Hi Guys,
I've been lurking on here for a while, reading & digesting as much as poss.
I've just bought my self a van (FFB Talber 2.5td 1991, 60k) & I'm fairly happy with it.
It has a 80 watt solar panel & a 115 amp leisure battery, which I'm hoping will be enough to see us by, as I don't really plan to use much power - maybe run the laptop & the pumps (taps/shower) & lights.
Here's the question (always is one, from us newbies), I have flurescent tube lighting & I understand LCD is the way to go in terms of power savings.
Although, I reckon there may (?) not really be much in it - but perhaps it could save me up to 2/3rds in power?
If it does save on power, do I need to replace all the units, or can you guys (& gals) maybe reccommend a surce of 2 pin flurescent LCD tubes that are about 300mm in length.
Each lighting unit takes 2 tubes.
I can only find the large LCD tubes, as would be used in an office.
Great site & I'm glad to be posting at last instead of lurking - cos, now I'm a Camperman!!
