Ceiling Flush Mount Puck Lights-Halogen to LED Bulbs

For the 911 bulbs, maybe try doing a search on ebay for a T10 base LED. I tried a few searches with different variations of this and found quite a few, some in round and some flat circular. Hope this may help. Happy Trails Bert

JC2,
Well, Yep, I've done exactly what you're thinking of. And I did it over 6+ years ago. I too got mine from www.superbrightleds.com and, I've not had one bit of trouble with mine. There are (8) in the living room and kitchen area and, three in the bedroom. I wanted the "cool" white version but, the CEO over ruled me and, we ended up with the Warm white ones. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than those lousy, SERIOUSLY HOT, 20 watt Halogens that were in there in the first place. With those originals, you could turn them on and, within approximately 5-10 seconds, you'd burn your hand if you tried to remove or service them.

But, with the LED replacements, they could be on for weeks and you wouldn't burn anything trying to service them. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I've used superbright now for years and years and, yes, they're a bit on the expensive side. But, when I do a job, I want to do it ONE TIME and ONE TIME ONLY. No el-cheap-o ones for me.

I did all the interior lights with LEDs when I did those and, as stated, that was years ago and all are still working flawlessly.

13 years ago when G4 LED were almost $3 I replaced all of my ceiling halogen with 32 led bulbs...went from 36 amps to 4 with all on. In those 13 years I had to replace 2. I recently replaced over 70 in my "new" ride at less than $1 each. I like the 5050 chip size and the link below will let you measure if you can put a 15 chip led or even a 24 in your puck. Most of mine were only big enough for a 12 chip bulb after cutting some of the leads off so they are centered in the puck. If under a cabinet I would not worry about them being centered...more chips equal more light. I now like the warm white closer to 3500 temp the best for inside use. Buy a couple of each size and SEE how you like them...won't be out much.

I have the 911 bulbs, how would I use these with just the wires sticking out ??

I got a 20 pack of the led replacements for around $15. They aren't quite as bright as the halogen but not significantly enough for most to notice. No flickering or any other issues.

Almost 5 years and my 10 w and 20 w leds are still working fine. They are the white light not the yellow. Only problem when I use the antenna for the tv, the lights in the bedroom cause signal loss!

I agree with all of the suggestions above. I found some on ebay, bought a few, they were junk, so found a different style. Did this a couple of times and hit on some good ones. I tried the 25 smaller smd's and ended up with the 12 larger smd type. I had to shorten the leads slightly and they are dim-able. I have had a few over the three years that started to flash, They were cheap enough to throw away and replace, but only about 3 or 4. Are they the answer to everything, no, but we have then in all our lights except the florescents and they work well for us. I do not have any of the halogen in the fixtures. Some were hot enough that they felt like they would damage the vinyl around the lens. They may not be good for every situation, but they do work well for us. Hope this may help, Happy Trails, Bert

I've been gradually replacing mine. Got several equivalent to 20W (the ones I bought are currently unavailable) but they have other 20 and 30W equivalents. I got them in a warm white and really like them. Much less heat production and they have performed well.

Don't handle halogens with your bare fingers. Use a cloth or cloth gloves. The oil from your skin makes a hotspot on the bulb causing premature burn-out.

Old auto industry trick.
