal as you leave them out in back of car during the day and they are charged up to keep your safe at night.
These little beauties come in a pack of 12 but you can use the others in your garden at home.

So, this should have to covered and ready to travel on your next free camping trip without having to worry about using to much power.  Well, that is of course if you have solar panels setup on the roof of your van and car but that's for another day. 
If you have any queries just leave a comment below.  Have a safe trip.
