Our current MH, 2010 Newmar Dutch Aire 4304, has (45) ceiling flush mount puck lights which have the 12v 10w G4 base halogen bulb in each one. I would like to "gradually" replace these with the equivalent LED bulb. Anyone with the same setup done this or could possibly furnish a part # for the LED bulb. Halogens have always seemed to hot for my taste.
JC2,
Well, Yep, I've done exactly what you're thinking of. And I did it over 6+ years ago. I too got mine from www.superbrightleds.com and, I've not had one bit of trouble with mine. There are (8) in the living room and kitchen area and, three in the bedroom. I wanted the "cool" white version but, the CEO over ruled me and, we ended up with the Warm white ones. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than those lousy, SERIOUSLY HOT, 20 watt Halogens that were in there in the first place. With those originals, you could turn them on and, within approximately 5-10 seconds, you'd burn your hand if you tried to remove or service them.
But, with the LED replacements, they could be on for weeks and you wouldn't burn anything trying to service them. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I've used superbright now for years and years and, yes, they're a bit on the expensive side. But, when I do a job, I want to do it ONE TIME and ONE TIME ONLY. No el-cheap-o ones for me.
I did all the interior lights with LEDs when I did those and, as stated, that was years ago and all are still working flawlessly.
