LED 'puck' light replacement

well I finally got the LED bulbs, no worries about polarity, they shipped from China on the 28 and arrived on the 11th so that wasn't too bad. Easy install as I just had to clip the leads a little to fit into the bulb. Paid 2.19 each and just ordered 24 more, they for the most part are just like the G4s they replaced with minimal heat!

2.5w 12x5050 SMD 120-130LM 2800-3200K Warm Light LED Spot Bulb (12V)

The entire fixture just shoves into a hole in the ceiling and is held in by spring clips. You should be able to pull the fixture down and remove it from the ceiling. While holding the upper portion of the fixture you should be able to twist the glass to remove it . If your lens is plastic you most probably do not have the same type of lights since these are halogen and get very hot and would most probably melt a plastic lens.

X2, the spring clips on either side are quite stout and once you can get one to let loose you can work with the other one to spring it upwords the bring the assembly out. The portion that screwed off was glass and only took a 1/2 turn or so the unloosen and it was a 'keyed' fixture. Ive ordered some bulbs and will have to see how they work out, so far only 10 ordered and the total amount was under 25 bucks. They are supposed to be 12 pads, 120 lums and in the 3500k range @2.5 watts. Will have to see how they work out but bulbs close to that are anywhere from 3-10 dollars which is insane.

Thanks for that info - all info provided and brochure indicates they are halogen...I'll try pulling it from the ceiling in the AM.

Thanks!

I think you are still looking at the wrong side of the fixture. The picture you are showing is the top portion of the light, the part that pushes up into the cabinet or ceiling. If your lights look like This the lower portion will have a glass cover that will twist off exposing the bulb.

OK so we have the type of light you refer to - I had 4 different RV "savvy" people try to take the lens (our seems to be plastic) off to no avail.....are there any tricks???? I called the RV dealer - he said pull down and twist - that just seems to make the whole housing turn...not just the lens!
We want to change out the halogen bulbs to the LED's also!

Just thought I would advise you to order 1 or 2 and make sure you like them before you order a whole bunch. I see many posts from people who ordered a lot of LEDs and didn't like what they received.

Re read my first post to you. Make sure you get the warm white unless you like bright/harsh lighting.

Yes you were right, I didnt realize the glass would unscrew from the metal body. Thanks and now its time to order bulbs.

Lowe's has 'em. Clicky

Go here and see post #8 for pictures of the fixture in the ceiling with cover both on and off and with G4 bulb and LED bulb
