Thanks for the video. I have a caddy. I don’t have the space for a leisure battery. Would these lights be safe to jump off the old interior light. Obviously I know it will drain if left on for ages. Thanks again

Alright m8? I'm just fitting the same lights in my van! Are the wires ok sitting behind the ply as they are, no over heating ?

I will have a split charger system fitted with leisure battery, the arctic cable for 240v but no control panel yet, how would I wire up the 12V led lights sockets and switches directly to the leisure battery? TIA

Hi, just checking on the ceiling lights you fitted in the vid, are they a drain on your van battery ?? I.e wired up or in cig lighter. ? Thanks

@GDUBTV 3 жыл бұрын

They’re connected to the leisure battery, no drain on the vehicle battery 🔋

@warrenarrowsmith4241 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for replying. Sorry I meant to say if you didn’t have leisure batt set up do they drain a lot from your van battery? Thankyou 👍

@Mickelmakes3D 7 жыл бұрын

Can you do a catch up video ok on fitting the split charge and leisure battery?

@GDUBTV 7 жыл бұрын

After I've wired in the Sargent EC-160 power control unit I'll do a feedback on how all the electrics work including the split and leisure battery - Hope that helps! ;)

You don’t show connecting the wire into a switch which is the part I really wanted to see... trying to fit these lights into my T4 and can’t work out if I can just use existing wiring in the back of my van or have to run new stuff in

Check out my other videos which show a diagram of how to wire in a switch.

Would of been good if you'd shown the lights working at night so one could work out of its enough or to much light for the van. Are these the lights with dimmers?

@GDUBTV 4 жыл бұрын

I would say maybe a tad too bright, these are cool white rather than warm white so quite a cold clinical light. No dimmers.

@@GDUBTV ok thanks, I'm definitely getting the ones with a dimmer switch to give me options. Cheers.
