While doing the lining of the interior of my panelvan conversion,what are your opinioons on types of interior lighting?
strip lights versus led. now I know it's about personal taste but is led more for mood lighting ?

LED all day .. these days LED lighting has come a long way in improvements to colour and softer lighting.
See Ikea for some fab 12v stuff and I'm sure you'll have more suggestions from others for LED aswell.

Cheers kev, Will be visiting Ikea soon to check for cupboard doors for the van. I always think of these round cluster of 4 led lights.
Are there different shapes and colours as well then?

Got to be LED,if just for the power you use/don't use
I've just changed all the bulbs in mine to LED and gone from 110amps (11 10 amp bulbs) with all the lights on to less than 10 amps.
