LED source

WARM-WHITE 6-LED ASSEMBLY, 12V AC OR DC | AllElectronics.com

At All Electronics - $7.00 each

"warm white", but not quite as warm as the incandescent  bulbs.

But we have 27 of the blasted things = $189! Shipping is reasonable however at $7.00.

We do not do enough dry camping to warrant the investment.

I bought the straight 12 volt version, 10 for $16. Seem to work fine.

With the size of those CAPs on the back the reflectors would need to come out...

Yup! I have tried three of them (another brand) in our coach. It's easy to pop the reflector. I've been pleased and will probably add more. They are WAY cooler than the incandescents. I had to replace one of the gold bezels because it overheated from the halogen bulb. That's not a problem with the LEDs.

I think I paid about $13 each for the ones I bought. Prices continue to come down.

We ordered a roll each of white and warm white from one of the Chinese importers, for about $25 or so. No tracking numbers, no guarantees, but we can afford the loss if nothing shows up. Expected delivery date is 2-4 weeks from order date, so we'll see what happens.

David,

Have ordered from China over 50 times from several different suppliers without a problem. Once they sent the wrong item but said to keep it and got the correct one to me quickly.

A week to two weeks if on the west coast, slightly longer to rest U.S.

FWIW,
I too got mine from China (through ebay) to replace all of the puck lights with leds and have had good luck.  Not sure why but did loose one.  I did this probably about a year ago.  Overall, happy with the change and certainly are a lot cheaper that way (even if you have to replace one or two).  There are probably a thousand listings with various configurations of led's for those lights.  The ones that are comparable to what Duane has shown are available and do work well in my puck lights.

We have replaced some of our puck lights and several of the fluorescent with LEDs.  Very happy with the result.

But I can't find a good replacement for the incandescents in the lamps (1076 double contact).  I did buy a couple (21 LED array) of LED replacments, but they are not bright enough.  The 1076 is rated at about 400 lumens, while most LED replacements are at about 250.  Does anyone know of a brighter LED replacement for the 1076?

Thanks in advance.

Here are the LED's that I installed - buy 30 (they come in sets of 10, so order quantity 3 if you want 30)

http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/search.do?act=search&sus=&searchkey=140979759&catalog=#search

bought from DHgate in China - part number 140979759

12 volt constant voltage only only, real cheap ($3.06 each, free shipping. Sorry I thought I bought them under $2.00 each, but I was mistaken) and work fine so far -

prongs are a slight bit too long, I just used the way they came and they fit in puck lights, but you could probably trim the prongs a bit to get perfectly centered in the puck light.

Hi Tim,

Do you happen to have any photos of what the light they put off looks like.  Are they really warm white?  I like the warmth of the Halogen but not the heat.

Thanks!

Not sure the color is that much different, have three of the old halogens next to three of the new, seem about the same. Tried taking picture, but doesn't really show well.

Buy 10, see what you think. Look for sales, I did buy 10 for 16.59 shipping included, now I see the same ones at the same place are $3.06. Or splurge and go for 30, don't think you will be disappointed.

The two rolls of Chinese LEDs arrived today. The roll sure looks a LOT smaller than in the picture! Each roll has bare wires sticking out the ends, so I wonder what would happen if I would connect 12vdc to them. Looks like I have some coach work to do this week.

David, If you connect 12V to those wires the whole roll will light up. Watch that you hook + to right wire, and = to the other, roll is marked.

If you connect 12V to the the roll you stand the chance of burning out the LED's due to excess heat. Had a warning on one of the rolls I bought. Also do not reverse the polarity when you hook them up to 12V it results in immediate disaster....Don't ask me how I know that.

I'm not really going to hook the roll up, although I might stretch it out and then hook it up. We ordered one roll each of "white" and "warm white" so it would be interesting to see what sort of color difference there is, as well as how bright they are.

David,

Not sure if you have seen it but here is my post from Oct, 2011: LED Interior Lights Conversion

I snipped off an inch or so to experiment with. You sure do need a good set of reading glasses to see the positive and negative markings. I was down in the compartments today planning to move the compartment door light switch over to one side and put in a long row of LEDs. Will use the waterproof variety. They are sure fun to install and figure the possibilities.

I have 1120 watts on the roof now and will be heating the system up in a week or so. Solar and LEDs go well together and make dry camping a lot nicer.

Luck on your project.

I started on the project today, but didn't get very far before supper called. Just to be sure - the blue wire is the + and the white is - right?
