Replacement Fluorescent Ceiling Light for 2004 Allure

Yahoo Message Number: 56397
Replacing the bulbs does not work, it is still dark. Unit is in the bathroom area with another functioning light on the same circuit, so I think the unit has failed. I have a part number, 17918255, but no manufacturer. It appears the reflector shield for the fixture is pop-riveted in and so replacement of the ballast is not exactly easy. Any suggestions as to source for replacement or solutions other than that would be welcome.
Thanks,
Jim Mercer

I had the same problem with my kitchen sink light and got one from Thin-Lite here. Note that even though it was the same model with the same outside dimensions, I had to cut a bigger hole for it to fit. It was about an inch or less longer.

Or, maybe I got the light from another source (can't remember now), but it was a Thin-Lite.

Sent mine back to thinlite, they either fixed it or replaced it, don't remember the cost but is was less than buying a new one. Call or email thinlite,

I replaced some of my lights with LED strips, I removed the ballast, if you want my old ballast you can have them. Its not that hard if you have a pop rivet gun, or you can use small bolts to replace the housing. I also have a line onto some CCFL lighting which uses 1/2 the amps and a very long life. PM me and I can let you know how to do it.

John, I think there is enough interest in your procedure for LED lights that it would be a service to publish the process. I am interested, in any case.

Jack,I have done a lot of research on LED coach interior lighting and have found a number of interesting things. I have been in contact with the R and D of a company that was working with CC on using LED and CCFL lighting. I will have something written up the first of the week and post it.

Thanks, John, looking forward to it. LED lighting seems like such a natural I am surprised we do not have dozens of manufacturers to chose from. Must be something there I don't understand.
