Sorry for the confusion. The name of the factory is plural Progressive Dynamics.
Here is the link to the lamps,
but they also produce chargers, transfer switches and converter
Eric - same company as what Leeann has. Unfortunately, they don't have versions for EU 220VAC so you'd need a step-down transformer to use one of their power converters. (Also, thanks for pointing out PD offers light fixtures, including LED fixtures. I've added PD to my list of likely sources for light fixtures.)
TreeSeeker - I took another look at the specifications for Progressive Dynamics power converters. You shouldn't/won't have any worries with one of those.
Their summary, at the top of the page, specifically mentions "filtered DC power". Filtered output power
is regulated and is a step better than output that's merely regulated.
Examination of specifications indicate "no load" output is 13.6VDC, plus or minus 0.3VDC. "Full load" output is less than 12.6VDC. (Full load means everything turned on and drawing close to the converter's max amp rating.) So, under-voltage
might be, but usually not, an issue for
some electronic devices and electric motors.
In terms of LEDs, this is close to ideal, leaving the only remaining issue inadequate quality control or shoddy manufacturing of the LEDs.
The battery and charger is 'back-end' and not a factor in the output voltage to the coach (house) circuits. I also get the impression the converter deals with, as best it can, with voltage drop-off when the battery is the sole electrical source for extended periods.
