12 Volt Flood Lights?

Postby 4123 » Thu Jan 10, 2008 9:31 pm

Hi,
Now I'm looking for a couple of high quality flush mount flood lights. Clear or amber. LED preferably. I'm not interested in the cheap plastic lights found at RV parts houses. I've been looking at "scene lights" for the side of ambulances and fire engines but they all seem to be flush mount instead of surface mount. Anyone have any ideas for me? I'm open to all suggestions. Thanks, Ron

Did you really mean to say you are looking for surface mount?

How about these...

led lights

Postby eamarquardt » Fri Jan 11, 2008 2:46 am

Hi,

Try this site for led landscape lights. They make a couple different beam widths. I bought the 45 degree to use as interior and exterior reading lights. They are bright and the color of the light is nice and white. At $35 each, they are a fraction of other led reading lights I've seen. It wont take much to modify them to mount them to what ever and add an on/off switch. They run on 12 volt dc or 24 ac. In additon, they are built really well out of machined aluminum and are weather tight.

Opps, I forgot you were looking for flush mount. But they also sell LED modules that would be easy to fabricate into light fixtures. They make round led running lights for trailers. The gromets (I'm sure you could find them separately or if not buy some incandesent lights which are cheap and convert them to leds with the parts avaiable from Superbright

http://www.superbrightleds.com/malibu.htm

If you need help on how to wire leds there are sites that tell how to calculate the load and get the right setup to make them work.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Gus

Look in the box stores like HD or Lowe's. I used lanscape lights. Mine are plastic but I believe they are also available in metal.
