L.E.D. Lights - long lead wires

I have read & watched the discussion on LED interior light bulb replacements for a long time. The questions I have are:

1. Most lights have long lead wires coming from the socket base. Does that pose a problem?
2. How do you fix or position the actual light in the fixture so that it does not bounce or jar around when traveling?
3. Can you give me any photos of the LED bulbs in place?

Thanks

  • Many, many threads on this topic - most recently (that I've seen) is this one. There are several links to LED sources within the thread.

  • Perhaps someone can correct me on this, but last year I was told one could buy new LED bulbs that would fit into existing fixtures. No need to re-wire/install new fixtures. If this is the case, I plan on changing the reading lights in BR and several lights in main body of coach to LEDs.

    I'm happy with the color, but you can get similar in warm, cool, and maybe blue.

    The leads are a little long, but that's because they come with different socket adapters, and also insures the leads will be long enough for any fixture. I just curled up the excess.

    The ones I bought came with double sided tape, and I just stuck the boards against the fixture reflector plate. So far the tape is holding, but I doubt it will last forever. I figure I will just put a plastic wire tie around them if needed someday.

    Sorry, did not shoot a pic of these.
