Source needed for LED lights for porch light

April 08, 2011, 08:39:10 pm

I ordered the LED lights that Tom Lang suggested and they are out of stock. Drats.  No word if or when replacements will be available. I'd like to find a good LED product to put into my porch light.

Suggestions and sources are welcome.  Thank you.

If not, let me know.  I still have one I haven't used.

Hey Tom,
Thank you. This is the same seller than ran out of stock last week and canceled my order.  I just placed another order with the hope that they got some more in stock.  I'll let you know.

Thanks again.
George

I finally succeeded in replacing fluorescent tubes with LEDs in our porch light.  Because one finished porch light looks like any other the only photo I am including is one with the partially assemble fixture attached and all of the wires before they were connected.

Yesterday morning I began the final installation by attaching the light fixture to the side of the motorhome.  Once everything was in place I hooked up the wires and flipped the switch and............. nothing happened.  I knew the wires were hot.  Upon closer examination the hot wire had become separated from one of the splices I made yesterday.  I hate it when that happens.  Then the project went south.  I determined that I would have to connect new and longer wire leads inside of the coach and push them through the dime-sized hole in the outer wall.  But stupid me thought that the hole on the outside of the motorhome was in an exact straight line with the hole inside of the cabinet. So I pulled the one remaining length of old wire completely into the inside of the coach.  Well, crap.  It was not in a straight line.  In fact the outside hole was five inches higher than the inside hole and there was only a 1/4 inch gap between the walls for me to fish  new wires in place.  I used a long piece of solder -- stiff enough to push, but soft enough to grab hold of with small needle-nose pliers, and with Sandy's great help we got it done.
