Ordered 2 of these Werbung: Biard 12V 20 LED SMD last Monday,. Arrived today and I fitted them in the front dinette this afternoon. I think they are good value at £10.99 + free delivery.

We've previously fitted two to the rear dinette a few years ago and they give very good light. We fitted them to each side of the Eriba under the high level cupboards and in front of the pelmets.

To replace existing lighting or as an addition? I put in a string of led lights round the pop top and some sections have failed though I am still pleased with them (only a tenner from lidl)

Additional Nev. I wired them through the cupboards into the feed for the existing lights.

In Eriba World Blue = Live, Brown = Neutral.

More than we would attempt too. Don't do electrics, nasty bitey stuff.
Roger, Neil says if you fancy installing some in our van for us we can offer parking with hook-up and plenty of falling down water. Or if you prefer, accomodation in the house. Falling down water included with either offer!

I fitted a pair of those to my Puck, although they were branded as Signal, they look identical.
I originally bought 10led versions, and carefully drilled the spotlight units to take them, as I didn't want nasty holes in the wood. (Excuse the cardboard "blind" to keep the sun off the curtains & worktop.)

I then thought it was a bit dim over the table, so I swapped for a 14 led version, unfortunately, the carefully fitted brackets are now partly over the leds

They do give a warm yellowy light, much better than the harsh blue-white you get with the cheap versions

I was lucky with the wiring, as I have an all DC version, the Puck diagrams indicate that it is more usual to have AC for the lights when on hookup, these lamps won't work without modification if that is the case.

Unprofessionally, I simply trapped the flat leads between the spotlamp case and the wood, (there is a fuse, but they shouldn't chafe) rather than use a neat hole & grommet, as I didn't have any small grommets to hand.
