Fluorescent to LED conversion
I have 2 of these fluorescent fixtures in the Lance, they work great and give off lots of light but not really very energy efficient when boondocking. I looked at swapping in LED bulbs in place of th...

I’m not much on electronics but I have seen some dimming systems on a scope and it is very fun to watch. My ceiling fluorescent fixtures work off of a wall switch but each fixture also has the SPST switch but I’m still leaning towards a dimmer switch to replace the wall switch.
LED’s are one of the most difficult things I’ve ever shopped for. It’s so hard to find complete information on them... especially accurate light temperatures and lumens.
I also had my house built with all LEDs. I know some of the 120 VAC LEDs are dimmable and some of them are not. What about the 12 VDC LEDs… Are they usually dimmable? I also prefer 5K light temperature and the majority of 12 VDC LEDS are listed as 6K and I’m afraid they will be bluish.
I really haven’t had any problems with any of my stick-on LED strips but the rest of my lights are B15D bulbs and I never know how long they are going to last before they start flickering.
I usually camp with electrical hook up so whether I’m using my solar or my PD converter with a charge wizard, the voltage changes a lot. The LED strips seem to withstand it but the B15s sure don’t. Do I need to look for something special like self regulating for the B 15s?
Where do you guys find good LEDs and good information on them? Craig
