Here's a couple of LED lights I'll
be using. I got them at Super
Bright Leds. I made my own LED lights about a year ago using
loose LEDs I had purchsed. These lamps are cheaper than what I was
paying for the loose LEDs so prices have come down quite a lot. The
fixture is an el cheapo that quit working and I never threw it away.
Guess
I'll use it.
This picture shows the strip light
in action. I plan to install it in an El Cheapo fluorescent fixture
after the insides have been gutted.
Here
is the LED light I made from a fluorescent light that I gutted
and installed the LED light bar. The lights are on so you can see the
12
LEDs. I chose the lense because it gave much more diffuse
light than just bare LEDs
I ordered the light bar with mounting clips. I glued the clips to the
fixture with Gorrilla glue. I kept the switch but it won't be connected
to anything, it just fills the hole in the case. The light will be
switched at the door of the camper. The light bar can be broken
apart into four sections and connected with jumper cables
available at the same place as the light bar.
Close up of the mounting bracket.
You can just see the LED light bar in the upper left hand corner.
Picture of a phone book with the light about 12" above it.
