Lighting · SavvyLights
Every light, dimmed and named
Eight dimmable channels with names you choose - Kitchen, Bed, Awning - and scenes you set once and recall with a tap. Around 100 metres of traditional LED's in total, more than most vans will ever hold.
£120 including VAT
You will need: A SavvyVan3 panel. Everything the add-on needs in software is already on the panel.
What it does
-
Eight channels, ten steps each
Five channels at 2A and three at 5A, 15A across the board - enough for roughly 100 metres of traditional LED. Every channel dims in ten steps with a soft fade rather than a jolt.
-
Name the circuits
Call them what you call them. The screen shows Kitchen, Bed and Awning rather than 1, 2 and 3, and tells you what is on at a glance.
-
Scenes, set in seconds
Get the levels how you want them, then press and hold a scene for three seconds until it beeps. That is the whole process. Cooking, evening, packing up in the dark - one tap each.

Fitting it
- How hard
- Straightforward
- How long
- An hour, plus however long the lights themselves take
The driver needs a 12V feed and your light circuits landed on its output terminals. The firmware is already on your panel - nothing to install.
What else you will need
- A 12V feed to power the driver
- Your lighting circuits landed on its output terminals, up to eight of them
- 12V LED lighting without a driver of its own - anything with built-in electronics can only go on and off
Not compatible with SavvyVan Lite v2.1 panels. Worth knowing now rather than after it arrives.
Your lights already work without this
The panel switches lights on and off on its own. Any of its eight circuits can drive a lighting circuit, named however you like, from the day it is fitted. If on and off is all you are after, you do not need SavvyLights - and we would rather say so now than after you have spent.
What the module adds is everything in between:
- Dimming, ten steps a channel, fading rather than jolting.
- Scenes. Set the room how you want it, hold a scene for three seconds, and bring the whole thing back with one tap afterwards.
- Eight lighting circuits of its own, which is the part people work out late. Run your lights through the panel’s own switches and you use them up; put them on SavvyLights and you get all eight back for the fridge, the pump and whatever else.
If you have a SavvyVan Lite
SavvyLights needs a SavvyVan3 panel. It cannot pair with a SavvyVan Lite v2.1 - that is a generation gap rather than a fault, and no setting will bridge it.
