    Yes.  If you have 12v. lighting just take out old halogen bulb and put in a suitable LED. 

    Find a dealer who has all shapes, sizes, styles, brightness  and colours of LEDs on show for you to choose from. We did that at Caktanks in Kenilworth while we were close by at my daughters years ago, but you must have other options closer to home.

    We have recently changed most of our bulbs to LED's. We used Aten lighting https://www.atenlighting.co.uk/ They specialise in lighting for caravans, boats etc. Very quick and efficient service.

    Yes it is possible Spurstow.I changed my bulbs to LED in my Quasar a few years ago now and the hardest part was removing the bezel's from the spotlights.I cannot remember now where I purchased the LED's from but info is probably in my garage somewhere.

    As LED's are now more readily available there will be dealers on the internet.

    If I remember correctly you will need the "flat round" ones for the ceiling lights.

    I agree with what has been said and would add the advice to check the colour temperature. I have found those described as "warm white" to be most suitable.

    Hi, I had a 2008 Lunar Ultima 462 and changed them to 1.5watt LED warm white G4 fitting. I tried one first then replaced all the rest. Look around as the prices vary a lot. 1.5watt was a reasonable match for the 10watt halogen brightness. Look for COB type as there are many different types.

    One thing to be aware of is that there is a difference between powering an LED bulb in a house with a 12 volt transformer and one in a caravan with a 12 volt battery. A transformer supplies a fairly constant voltage, where as the battery is much more variable, depending on state of charge. Certainly the Aten bulbs, mentioned by Vanbird are specifically designed for caravans and have voltage regulation built in. It is worth checking that this is the case with any bulbs you are purchasing. I know when we converted ours, there was a vast difference in prices and some of the cheaper ones were unregulated.
