This is handy in a camper van as in a van, especially when the existing wiring does not allow an extra switch to be fitted. The switch sits on the downlight or on the supply cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"CollectionPage\",\"name\":\"12V LED downlights: choosing your low-voltage lighting room by room\",\"description\":\"12V LED downlights: how to choose a recessed or surface-mounted downlight, the colour, the ingress protection rating and the 12V supply for each room of the house.\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/designix.fr\/collections\/spots-led-12v\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"name\":\"Designix\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/designix.fr\"},\"speakable\":{\"@type\":\"SpeakableSpecification\",\"cssSelector\":[\"h1\",\"h2\"]}},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/designix.fr\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Lighting\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/designix.fr\/collections\/luminaire\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":3,\"name\":\"Downlights\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/designix.fr\/collections\/spots\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":4,\"name\":\"12V LED downlights: choosing your low-voltage lighting room by room\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/designix.fr\/collections\/spots-led-12v\"}]},{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is the price of an LED downlight?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The price depends on the format, material, finish and supply of the model: a simple recessed downlight is not at the same level as an adjustable metal downlight or a model intended for outdoors.

A loose connection, reversed polarity on a 12V setup or too many downlights on one driver can also cause repeated cut-outs. The supply is checked first.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Cuttable LED strip, how does it work?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"A cuttable LED strip has regular cutting marks: cut only at these marks, never between two LEDs, otherwise the section loses its supply.
