I hope these pictures come out, if not I'll try again below

I need to replace these tube ceiling lights with LED versions, as cheap as possible. Best way please?

I cannot identify what type of fitting you have. Not quite sure if you can simply replace the bulb.

If you search the internet you will find plenty of suppliers of 12V LED lighting. Simply remove the old fitting and replace the whole thing with a new LED fitting.

You will have to remove the fitting already present as you will not be able to use it for a LED light due to the starter electronics for the old tubes.

Thanks guys.

I'm going to change all the spots as they are the little g4 bulbs so easy. I installed Led from a reel in the old caravan but don't really want to drill/stick that everywhere in new one and got 3 weeks on non-ehu and battery just lasts longer between charges if all lights led.

Cheers

.........you can remove your fluorescent tubes and replace with 2/3 of these G4 Led bulbs fitted into connector blocks cut into pairs from a strip.
The Leds should be wired to the 12volt supply not to the output from the mini inverter that powered the tubes

Also before removing the tubes ensure its switched off, it may only be 12v but the starter can give you a fair shock if your not careful.

By Ek,
Seeing those took me back to the 70's when my caravan had them.
They did very strange things to the radio reception.

Great idea. Are these 3 collectively as bright as the tubes they replace?

......the link I gave in my previous post was for pure while LEDs.
If these were used the three units would give a brighter light than your two tubes........if warm whites were used the light output would be similar.
