Just received a dozen puck lights; these 12V LED light fixtures are the main lighting source inside the van.
The main advantage of these LED lights is their energy consumption; with about three watts per light, you can leave them on without worrying about a dead battery. While made in China, they seem to be of a fairly good quality and produce a lot of light. I chose a warm light version, but they also come in the cool light version. As an extra feature, a diffuse light panel will moderate the intense light beam.
I have three zones planned for the puck lights; 4 or 5 in the main hallway, three in the kitchen area and two above the desk at the Murphy bed. I might even install single units in some of the bigger closets.
Thanks, can you share a link to the lights you purchased please? There’s a lot of choices out there, and figuring out good ones is a challenge!
I didn’t do the video yet and that’s were I do all the links and other information. I tried them out and just 4-5 lights, light the van up like a Christmas tree. It’s also nice that they have this diffused insert; that makes it look a lot nicer. Besides five in the ‘hallway’, I’ll make two more groups with 2 or three lights for the kitchen and over the desk.
