That's exactly my plan!

I thought that the van had enough lights to read by. Wrong! I bought this light which plugs into a 12v socket and can be positioned to suit.

Yes Pixers

That's exactly my plan!

Can now plan where to go one day!

 

[Californication69]

May. Seems a long way away....

A mini project today (inspired by one of Chili’s YouTube videos). Added PIR wardrobe lights in the rear cupboard, overhead locker, and both bench seat drawers.

Can I ask where you got them from?

Can I ask where you got them from?

The ones in the bench seat drawers are IKEA but they don’t sell them in the UK. I got a pair from somebody on eBay in the UK. Couldn’t find any more other than from the USA at a ridiculous price. So then went for different ones in the rear cupboard and overhead locker from Amazon. Sold as a pair and rechargeable by connecting to USB. They are held in place with magnets so no drilling. If I hadn’t already had the IKEA ones i’d have got 4 of the Amazon ones.

Out of 10 how do you rate the way the Amazon ones work both sensing and light output ? Glad to see your bench is sorted. My set of rhs drawers arrived today minus the fixing double sided tape. 10 nights to go before I get Eva

Hi This Eva,
The Amazon ones are superior, instantly responsive when i open the cupboard door. and the light is much brighter than the other two I have.
I’m surprised your drawers don’t have fixing tape, the tape was already applied to the frames on mine.
Thanks on the bench. It’s a fading memory now

Nice work.
For anyone looking into alternatives, I recently picked up a couple of these which are stocked in ASDA:

They come with decent 3M adhesive, seems to be working pretty well.

Thanks for info on led lights bought a set now plus they also make a battery version more like the IKEA ones so will try these also. Your reservation sign looked good colour of your van and was it your number plate, custom made ? Talking of custom. Duvalay replied to me over their zipped fitted top bed sheet. They said they will send a template to verify once I’ve ordered sounds good. My Brandrup sheet like you has gone back to the club shop.

The ‘Pitch in Use’ sign is from Big Ted on this forum. He 3D prints to order. He has a few other useful bits and pieces too.

Have you tried this yet? Absolute great bit of kit, one of the first and best purchases for the van - worth it for toast and toasties alone but so much more than that! Enjoy..
