Title: Bathroom fixtures changed to Led
Post by: oldguy on June 12, 2020, 08:00:36 pm
Thanks for the idea John Haygarth and Jan and Richard for the bathroom fixtures. I changed the bathroom fixtures to led and
the bedroom will be done in a couple of days. Way better light. I also change the front light from warm to 5000 and change the
porch light to led. I will send a finished picture of the bedroom.

Here is the bedroom pictures of the lights I promised. I used the wood from the old doors from the hutch.

WOW, that's nice. Do you have the part numbers for LED's to retrofit the original "Thin Lites" I changed all the other puck lights out to LED's based on a great tip here!

Also the Porch light LED

Thanks, Paul

I just used strip led that came in a roll. The porch light has one strip from the roll I bought and the rest are the warm light strips
I took out of the front fixture when I change it to 5000 color. If you are asking about changing the bulbs to led it could easily be
done. Just push in the bulbs and turn like an old tail light to remove.

Thanks, and the reason I liked my design when I came up with this look was they look like an original style to blend in with the cabinetry, not be an add on like the OEM ones.
Nice job

Thanks for the idea John. They look great and they throw a better light.

Thanks, I've have swapped all the 2 Pin Lamps to LED's.

So when you have a LED roll, how does this connect to the coach wiring? I'm thinking you need to remove the old ballasts etc. Never used this stuff before.

When it comes in a roll the beginning and the end have wires attached. There are  places marked in the roll that you can cut into strips. I just solder wire at the cuts but you can get joiners. The reason  that I know about the joiners is the warm led strips were
hooked with joiners that I changed to 5000 color.
