    The low-down on lighting

    Jan 23, 2020 5 minutes

    HAVE YOU EVER visited one of the national shows and been wowed by the huge array of LED lights that are now available on the market?

    I often find myself – just like a moth – drawn to them (1)!

    Companies such as Leisure Lines/CAK Tanks (leisurelines.net) help customers to get a feel for LEDs, by having a working display of products to assist buyers in choosing colour, style and function (2).

    In a lot of older caravans, the interior lighting can seem rather dim. Some of these models still use halogen light bulbs.

    ‘LEDs have a long lifetime, do not produce heat and are cost-effective’

    In contrast, my new van has fantastic lighting and at night, can be lit up like the Starship Enterprise ()! But improving the lighting in your caravan is not a very difficult job and sometimes, can).
