We purchased fairly cheap flexible lights with halogen lamps from one of the caravan parts companies, them swapped them with the LED lamps. We are now looking for a track lighting style to put 4 LEDS over the dining table.

I have looked at doing this and have been to lots of caravan places, and the 12 volt shop, and several lighting specialists and all have said the same thing.

To get enough light out of LED's for reading, especially if the lights are gonna be on the ceiling of the camper [ like in a jayco ] then you are gonna need a heap of them.

What I have done is cut the cord off one of the normal moveable halogen light fittings that came with the camper and have wired in an 2 bar fluro, and with the magnets on the back of it, I can put it over the sink or over the table using a few peices of thin steel glued to the ceiling.

This means we should get a fair bit longer out of the battery, and if the weather turns nasty we can sit inside and play cards.

If however you simply want lighting so you can find you way to the door and not stub your toes, then LED's may do the trick.

I don't have a solution, but have a question which is a little OT, but still about CT lights, so hope you don't mind. Looking at lights in CT at the moment too.
I notice that with fluoro's that they really attract the insects likes moths, possibly because of the flicker inherent to them.

Do LEDs attract insects? Does this solve the problem?

a. LED's will still attract some insects but not the hordes that come to a fluoro.

b. If you have MR16 reflector globes they will replace the halogen globes in a huge range of lamps - Bunnings, Jaycar, lighting specialists, etc. You'll just have to change the plug. Also, those stores (and others) sell the 'tails' that these globes will plug into - greatly enlarging the available range of lamps you can easily 'modify'.
