Title: Led lights
Post by: Rick Wade on January 09, 2020, 08:31:22 pm
I am updating a 2004 Country Coach Magna Bob Lee.  Need to know what 120v led to use for the above mirror bathroom lights.

It might help if you'd indicate what type of bulb you're looking for.

Over the years I've replaced most of my ("120v") fluorescent tubes with ("12v") LED tubes. I've found it beneficial (necessary) to rewire my Thin-Lite fixtures to eliminate the electronic "ballast", which seems to cause electronic interference disrupting heat pump operation. Diagnosing these interference problems has been costly -- several hours and hundred $$ worth of experienced (?) RV repair tech "trial and error."

If you buy "12v" LED bulbs be sure to look for bulbs rated for higher voltages -- e.g., 12v-30v. I've had several failures of bulbs not rated for higher voltages commonly experienced in our RVs.

Lately I've been buying Fulight branded warm white (3000K), rotatable, frosted LED tubes (12" & 18") -- via Amazon -- and have had no failures. Fulight has both "120v" and "12v" models and seem to have a fairly good selection of other forms of bulbs on their website.

If ordering replacement 12" tubes, read and measure carefully. 11 3/4" tubes are NOT the same as 12" tubes -- a mistake that cost me an extra $20 in shipping charges!
