I had a scrap piece of Oak so I decided to have a go at making a light fitting to replace the fluorescent tube that used to be above the bed, the tubes consume 8 Watts of power, as opposed to the 1.8 Watts that the LED downlighter I used, the downlighter throws out a huge amount of light compared to the old tube.
I bought this 1980's caravan off Ebay as a project to do while on garden leave. Her previous owner had started this blog which she passed onto me so I could continue it and share my experiences.

For one reason or another I didn't manage to get as much done yesterday as I hoped, but today I have caught up. The Bed is now complete, bar a piece of Oak trim and screwing the ply that covers the supports down, I'll do that once I've put the plumbing in as it will run under the bed.
I will get a couple of chrome dome headed screws to mount the lights just to add a touch of bling, I'm pleased with the affect, they look contemporary (another will be made for the front), but don't look too modern so they don't change the character of the caravan. I have a piece of the plastic beading to cover the seam behind the light.
