12v LED downlights

[BlueChip]

I've been struggling for a while to find some decent 12v LED downlights to replace some of mine which are failing.
I came across these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ODSAWEO?ref_=pe_3187911_248764861_302_E_DDE_di_1
I ordered 6 and they arrived a couple of weeks ago.
I would highly recommend them, they give a very bright warm light with minimal power consumption.
They are also very shallow and would fit flush in most headlining or only require a small plinth.

Do they have the required interference suppressors that prevent LEDs from interfering with VHF? I have come across a number of situations where non-marine LEDs have caused VHF problems.

What is the quality of the surround like?

I have seen some where the surround is very cheap plastic and would not look good in the cabin

I got all my LED lights from here: http://hmsmarinesupplies.com/epages...gories/Lighting/Lighting_12v_LEDs/Down_Lights

These are the best LEDs i've used. Very solidly made and look very smart. Available with different finishes, brightness etc. Not had any issues with VHF interference. The Ebay supplier provides first class service too.

Thanks all for the tips - am looking for additional downlights and this is really helpful feedback!

+0.8

We also have Dream Lighting ones, slightly different model. They're great, bright, warm white and nice and wonderfully flat for surface mounted fixtures. Fitted 8 of them, plus two reading lights in 2015, all still working fine. But the bezels cracked on most of them, in the same place - where the power button is and the bezel is the thinnest. They offered replacement bezels for cheap, but the shipping cost from the US is astronomical, so unfortunately not quite +1.

Mine aren't switched I have a flush mounted ceiling switch panel for all high level lighting. The bezels are chromed plastic, but if they do suffer in future, as they just clip on it wouldn't be difficult to replace them.

I fitted exactly the same (also Dream Lighting from Amazon), excellent replacement for original 20 watt halogens in a Jeanneau. Much better light at a fraction of the power. In the Jeanneau thay were simply a very tight push fit in the original recesses in the headlining panel.

I'm fitting these in the main cabin. Remarkably low price, hopefully also good value but time will tell.
