Maplins just reduced the price of many of its LED lighting units. Picked up four warm white flush ceiling lights today - 12v, £5.99. Really nice light for reading without blasting your eyeballs. Nice finish on them too. Ideal fitted in an overhead locker or similar.

Still show online at original price:

Not actually measured them. Would say about 2" across. Says 0.5amp but would imagine that it will be less than that since the mains power supply that comes with them isn't needed, plus I see no reason why you couldn't switch lights individually if you wanted to.

There were others reduced but they were smaller units in packs of six.

I made & fitted an extension to my existing Autosleeper ladder http://forum.club8090.co.uk/viewtopic.p ... start=6870" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (scroll down to my post) it wasn't that difficult. I've seen the ladders on E-bay, but any fabricator should be able to knock you one out.

You saying I can run these lights from 12v?
