LED Spot Light

For the Halogen reading light where is is almost too hot to sit under, or lay under, there is a light at www.led4rv.com that looks pretty interesting.



They have it in Bright white.
9 LED Bright White Reading Spot C9BWSpot [C9BWSpot] - $12.95 : LEDs 4, Recreational Vehicles

And Warm White
9 LED Warm White Reading Spot C9WWSpot [C9WWSpot] - $12.95 : LEDs 4, Recreational Vehicles

They work pretty good

Excellent! What a cool modification to allow it to use that socket! I've been eyeing the lamp holders at Lowe's and just couldn't figure out how I was going to get the LED light to fit. The same lights at SuperBrite LEDs don't have the pin extensions. Thanks.

I bought the ones from Superbright and found it pretty easy to solder extensions onto the pins.

Better still if you can buy them already the right length of course!


The first time I bought LED's for the reading lights, I found they were not really bright enough - only 5 LED's on the board. I bought newer onbew with 9 LED's and they are fine.

I have just ordered LED's now for the chandelier fixture over the dinette & looking forward to seeing how they work out.

Zep - sorry....wanted to reply. The LED I tried was a warm white 9 LED chip that I purchased from Airstream (Jackson Center through ebay). I thought the light was too harsh....the color temperature was ok, just couldn't live under it. I tried only one as a test ...couldn't imagine 8 or more if I changed all the ceiling pucks.

Could you consider a six chip LED?

Hi,

We replaced all of the ceiling halogens in our trailer and most of the incandescent bulbs over the past 2 years. Our ceiling puck light fixtures now have the 10 chip warm white LEDs.
#472 SilverGate's Safari is Home at Last!

Have you thought of trying the 6 chip LEDs from Superbright?

Super Bright LEDs Store

G4-xHP6-D LED Lamp
Disc type G4 base Lamp with 6 High Power White LEDs
12 Volt AC or DC, Produces 77/55 lumen at 7000K/3100K, 120 degree beam pattern, 0.9 inch diameter
$ 11.95


At the time I was ordering, Superbright did not offer the reading light LED replacement that fix58 displayed in post # 205. I have the 15 chip LED replacement.
G4-WHP15-T White LED Lamp
Tower type G4 base Lamp with 15 High Power Cool or Warm White LEDs
12Volt AC or DC, 360 Viewing Angle, 75 lumen
Select Color Temp.
$ 16.95

We are pleased with all of our LED replacements since we prefer to dry camp in comfortable weather. With solar power and conservation, we have no problems with battery drain.

Costco is presently selling packets of single flickering LED votive lights. We have converted to these from using candles since they do not need to be minded and do not set off the fire alarm when they burn out. A warm ambiance is created as the light reflects off the the aluminum ceiling.

Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving,
Larry
