Fluorescent light failure and melted housing

Gophoenix, those are the lights we have in our 2011 2552 as well. I wonder if a person could replace the fluorescent tubes with the LED kits and still have the dome light in it as well? I think for our use it might be as close to perfect as I could expect.

They probably could be replaced. But we always stay at campground with electric, so wouldn't consider the expense of switching out the florescent lights - they work well for us as is.   

I need to figure out how many watts the fourescent tubes and starter use. From there I can look at maybe buying a roll of strip led and go from there. It's offered in diff watts per foot. Should be fun experimenting.

The original twin bulb fluorescent fixtures in our 2007 rig, I had taken one un-tampered fixture into the lab here at work where an electrical engineer measured the power to be 9 watts.  My LED conversion dropped the power down to 6 watts, but the light output is way too much.  I think I can cut the wattage in half again to 3 watts when reducing the brightness by disabling every-other 3-LED circuit.  3 watts per fixture would be real nice to achieve.  But the right brightness takes priority over power savings.

Ron, agreed. I found several places that sell LED strip lighting in 16 foot length. You can buy it in different wattage outputs per foot. Based on your findings I have a starting point.
