24V LED Replacement Lamps

Anyone know where to get such an animal? The halogens pull a ton of power and put off even more heat, but Liberty didn't have a replacement when we picked her up.

Karl,
Some time ago looking into the replacements for my ceiling lights and researching.. LED. This little thing was pointed out. Replacing with LED bulbs eliminates the process of diming the lights. LED is either on or off. Just sort of put the whole deal on the back burner.

You might check with Rob Russell at 865-525-3888. He converts coaches and has switched over from halogen to LED. I am not sure if he has retrofitted the LED or if he requires a new controller. His last motorhome conversion does have dimming capability, but I do not know if it is a step type control or infinitely adjustable as the halogens are.

I am not sure if he will sell them to you or provide you with his source. Some converters are reluctant to reveal where they buy stuff.

I replaced all of the halogen bulbs in the bus with LED's last winter. I did not have any dimmers at all, so I did not have any issues. They are available in many different designs, and they do run MUCH cooler, and use lots less juice. They also should live longer than I will likely own this coach. Do a search for SuperbrightLEDs. They have a fairly decent website. Mine are all 12v, and I think they also had 24v.

I replaced mine a while back with LED's. To get the dimmer to work, I left 1 halogen light in the string and that allowed the dimmer to work. Although, I almost always just turn it up to the highest setting anyway. Not sure if there is any long term issue with running the LED's thru the dimmer, but so far no problems.

That's great. Thanks to all! Andre's idea is a great option to giving up. Perhaps Al will want to try again now!

Try yonreailty@aol.com he sells 12 and 24 dc direct replacement for prevost 8.95 each led 12 volt will dim

Try this phone # 850-926-2327 Peyton yon I spoke to him last week he has both 24v and 12 volt the web site is wrong

I'll be posting a lot of stuff on little bits and pieces as I go through this coach were just getting some traction on. I'm mostly trying to work stuff into existing threads on the same topic or close to it. My rear aux flood lights for back up are toast and I'm pretty sure they are just standard aux driving lights. Should I replace with what is there or any suggestions on LED or anything brighter. I'm guessing run of the mill standard lights are good enough for that purpose but will check here since I'm a newbie at all this. Also, has anyone ever upgraded their roof top spot light ? It works ok but I sure wouldn't mind having twice the light if it didn't mean having to run a new control cable to the joy stick. Also, the aux driving lights in the bumper.........same thing. I think those are mostly so people can see you (fog,etc) but on an empty country road I would love to light that sucker up as bright as possible when no traffic is coming. What about installing another set on the roof pointed way out front. The ones down below aren't going to give me to view I'm after. Too low to the ground.

As long as I'm on lighting, what's the latest recommendation and preferred type/brand/kit,etc for the cool colored lights underneath the bus ? And how is clearance addressed ? The style I saw for cars (years ago now) were actual Neon I recall. In a plastic case or covered with acrylic or plastic if you to protect from rocks. Does one carve out a channel in the foam underneath to give it a little help ? Cost ? Reliable ? The fun factor is worth it for us depending on how many thumbs down maintenance stories come back.

Thanks in advance.

Mark, I recommend a sealed beam style light for backup. Lights that use individual lamps get too "cruded" up too easily and loose their brightness.

Careful on having extra headlights, there are laws stating the amount allowed. I'm thinking your already maxed out.
