Hi, just wondered how long its ok to use interior lights for on our van as we dont have a leisure battery? The lights are run through a zig unit. So far we have camped on sites with hook up so have only used them for few minutes at a time.

Cheers matt

depends on what lights they are.

Interior as in front courtesy (come on with the doors) or are you talking camping strip lamps.

Festoons can be changed for LED's that consume much let power:

And strip lights can be fitted with strips of LED's like these = ebay item 190381507333 at only £6.
They use hardly any power (so it's not worth re-wiring to the leisure battery with these) and they ones give off a nice "warm white" light and give out more light than the 2 tubes I took out.

these are slightly blue so not really the brightest but give you an idea

Yeah I have 2 strip lights like those, sorry for the lack of details in first post

these are led's not flourescent strips like you get in ya kitchen.

They give out a really bright natural light, only pull 1.5 amps and are excellent value for money. I highly recommend them.
