Preparing Interior Spots For Future Leisure Battery.

[Stevie K]

Morning everyone. New to the site. I've just got myself a new T6 work van and I'm looking to use it as a sort of work van with a bed in. It's never going to be a fancy California camper but I hope to put it to good use for weekends away with the family. I'm currently in the process of insulating and carpeting the interior and I've decided to fit some spot lights.
My question is, if I fit these lights onto the existing light supply from the main battery and then go on to add a leisure battery in the future (a strong possibility), does the leisure battery just attach to the same ring and take over the supply to the interior lights when switched on, or will it require rewiring?
All of the youtube videos I've watched seem to point towards a separate circuit coming from the LB.

Thanks for your help in advance.

They will need rewiring with a separate circuit to the leisure battery.

Dammit. Cheers Deaky. Would you recommend running the lights off the LB when I get it, it’s only 6 2w spots, 3 on each switch. Do you reckon the main batt will be ok handling them?

The existing light supply times out after a while, if you know where you would locate a battery then just run a cable now from that position to the roof or somewhere accessible then you have the option to change over later ?
