I just spent a week in a travel trailer (caravan for some english speakers ). It has a couple of deep-cycle flooded-cell lead-acid batteries for basic electrics like lighting, the water pump, and heating (just the fan, the heat source is Propane). I noticed that it is the lighting that is the biggest part of the battery load.
There are several light fixtures, each of which use 2 ea. 12V 10W lamps, so getting rid of the lamps and replacing them with LEDs would go a long way to extending battery run times. Only a couple of high-usage fixtures would need to be modified.
I'm looking for recommendations on sources and availability of high-output white LEDs suitable for lighting to replace the 10W incandescent lamps. I can deal with the current-limiters, and mechanical modifications of the light fixtures. I am looking for specific LED suppliers and sources.
