Ceiling Flush Mount Puck Lights-Halogen to LED Bulbs

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.
  • We have only changed 3 of our halagons to LEDs so far and they will either be the last 3 or we may switch them back.

    While ours don't flicker, not even a little actually, they produce so little light they are virtually useless. Maybe that's why they don't flicker?

    Last week we returned from a trip, switching the LEDs back was discussed more than once during the trip.
  • We had Halogens in ours. Tried the LED's for a week and didn't like them. Put the Halogens back in. LED's had less light and burned out easy. Boy do they stink when they burn.
  • I replaced all of mine last year. Fortunately, I saved the old bulbs. I just changed them all back yesterday. I read about the LEDs in Mohos burning out and/or flickering but I put that off to cheap bulbs. I purchased mine from a reputable dealer, SuperBriteLEDs, I believe it was. They were pretty expensive. I found the same problem as everyone else. These were wafers with about 9 or 10 LEDs each. They were not as bright as the halogens but I was willing to sacrifice the dimmer lights for the power savings. As the days progressed the small LEDS started flickering then burned out, leaving many of them with 6 or so LEDs. This resulted in a substantial loss of lighting, besides the annoying flickering as the LEDs began to fail. I have yet to meet anyone who has replaced their halogens with LEDs that hasn't had this issue. That is anyone who has had them for more than a year. My research shows it has to do with the way RVs are wired and the transformer/ballast that power the pucks. Anyway, best of luck to you but I'd recommend keeping the old lights, Justin Case......Dennis

    I have the same problem with lights frequency burning out in a Heartland Big Horn.
