The future for LEDs is the CREE chip. Do a EBay search for G4 CREE. At the bottom you will find a Cree that will fit a overhead light. Unfortunately they are so new the price needs to come down some before I,ll replace some of my regular LEDs. I use a LED clamp on light that I cut off the 120V converter and run on 12V for reading
I may try one of the $3 ones in the alum cylinder and bend the leads 90 degrees.
Dick,
I was hopping you might see this -- a couple of years ago I watched as you did the LED thing so you might Boondock Better. Our Coaches are of Similar vintage so I was hoping the systems might be similar and you may have found a solution for the overhead, dimmable lights that may work. If you have then I could just follow you lead and not need to experiment with a long list of G4's.
My goal is to replace these lights with BRIGHT (high Lummens) G4's that are Dimmable. Most of the time we just use the light for bumping around but I still work and need to be able to see plans and the computer and printouts.
So the question would be "have you found a bright and dimmable LED to fit the G4 so I might just order them and never need to worry again?
Thanks again for you help,
Busskipper
