Caravan interior lighting - Tips for lighting on the road

Camping means time with loved ones, freedom, nature and pure relaxation - not only outdoors, but also indoors. Whether in bad weather or in the evening for cooking, reading or playing. In order to enjoy your stay indoors as well, it is important to create an atmosphere of absolute well-being in your caravan. This requires the right interior lighting. Whether you are in a caravan, motorhome or even a boat, our lighting will make you feel at home.

Creative lighting ideas - how to make the right choice

When camping in a caravan, there is a wide choice of lamps and light sources for the interior. The right lamp for your caravan depends on how you will be using it. Ceiling lights are suitable for all vehicles: The switch for the ceiling light is usually located near the door, so that the living area is illuminated as soon as you enter.

Skirting lights add atmospheric detail. Strip lighting can be installed along windows or wall units, for example. Recessed luminaires are ideal for cosy spots; they perfectly highlight a shelf or a kitchenette. Because recessed luminaires have a high light output, they can get hot quickly. However, with metal strips that ensure good heat dissipation, there is nothing to stop spots from being comfortable.

Battery-powered table lights are ideal camping companions. They are portable and can therefore be used in a variety of ways: to set the mood for dinner, as a light source for watching TV or as a reading lamp. These all-rounders can be used not only indoors but also outdoors, as caravan lights, to bathe the awning in a pleasant glow, or to light up the camping table as you enjoy a drink on a warm evening. As an attractive awning light or reading lamp, they are a real eye-catcher at the campsite.

What to look out for in caravan interior lighting

The most important criterion for lights for caravans: they should be energy-efficient. That's why LED lamps are ideal for use in the camper. They have a long service life and are energy-saving. LED lamps are not only operated with low voltages - a voltage of 12 volts should be used for caravan interior lighting - they also have a pleasant light. Their light colour can be adjusted from warm white to neutral white to daylight white and their brightness is dimmable. A dimmer is a valuable accessory, especially when travelling with children. This way, the little ones can sleep undisturbed while the grown-ups sit together in a relaxed atmosphere.

Since there is a suitable LED lamp for every socket, all LED light sources are suitable for the caravan. LED lamps also easily replace incandescent lamps and halogen lamps, which have been banned for several years due to their high consumption. Converting your own caravan lighting to LED does not require a great deal of technical knowledge. The light sources can be used for any type of lighting and create a cosy atmosphere.
