We use an IR remote to turn on/off and adjust brightness. At 25% power which is pretty bright for most circumstances it draws just over 1 watt and 6 watts at full power which is very bright.<br /><br /><a class="parsedLink" href="http://1981vwcamper.blogspot.com/2013/11/more-led-madness.html" target="_blank">http://1981vwcamper.blogspot.com/2013/11/more-led-madness.html</a><br /><br />John.<br /><br />-----Original Message-----<br />From: &quot;David Bjorkman&quot; [<a class="parsedEmailparsedEmail" href="mailto:ddbjorkman@VERIZON.NET" target="_blank">ddbjorkman@VERIZON.NET</a>]<br />Date: 11/04/2016 06:33 PM<br />To: <a class="parsedEmailparsedEmail" href="mailto:vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM" target="_blank">vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM</a><br />Subject: rear Westy lighting<br /><br />I know it's Friday, but I wasn't kidding about the previous post &quot;Rear lighting&quot;.  I see lots of pics from knowledgeable folks about fancy lighting over the rear seat, so what's the easiest way?  I'm currently looking at power from a 12V outlet I previously installed in the closet.  BTW, are there extra bright, or choices. to replace the old splitty type GHE Soffitte lamps in those 2 light overheads?<br /><br />Dave B.<br /><br /><br /></div></div><br /></div>
