eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
It took a month and a bit of asking for the wiring diagram from China, but I now have it so, if you are interested I can send you the information.

I have wired up a 12v led light that is connected direct through a fuse to the leisure battery, and I am able to switch on the light in the 'van from our bedroom window. This means that during the night if I so wish ,I am able to light up the inside of the van, which, because of the light positioning, also lights up part of the garden!!!

Now that is a good idea and could be used as a cheap option to having remote control for the eber, providing you set it the night before, then a simple press of the button beofe you go out and you have a nice warm van. Cheaper than buying the eber timer control unit

Brilliant toy, ordered one to play.

Maybe remote TV power on/off much less current than standby power of TV

Last week I bought an LED battery version of one of these, reduced in Poundstretcher for about £4. I was very dubious about it and nearly didn't bother but it works a treat. I've got the zapper on the key ring with keys and can zap the light on from outside the Tranny, even with door closed. It's only 6 LEDs but it's enough to see clearly inside the van at night and it saves scrabbling round in the dark looking for the light switch. I haven't tried it from my bedroom window and will have to test what the max distance is, but for a cheap discount shop battery powered gadget, it's definitely worth £4. Although I did have to order a special size battery from Ebay which cost an extra pound or so. I think the full price was about £8, and I would consider buying another at full price for above my front door or to keep in the small white van.
