Fluorescent lighting for a caravan

Postby Funkybulb » Fri Jul 22, 2016 1:54 pm

Hello Jools

I am moving into a caravan trailer. I would like to know what best fluorescent lighting out there there that runs fluorescent tubes properly?

12 volt DC is my power source.

We have an old Eveready in the garage as an emergency light source and that runs the tubes properly. Big ass transformers in it too. :fluor:

I've got a pair of 4' Labcraft fittings I've purchased to fit in the back of my van. Going to put the guts from both in a weatherpack. Tried them briefly and they seem quite bright! No idea if Labcraft still make them however as everything seems to be LED these days.....
