The F30T8 Florescent lamps have quit
Anybody have any suggestions on what to replace these with? The fixture has two lamps in it

- There are many LED replacement bulbs and fixtures.
- Surprised you haven’t changed these out years ago. LEDs are essential for us boondockers.
- A bit pricey but you can buy retrofit LED bulbs which are a direct fit in your fixture..
I am assuming you need 12V LEDs your can find them HERE
This type of retrofit does require disconnecting the ballast and direct wiring to the tombstones.
The nice thing is you do not have to find a fixture that fits or matches the existing fixture mounting holes.
The alternate is to buy cheap strip LEDs and cut and fit your own, downside to those is the double sided tape sometimes fails and replacing failed strips is not as easy as the ready made bulb.
I would would stay away from buying any sealed fixture, LEDs DO sometimes fail and once a sealed fixture fails you will have to buy a complete new fixture.
