The wire gauge will be interesting. I would like to use a LI battery and a solar panel mounted at the rear of my roof rack as they don't weigh much.

great video! do you need specific 12v light fittings or can i simply put in 12v led bulbs into any old househld light fitting i install? cheers!

@kiravans5874 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Dougie, With wiring as we are not installers this area isn't something we can really advise on. Other than items we sell and the intended installation for these we have to be careful to not advise outside of this especially when wiring and electrics are concerned. We have not had experience with the bulbs from these in any other light fitting and so really cannot answer this specifically Im afraid, apologies for this.

Hi great video got a question when exchanging cargo lights on VW T6 for dimatec lights on van wire loom its got 3 cables how should I wire this up cheers for any advice

@kiravans5874 3 жыл бұрын

The original VW courtesy lights have a more complex arrangement of terminals built into them to allow for the time delay when doors are closed etc. You can wire aftermarket lights in but you're best searching the forums for details as we have never done it.

I have 12 volt led lights in my shed. They work well and are safer than 240 volts.

@stevemcgowan3017 2 жыл бұрын

Hi do I need an led driver or is it built in to light

@roadrunnerblink Жыл бұрын

When selecting a fuse, do you have to add up the ampage of each led in the series? Or just use the lowest rated ampage? Thanks.

@kiravans5874 Жыл бұрын

Add up the watts of all your lights you've wired in parallel (never in series) on the circuit to be fused, divide that figure by 12 (if it's a 12v battery you're using) and that's the amp draw so a fuse of 25% more than that figure would be sufficient. Always go up to the next nearest fuse size rather than down.

@blakerayeley 2 жыл бұрын

A quick question. Into your devices you have a type of connector, for example the positive wire that runs in and then out of the led light is connected by some connector. What would be the name for that ha. Many many thanks and great simple video!

@kiravans5874 2 жыл бұрын

That's just a simple crimp on cable connector with the two live going in to one and connecting to the live from the light.

I have bought a 12v LED roof light for my van to replace the existing. The existing has an in built switch and works fine but the replacement has no switch and does not respond to same live feed / Earth? Any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi William, Thank you for your contact. If you have the order number of the light you purchased and can send some details /photos of your set up over to our customer service team at help@kiravans.co.uk. We would be happy to take a look at this for you and help where we can. Thanks

@mange2 2 жыл бұрын

When you turn the light switch off, does it reset all lights to off ? i.e. when the switch is turned on again, does every individual light have to be touched again to turn on?

@kiravans5874 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you,The default is off. If you turn them on with a switch they remain off until they are touched, if you turn them off at the switch whilst on they will be off next time the switch is turned on.

Wire for LED lights have a tiny diameter and wont crimp?

@djheadcandy 3 жыл бұрын

The connector to crimp 3 wires for the light- is it an ordinary butt connector with 2 wires going in one end and one the other?

@kiravans5874 3 жыл бұрын

Yes it is fine to have two wires going in one end and a single wire coming out the other. It is worth twisting the two copper wires together before inserting into the butt connector.

Is it not good practice to have a fuse as close to the battery as possible in case a wire rubs through etc?
