Hi all,
I'm just completing a renovation on my interior and am about to fit the split charge system.
Could anyone recommend some 12v lights for the interior??
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers

I've gone up the L.E.D. route with my van lighting, the van is brighter with less drain on the battery

the led wattage is around 1- 4 watts per fitting! you've seen my van, the total consumption is less than a fillament lamp in the interior courtesy lights!

I've used the DIODER range from Ikea.
They come as a set of 4 for around £35. I put 3 across the roof above the table as main lighting, and one at the bed head as a bed light.
They are very good - just the right brightness, and very compact fittings.
As they are all 12V, you can throw the transformer away and connect & switch them how you want.
They also do a cheaper range with some unpronouncable made-up name, but they look it. Have not seen them in use though, but suspect they will be much dimmer, with a colder (bluer) colour.

Labcraft have a good range, they are the main OEM manufacture for most modern caravan/boat builders and a few older ones like Danbury. They stock fluorescent, incandescent, halogen and L.E.D all 12v
