Title: Dont leave van doors open if....
Post by: Ste b on November 18, 2014, 07:08:42 pm
Youve fitted LED lights in the back,

Fitted these last night,  halfway  through today and van battery goes dead, waited an hour for someone to give  me a jump start.

Lesson learnt .

Lights are great though

LOL, I just bought some LED battery lights from IKEA.  they can be stuck onto the roof so I have 4 - two on both sided of the van, you just hit them to turn them on.

I have fitted 10 light units, maybe that sounds better. I like to see what i am doing when its dark. The van is very well lit with no dark spots.

As said above, that should not drain your battery. Check your battery.
