We, Roy Boles and I, have purchased the remaining inventory of 3" LED lights from a supplier that is discontinuing this model.
These 16 led 3500k units with an opaque glass lens are the same as the coach manufacturers have been installing. They are a direct replacement for the Halogen Puck lights and use same wiring. They are dimmable. Produce 90% lees heat than the Halogens and use just .6 amps. The light in your coach will be extremely better.
Come with spring clips to hold in same hole as halogen puck lights or you can remove clips and use 3 screws to retain. In the past 3 years numerous ones of us have replaced our Coach lights with these, to date over 1500 have been changed without any problems.
Cost is $8.00 ea. plus shipping of $14.00 for up to 40 units in prepaid US mail box. If you are coming to Quartzsite rally we will change out for $5.00 each.
We may be able to get some 4" units but supply is limited.

I would certainly like to buy some. I replaced all of the ceiling "edge lights" with those, choosing to screw them like the old ones. I have been looking all over for more.
I think I got them from a place in Florida. Anyway, please email me pictures so I can compare. Also, make and model # would be helpful. My email is in the BAC directory.

Thank You Steve.
Lamonte and Stan, pictures are now in original post. We have only the 3" (small size) however the 4" may still be available in a limited quantity.
-
Doug, when & where will you be in QZ?
-
At the Quartzsite rally in Jan 17 thru 21.
We will get in to Yuma on Dec 21 to our coach and be around Yuma until we move north towards Quartzsite around Jan 10th. Will also be in Quartzsite until 29th when RV tent closes. We stay in AZ until the end of March and usually around south west area of Yuma and Phoenix.
-
Doug,
The 3" are the ones I have. Are you willing to ship them? I won't be anywhere near AZ in the foreseeable future.
Stan
-
Stan, Definitely willing to ship them. We use the US Mail prepaid boxes as it is lowest cost and usually the middle box at $14.00. It holds up to 40 of the led lights. Only 6 fit in the smaller box.
-
We will be in quartzite for rally we may pick some up then if someone can show me how to get exciting ones out. Yes I know they screw but can't get them out😳😳
-
We will assist you as we have taken many out. We plan on being into Quartzsite area prior to and after rally dates. Let us know when you will be around that area.
-
Well we will be attending our first ralley. So will be there for that. Looking forward to it!!
-
With Quartzsite being your first rally you have picked a good one. Quartzsite was our first rally and we have come back every year since. Look forward to meeting you. We learned a tremendous amount of what it is like to be a Beaver and have numerous Beavers for friends in the US and Canada.

Our coach is in the shop, 75 miles from home. I plan on seeing it before Halloween, so I'll be able to count how many I need, and will send a check or whatever you'd like. Thanks.

Hi Stan, I have a 05 Monterey Laguna iii and it needed 33 with a couple of spares I rounded it to 40 Look great. Jim

bought mine about a year ago from the supplier.... they are a SLAM DUNK replacement.... more light and two extra nights on the batteries ~ price on the light is good~ i would not pay $5 per light to install tho... it takes about 3 minutes per light...
-
John, I agree and we only offered that for those that may like to take up a good offer but do not want to do the install. Roy and I like our play time but thought we ought to offer a little help for those that do not or can not do it themselves. They are very easy to install.
-
just a little harder than changing a light bulb.... i expect that some will pay to have it done... look at what people pay to have their coach serviced!

I replaced all the halogen lights in our coach about two years ago when word first came out about the oversupply of LEDs at Kaper II in Kelso, WA. I called and ordered 75 of the 3" LEDs from Leslie Charette. She indicated they had over-ordered and the inventory was taking up too much shelving space. Thus, they were having a "fire sale." I also needed to purchase some blade connectors at Home Depot because the new LEDs came with their wires bare-ended. I only needed 57 LEDs, but ended up giving a Beaver-owner friend the others so he could change his out too. The LEDs are a brighter and softer light than the original halogens. Their power usage and heat are almost un-noticeable - only 1.2w compared to 10w and the lights' diffusers barely get warm. My total cost was just over $200 for 75 LED lights, shipping, and the blade connectors. I spent three mornings changing out all 57 halogens to the LEDs.
I would rate this project as a significant and inexpensive improvement to our coach.

Doug,
I just noticed your post on the 3" LED's. By Chance are any left? I have been trying to retrofit my Halogen puck lights with G4 base bulbs but have not had satisfying results. If you are sold out is there a supplier you know of selling similar units at a reasonable price?
Thanks much
-
Richard, this link may provide a source to you. I see "G4" listed for items #21, #22 and #23. Have no idea how their pricing compares to other sources.

CBConcept 10-Pack, Side-Pin LED G4, 180 Lumens, 1 Watt (10W Equal), Warm White 3000K, 180° Beam Angle, Dimmable, Low Volt AC/DC 12 Volt, JC G4 Bi-Pin https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HCEME5U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_ADc3vdRkAPOur
I have replaiced all my G4 bulbs with these. There the same intensity, same "color" yellowish warm white using the same fixture just the new led disk at a very reasonable price. None have gone out in the 9 months we've been traveling and using them
-
Mr Jordan, I ordered the CB bulbs-they do not fit my 2005 Beaver Patriot as their diameter (1 1/4") is too big for the fixture. Nice bulbs thought. Thought others should know these may be too big for their fixtures.
-
?? Perhaps they changed receptacle from 03 to 05 ? Not sure but those are the bulbs I ordered ( got the info from my order ) and they fit ... I'll have to check the diameter.
9 led and 1" dia
-
Thought I could use the 'wafer' style LED replacements, but I may have to look at the ones that look more like the little light bulb. Oh, well...

I purchased the LEDs from Doug, and miscounted..forgot the 1 above the washer/dryer and the three in one of the bedroom slides. I PM'd Doug and he has more.
Perhaps if you sent him a PM..?
P.S. They are a fantastic change! Nice and bright, and no heat at all. I did 25 of them. Easy to do.
