We have LED bulbs in our spotlights. Bought them at a National. We have now sussed have to remove the covers on the ceiling lights, took a while 😉, and are lookubgvto repace them too. I'm not sure whether to by from a well known site or find them in a shop. But which shop? At least I can take one if the bulbs with me if I go to a shop!

Hasn't bulb buying generally got complicated? 

Edit we bought white bulbs but they were kind enough to exchange them for warm. Boy are the white bright 😲😯. They give a very decent light.

If you are currently using halogen bulbs rather than LED's they do consume considerably more. A 1 watt led can put out similar light to a 10 watt halogen. When I changed the lighting in our previous caravan I used ATEN LIGHTING, they sell numerous replacements for existing bulbs.

I did exactly that too Steve. ATEN lighting is a great little company. I changed my lighting some time ago and removed 10 halogen bulbs for LEDs bought from Aten, reducing my power consumption from 100 watts to 12 and as you say Steve, the light is very similar- in fact I swear it's slightly brighter. They are very easy to change. BC-  Just get the same fitting on the end of the LED as you have on the original bulb. I'm sure Aten will be at the show in October.

Sorry! I am a retired old f**t who merely flogs 'em for a bit of fun - supplying the " hot hatch boy racers " with their toys.

I do list some on Gumtree- shpock - and of course eBay.

You can probably contact me through one of those sites if necessary
