24 volt energy efficient lights

24 volt fluorescent lighting is an energy efficient alternative to tungsten filament bulbs, consuming less than a quarter of the energy for the amount of light produced! A 15W fluorescent light should give you a brighter light than a 60W conventional bulb.

Labcraft have been manufacturing low voltage fluorescent lights for over 40 years, and the units are reliable and well-built. The lights are designed to run from 24 volt lead-acid battery banks, so are ideally suited to installation in boats and caravans. Replacing inefficient filament lights with units such as these should save you significant amounts of energy, and in conjunction with solar panels or a wind turbine could reduce or eliminate the need to charge from an engine or generator. Buying energy efficient appliances is almost invariably cheaper than purchasing solar panels or turbines, so we highly recommend you look at these lights as a first step if you're keen to reduce your impact on the environment!
