I have an LED downlight in the camper we just bought but unfortunately the module inside is dead. I would like to replace it with another LED module/chip for cheap.
The light we have: http://www.pro-car.de/en/products/led-lights/surface-mounted-power-led/surface-mountedbuilt-in-power-led/
I have purchased this: see comment..this.
The camper circuit is run from a 12v12 V "leisure" battery.
It seems the light is on an independent switched circuit.
My logic has lead me to purchase the 12V COB LED commented with the hope to just directly connect i tit to the circuit where the previous module has been removed.
After further research iI am confused with a few questions...
- Does the LED require a resisterresistor and/or LED driver to safely operate OR
a: does it already have this built into the chip.
- a) does it already have this built into the chip.
- b) it doesn't require either as it is rated to 12V.
- What happens when the camper is plugged into a site and we have full mains power?
Any suggestions to cheap suitable drivers or alternative replacement LED module/chip are welcome.
Tack Tom
