We wanted a skylight in our van at the front, right under our solar panels, but of course, a regular skylight wouldn't have worked... So instead of giving up, we created our own artificial daylight panel using an old TV and spare LEDs. It took a bit of tweaking to get it working with a 12V DC system and dimmer switch but the results speak for themselves, it really does look like daylight coming through our ceiling!

On top of that, it only uses 30W!

Thanks to ‪@DIYPerks‬ for the inspiration and idea.
