Looking to upgrades lights in our GT555.

Lights above our bed always bugged me as we hit our heads !
The lights above the dinette are starting to flake sliver paint....

Any suggestions ? Obviously would like to go down the led route.

Hi Supersmashing and welcome to Eribafolk.

These are the lights we fitted to our Troll. They are very practical and are unobtrusive when not in use.

I did a direct replacement from halogen to LED using the existing light fittings. I too had repair 'burning off paint 'on my my light fittings ! Had to repaint them but cool running LEDS are no problem now :)

You need to be aware that LEDs are usually available in 'Warm White' and 'Cool white' - the Warm White are nearest in colour output to the Halogens, the Cool White are very blueish and 'cold' ! Also it is best to pay a bit more and get better quality AC/DC rated LEDs. Some of the cheaper imports don't like the poor DC output from the Eriba AC mains smoothing to DC , in some cases !

I recommend the change over and if your fittings are 'in the way' try the LED Pencil light as mentioned previously :) I have something similar fitted behind my curtain pelmet as a background /mood light :)
