Title: Help with archives on new Forum
Post by: Maxwell on December 18, 2010, 11:01:46 am
I have tried searching the archives to find old info on changing fluorescent (thin light) lights to LED.  I think was posted about two years ago.  Can someone give me direction on where to find this info?

Thanks, Barry.  I tried going to 'your' help site, but didn't find it before I posted.  Now I have it.

I have a search function on the site that might help locate pages you are looking for.

Also I found Bill's original message. Led Lighting (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=6796.msg29110#msg29110)

Thanks for the link, but are there any links to instructions on wiring it in?  What to do with the ballast? etc?
I just uploaded photos and instructions on how I did mine on that same page

Barry,
Can you share a good link for the LED Tube used in your fluorescent fixture?  The link for the virtual village appears now broken in Bill's note.

Also have you considered using a similar arrangement in the porch fixture?  Mine has died for a 2nd time.
Appreciate any thoughts... Bill

I used http://www.rvspecialthings.com/LEDlights.html (http://www.rvspecialthings.com/LEDlights.html)
I bought them at an FMCA convention.

I have not thought about changing the porch light.
