Hi,

I'm looking at changing the strip light bulbs (T5 300mm Fluorescent tubes) in my Auto Sleeper MH.

Its a year 2000 (W) so has the older tyoe 12" tubes with 2 x pins each end.

My aim is to swap the tubes for nice LED tubes - less power used.

So far all I can find are tubes for around £12 ea!!!! That'll be £150 for all of them in my MH.

Anyone got any cheaper suppliers of LED 300mm tubes in the UK?

Cheers Mark (in the dark)

    No, £12 is a decent price.

    Consider replacing with LED strips instead of the tube type. There is no reason to put LEDs in a tube other than they fit into existing fittings. The strips are far easier to fit and cheap. 1000s on ebay.

    You need to be handy with a soldering iron but just buy a strip of 12v white LEDs and you can be really creative with the internal lights for not a lot of money.

    Very true, it's fun too, you can get colour/mood changing ones which operate from a remote for that Walton Family experience from the comfort of your bed.wink
