LED lighting replacing tubes

Post by Johnmck »

Hi Apologises if this covered elsewhere. I have done a search and all the threads i could find were a bit complicated for me.
I want to fit LEDS to save leisure battery in place of existing tubes in Devon conversion I have 2 tubes approx 1 ft and 2ft in van.
Do i just buy LED strips as shown on ebay and cut to length? How do I then connect these to the old tube fittings which had a 2 pin plug on? Do I cut these off and solder ( otherway to connect?) the strip to this?and then strip stays in place as stuck down?

Sorry this sounds so basic, but not used LEDS before and dont want to make a mess, I am after an idiots guide!
Appreciate any help
Thanks John
