My awning light just arrived, its a Kawell 18watt 60 degree beam spread.
It will be hard wired with a dimmer and remote control as well.
Die cast alloy body so very robust IMO cant wait to mount it,
about 200mm long
I thought you had to have a specific led for them to be dimmable? Most leds will work between 6 and 36 volts. Others will work in a smaller ranger but they are either on or off.

You do need dimmable LEDs.
Most LEDs are dimmable though, but the drivers for them are not.
changed my glow plugs happy with that, problem is now there is a problem with boost.
Ive either crimped the hose or its leaking somewhere, easy fix ,
again just need the weather on my side.
I brought all new hose with spring loaded clamps with tee's so
good time to re-do the Dawes and needle valve
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Also fitted some switches to the centre console more to come later, little bit of running

Yep it’s the driver which determines if they are dimmable or not. I just bought a bunch of 240v LED downlights for our shed dwelling. They are both dimmable 100% to 3%, 16w with 180 degree light spread & also colour changeable with stepless adjustment between 2700k (warm white) to 6000k (cool white). Dimming & colour changing is done with a remote control which can control up to 4 groups of lights containing 1 to 10 lights each. They work really well & the warm white is just like an incandescent light, not a crappy yellow like some. At $26 each they are great value & the remote .... a whopping $11.

Did I miss something? I thought you’d done a head & were talking motor replacement?
