Halogen puck light LED direct replacement unit
john brunson:
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...
Doug Allman:
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.
john brunson:
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
