LED halogen light converson using 12v 12x LED discs

Here is an easy way you can convert your halogen lights to LED lights.
These are great to use in motorhomes/caravans or any 12v DC system you have, solar, wind or hydro... or even just using them in your car.

These LED discs I have here run on 12-16v DC and do not need any resistors.
If you have a 24v system, just run 2 of these in series to get your desired voltage.

They run at 0.96 watts, (20 of these will use the same power as 1 20w halogen)

OK lets get started.

Step 1 1, What you need.

1x LED 12-16v disc
1x halogen bulb
1x length of thick copper wire.
1x length of 2c cable (.75mm speaker wire fine)
1x pliers
1x small screwdriver.
1x soldering iron and solder
1x glue, here I am using gap filler & clear tacky glue (hot glue gun is fine.)
1x vice grips, any clamping device is fine.

one thing I forgot to mention...

this Ible was easy for me to understand(I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the box), easy to follow & makes me want to try this.

Thank you for sharing Sir, & TY for your patience with me.

OK.

OK so if this works on 12 volts, then I could seriously replace my dome light with an LED...is that correct? or would it not be enough to illuminate the interior of the motor car?

[howgoodisit]

It would work fine for rolling a joint... i mean reading a map.
You can just get LED replacements from most auto stores for that lamp anyway.

ahhh ok...well buying it is no fun... :(

Another Q:

since most cars come with a cigarette lighter/12 v power source, how feasible would it be to have the 12 v car plug(step 9) attached to a flexible goose neck & then that attched to the LED light? so you could read a map, or whatever....

[howgoodisit]

Just roll your joints before you leave home, sorry i cant be bothered answering your questions... just use your imagination.
