LED or LED bulb

Postby Ron Dickey » Mon May 05, 2014 12:03 am

The LED is going to change just like the Florissant did.

Right now I am about to put in my LED lights but then I thought about the wiring and if I any burnt out or were bad I will need to change the whole unit.

The Old type lights with the bulb all have LED bulbs that you can buy and it they burn out just like the bulb pull it out and put in a new.

I realized that I will need to have extra wire inside the wall so if I have to cut anything, I may need extra wire.

or maybe it is better to put in plugs so if they go out you just unplug one and put in a new one.

What do you think??

I opted out of using connectors on my LED bulbs. I haven't had good luck with crimp on electrical connectors and decided to go with solder and heat shrink tubing. If the LED's burn out. I will just have to pull the unit out, cut the wire, splice and solder the new unit in and be done.

Hard wiring my LED's too. LED's have an extremely long lifespan and they'll probably outlast my trailer. :lol:

I used marine fixtures (look nicer built better and with a switch) that take a standard G4 bulb and a G4 array plugs right in.
