I am looking for a good replacement for the 45 (or so) puck lights in the coach. About a year and a half ago, there was a post in which this link was listed as a great option: JRLED G4 3W 130lm 3000K 3-COB LED Warm White Light Mini Spotlights - Silver... (http://www.dx.com/p/jrled-g4-3w-130lm-3000k-3-cob-led-warm-white-light-mini-spotlights-silver-beige-2-pcs-12v-330552#.VInvXouvN1D)
Unfortunately, these do not appear to be available any longer. My feeble attempts at finding these (or an adequate replacement with that COB configuration) somewhere else has failed. Would appreciate any pointers at what people are using now or the location of another seller of these lights.
Many thanks.
Don
I actually got mine from FT and they keep a stock. They have been working for 4 yrs and are dimmable which I do many times.

Don, make sure you don't already have LED lights
These are the ones I used, 3" and 4.5". Direct fit replacement in my coach.

All glass lens. We really like them.

Roger,
I definitely (after having replaced 10 or 12 of the little suckers) have halogen bulbs. The one you got looks really nice, but at that price I'd be look at a little over $635 to replace them all. Thaaaat's a little more than I want to throw at this effort. The price on the other ones from a couple of years ago was great, but they don't have any to sell. Hmmmm...where have I heard that before? :D
John,
Thanks for that reference. I'll check with FT and see what they have. We never dim ours, but I can imagine that would be nice to have.

Don, we started with the lights we use all the time and put them on a dimmer. Added a 4-1/2" one under the kitchen cabinet where the outlet is and then replaced the flourescent light over the sink with 2 4-1/2" lights and a 4-1/2" one over the table. Then th bathroom and the bedroom. You have a lot more than we did. Took some time. They were about $11 when we did it. Watch the price on Amazon, it changes depending on supply.
I'd like to replace ours too. I prefer "day light" brightness instead of warm white light.
I hope to find just the bulb "led bulb" rather than replacing the puck holder.
Maybe these Rayhoo 6pcs G4 Base 24 LED Light Bulb Lamp 1.5 Watt AC DC 12V/10-20V White... (http://www.amazon.com/Rayhoo-Undimmable-Equivalent-Halogen-Replacement/dp/B0152VWLF8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1465016097&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=led+g4+12v&psc=1) ?

We were trying to do two things, replace the brass trim rings with brushed nickel and find an LED bulb that was bright enough. Trim rings were $8+ if you could find them. When tounadded in a couple bucks (three years ago) for an LED bulb the glass replacements we a good choice. The 4-1/2" lights re about 320 lumens, more than twice the 3" and only a couple bucks more.
I had several of the bulbs Don mentioned, they are in the lights in the bays. The daylight (higher Kevin temp) lights and LED strips work well there.
Roger these should work 20x Pure White High Bright G4 3528 24 SMD Reading Marine Boat RV LED Light... (http://www.ebay.com/itm/20x-Pure-White-High-Bright-G4-3528-24-SMD-Reading-Marine-Boat-RV-LED-Light-Bulbs-/251637296799?hash=item3a96c06e9f:g:oucAAOSwxH1UCXoz&vxp=mtr) ?
What do you think?
Thank you,

I have a couple like these, they are a bit over 1" in diameter plus the part where the pins are mounted. In the ceiling puck lights the silver heat shield will most likely have to be removed to get these to fit. The heat shield is not hard to get out. Many descriptions of how to do in on the forum.

I found some of my ceiling lights had deteriorating plastic around the pin sockets. This is probably from heat and time.
