LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT

     I need to replace some florescent light bulbs.  I'm having trouble making sure that I get the same one.  See attached photo.
Does anyone have a link to amazon or somewhere else.  Also, can you convert that style to an LED.

I pulled all my florescent bulbs and put in LED strip lights. Better light and easy on the battery.

These are the LED strips I used to replace the fluorescents. Pretty easy install. Just strip out the bulb sockets, ballast, etc. and attach the strips to the aluminum reflector using the self adhesive. Connect the wires with solder or crimp fittings.

As the light bulbs fail I'm replacing them with the LED strips.  If I had more free time I'd just change them all.  I had wanted to stay with the inverter driven florescents, but the replacement boards don't last due to improper heat sinking.

I did the same. Been six years and still working well. A little labor intensive but very affordable. When I bought my coach every single fluorescent under cabinets had a bad bulb. I thought a breaker had tripped.

     I used that link Michael gave (1000bulbs.com).  I ordered 4 led's to replace the ceiling lights down the middle of coach.  They came today. It was a little tricky getting them in and out.  To get them out you just keep the base in place and bring down the free end.  It just snaps off.  Then when installing the new one just do the opposite.  Put the base in first.  While securing the base bring the free end up.
    Most of you probably knew that but maybe this info may be helpful to someone. 
    Anyway, this forum is so valuable to me.
