Very nice, I could sit and look at that all day long!

That said... Such a big van and yet so little useable space! It just doesn't seem like the most economic use of space. All the inevitable rattling would do my head in too!

The only thing that rattles is my pea brain in my head lol

Yes, interesting.

What sort of work is this normally used on? I'm guessing it's industrial, with metallic containment systems, rather than just a bit of domestic?

 

[jamie-spark]

Yes industrial / commercial

Although if I'm honest it's not my van it's the pride of the fleet. Mine is similar but older and dirtier. Mr Skelton with his OCD will want to clean it when I post the pics tomorrow lol

led light ues a lot less power to run than incandescent or florescent
and in many cases last longer as well

Van Lighting LED Strip Light (5050)

I have got three of these in the back of my combo and it's like day light, very good lights.

Aluminium High Power LED Strip Light - 300mm :

Just bought one, 500mm led strip light (5050 leds @ 500mA) £36 delivered. Plenty of light!

Direct battery connection via a fuse then to a switch. From the switch to a electronic timer (Foxtam YRHF 12VDC) which switches the light on for a set period of time. This time is adjustable from 15s-30min therefore no danger of a flat battery.

Was going to use micro switches for the door but ran out of time.

Where are you going to put it? If you connect directly to the battery, which will remain on all the time unless you have a switch on the positive lead between the band and the battery. It would be better to connect the positive one of its parks or wire side marker lamps as they probably want to time it's dark outside. In this way it will turn your lights on when lights.
Hope so this will help.

As this has been resurrected, any current recommendations for latest LED strip lights, or are the ones suggested still good?

 

[uksparks]

Strangely enough, I have just redone my van lighting.

i have put 2x 1m length in the back, one in the middle and one Meter in the cab.

its all 10.8w super bright 6000k day light.

check it out, ignore the mess!

Very nice but the blue box 5 along on the second row is not clipped in correctly

 

[uksparks]

I might spend some time over the weekend giving it a sort as its all just been thrown in. It's usually very clean and tidy.

i have to say I do like the new lights.

The cab one looks very good, are they off the interior lighting ?
