Hi Guys
I'm after some 12v reading lights for the rear of my van ideally the swan neck type but am not sure which are the best one's to go for. Would like some first hand experience and links to online sites would be great.
Thanks in advance
Matt

Re: Rear reading lights
I've got two of these - one on the dash for co-pilot map reading and one over the bed for bedtime reading. Both work well for an individual's pool of light needs.

I didnt pay that price, but can't remember where I got them from.

Or you could fit ciggy sockets/USB sockets, and IKEA do some really decent little USB LED keyboard lights for £2...

If you want a cornucopia of led lights there is: https://www.myled.com they have been going quite a while since the early days of the led boom. They have loads of ones that you didn't know you wanted!

Re: Rear reading lights
My RGB LED strip light will dim down and is just right for reading if you adjust the colour to more of a yellow shade rather the harsh white light they can sometimes produce. They only pull milliwatts too - always a bonus.

Re: Rear reading lights
Hi,
I fitted two Osram copilots (the long ones) in the rear, then retrofitted them with LEDs, they are superb I now have five fitted in total two more for the roof bed and one over the passenger swivel.
Lol they are just fab!
Cheers
