Sorry to say that they look like cheap, low rent lights, however all is not lost as you can very easily upgrade all if them to very efficient LED units that won't cost much and will vastly improve / reduce the 12V power consumption of your outfit. Phil

Thanks one and all for your messages, just arrived back from a nice week away where the nights were cold and we really discovered how truly powerful and efficient the Propex heater was! We stopped for several night at the CL name Buttercup Meadow at Bacton on Sea (page 416 of the 2019 C&MC...
