I did a similar install in the metal cover. It seems to be the best place for reading/ general illumination. I did decide to put in a couple of the GHE soffitte dome (overhead) lights from my old splitties. I'm still looking for the LED replacement for that 2 lamp light. Bus Depot was able to supply me with new dome light lenses and incandescent lamps which I will use until I find LED replacements. I know they are out there, and I really like the old lights. I'm a little surprised a few haven't chimed in on this one. There are folks other than me who have had busses back to the original ones.<br /><br />Dave B.<br /></div><div> </div><div> </div><div style="border-top:1px solid #bcbcbc;margin:5px 0px;"></div><span style="font-size:12;font-family:arial;color:#000000;">On 11/13/16, <span>J B<<a class="parsedEmail" href="mailto:jbever@excite.com" target="_blank">jbever@excite.com</a>></span> wrote:</span><div> </div><div style="font-size:12;font-family:arial;color:#000000;">Hi David, sorry for the late reply as I don't check this list too often.<br /><br />We're still very pleased with our warm LED lights above the rear bench after 3+ years of use. We use an IR remote to turn on/off and adjust brightness. At 25% power which is pretty bright for most circumstances it draws just over 1 watt and 6 watts at full power which is very bright.<br /><br /><a class="parsedLink" href="http://1981vwcamper.blogspot.com/2013/11/more-led-madness.html" target="_blank">http://1981vwcamper.blogspot.com/2013/11/more-led-madness.html</a><br /><br />John.<br /><br />-----Original Message-----<br />From: "David Bjorkman" [<a class="parsedEmailparsedEmail" href="mailto:ddbjorkman@VERIZON.NET" target="_blank">ddbjorkman@VERIZON.NET</a>]<br />Date: 11/04/2016 06:33 PM<br />To: <a class="parsedEmailparsedEmail" href="mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM" target="_blank">vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM</a><br />Subject: rear Westy lighting<br /><br />I know it's Friday, but I wasn't kidding about the previous post "Rear lighting". I see lots of pics from knowledgeable folks about fancy lighting over the rear seat, so what's the easiest way? I'm currently looking at power from a 12V outlet I previously installed in the closet. BTW, are there extra bright, or choices. to replace the old splitty type GHE Soffitte lamps in those 2 light overheads?<br /><br />Dave B.<br /><br /><br /></div></div><br /></div> |
