I have a lwb transit van with the standard ford interior lights, but they arent very bright and a lot of my work is in the dark.

I want to upgrade the lighting to some sort of bright led strip, but after looking on Ebay I don't know which ones are any good.

Any recommendations on what to look for?

thanks!

The problem with the LED strips are the lack of fixing points on them I've found. You may be better off replacing the existing lamps with LED versions, either by changing the bulbs for LED or replacing entirely with a better LED unit.

I've added two magnetic twin fluorescent tube lights in my Relay (as the original light was broken) wired into the existing light wiring.
Something like these...

About £3 a tube from B&Q to replace as well.

Funny you should mention these, I currently have one in the back and dont think much of it which is why I am thinking led strip instead. Something like these..

Nothing wrong with those fluorescent tubes, but i tend to leave mine on all day which canes the battery that's why i was thinking led's...
