We have 2 of those over the washroom mirror where we really need maximum light output. Don't know what to use so haven't changed them yet - I feel they need the reflectors. They are the mini version of the light in the photo I posted on page 2. The stubby type of lamp we use in the large version definitely won't fit. Shame, as they are good and bright.

As another thought, how many of this type of light do you have? If it's just one or two in the washroom, then leave them with the halogen lamps in for now as the 'infrequent' use you'd give them wouldn't have much of an impact on your battery consumption.
Perhaps concentrate on the areas of high use, such as living area, reading spots etc.

We also have one of theese over the mirror in the bathroom...and will also feel that a bright light is needed there...well at least I have managed to change the spotlights...I will just have to remember not to turn the others on when we are not on EHU...

Well if the bathroom only needs the bright light over the mirror, consider fitting LED's to the other locations that you've got these fitted; you would probably be ok with slightly lower output in the lounge maybe?
Keep us posted when you've got the lamps and seen what's best.

thats for if you are using them at home, normal household trannys kill LED stuff, the battery in your van is fine (even if the charger is on, the battery smooths the power and stops the damage)
ive used this seller for loads of LEd stuff, approx 80-90 lamps, only had one fail, DOA, they replaced the pair.
