If you do a lot of Boondocking (camping no connection), then you know the battery life is one of the most important things you need to plan for you, especially if you have a small battery bank. A good way is to save a lot of energy to the existing incandescent bulbs to LED lighting to convert. LED stands for Light Emitting Diode and provides an entirely different light than incandescent or fluorescent. The biggest advantage to a boondocks, is that LEDs require very littlePower to operate, so they are not as aware of turning off lights when not needed.
How much energy can you save with LEDs? In a typical travel trailer 27 feet with excellent image and say a couple of bunk beds, you have 20 + 12 watt bulbs. If you were to have it all at once, would be about 20 amps of DC power designs. Within hours, your only group of 24 12 volts in the vicinity would have died. Even if you had twoBatteries, would not have much left at the end of a two-day weekend without a battery recharge.
Well, if you replace interior light bulb in each of these trailer drama series with 24 LED lamp were warm color, decreases each drawing 190 mA, the total power consumption at 3.8 amps, approximately five times the energy consumption in less. Probably would not replace every light bulb with 24 LED lamp series, but it is possible and if so, would take you to 5 times less electricity, even if youhad every light.
There are several routes you take when you can mod the LED lighting: individual lights, such as a night or reading light, all or some indoor lighting fixtures, interior and exterior storage compartments, etc. Much will be domestic and Coolness factor dependent you are trying to achieve. Replace light bulbs can only break your piggy bank to do, but to help a couple can still save battery power.
A single LED light for one night, as inThe bathroom can be a lifesaver real. Well, can not save lives, but if you go for two in the morning, will not be blinded by the light and you should be able to go right back to sleep. A single LED with a SPST switch to activate the bathroom light can be mounted enough light can do for your business.
It can be done, some lights are changing, as the lights above the bed, which is usually too light for reading. There are direct replacement LEDThat changes the light bulbs, except to replace incandescent bulbs require. For this type of LED lamp, the "warm white" type. The cool white LEDs to provide a bluish color, the bright color and can not answer your reading tastes. The warm white LEDs give a yellow color similar to that of a regular bulb.
If the replacement of the leading lights of the RV and plan the type of mechanism, the two devices can contain a switch in the middle,Only one of the lamps replaced in order to reduce costs. This not only saves money, but it is also possible to provide more light when you need to light the second lamp. In this case, you should consider the LEDs, which have a wide viewing angle, at least 120 degrees. This is the angle, is projected under the lamplight. The wider the better, if you try to light a large area. These lamps are typically configured in a flat package with lots of LEDs, as many as 36 in some cases. SimplySecure the bracket with Velcro and plug-ins such as a conventional bulb.
Another mod is a cool LED light tube LED fits under your camper work plan. Many luxury motor homes have this feature as a standard option, but there is no reason why you have not, can not look at this class. First, someone to help test fit for the length of the rope, so you have enough for the entire work surface. Then get some double sided tape and stick it in the closet or under the work plan, in which you want to walk the rope.If you have left over rope, drill a hole the size of the diameter of the rope and run the excess through the hole. Only the stick, rope and firmly press the tape. You can also switch to the power and control cable.
A light step is a simple LED mod, which consumes very little power. If you forget to turn it off, do not worry as it can for several days and still easy on the battery. You can add an additional lighting or a light yellow side marker lights. This bracketsome screws on the bottom of the ladder. The power supply can be performed on a switch hidden inside. Some even have light sensors so they turn on automatically when it gets dark and turn in the morning.
External pockets are a good candidate for LED lights. This may be through a pin-switch so that when the battery compartment open, the light comes on are supplied with electricity, e. Then, when you close the door the color of the LED light is not as important as the placement oflight. The subjects are usually in the form of a rectangle, and then try to put the lights on the corners of the room. This way you get the most of light in all parts of the bearing surface.
Finally Update your camper outdoor lighting can make for a very clean look to improve safety and to go on the road. Porch, LED markers, open space, backup, gymnastics and daytime running lights are all candidates for the replacement of the LED. Fortunately for you, many companies, for example, are now BargmannValves direct replacement, all you need to upgrade to be made. Just be sure to budget enough, as a full replacement of outdoor lighting can run into hundreds of dollars.
Tip: LED brake / tail lights can not be found with some thermal flasher units older work on some vehicles. An LED brake / tail light flasher requires electronic / flasher unit that is usually available at your local auto parts store. Ask only for the electronic equivalent of heatIndicators.
