Can anyone recommend a decent aftermarket lighting wr can install or change out.

Thanks in advance!

For interior cabin lighting, you can switch out the bulbs with LED replacements.

Or am I mis-understanding your post, and you want to replace the fixtures as well?

Your right I'm just curious if anyone had any success with a good aftermarket brand. My wife wants it a little bit more white vs. The stock yellowish tint is really soft white we have now.

FWIW - The cabin on my 2022 33RBTS is lit up like a stadium if you don't turn off some of the individual light fixtures. I am currently looking for some diffusing film that I used on a previous camper to dim some of the bright light.

Our 2021 30z is lit up like a stadium as well. We primarily use the ambient LED lighting under the counter and around the slide. I did replace the puck lights over the dinette with pendant lights, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 A much nicer, finished look and it's a warm white, which we prefer over the surgical white lights. Adding diffusion to the puck lights is a good idea as well.

Mine went from yellow to bright white after my cataract surgery.




But, it was admittedly a lot more expensive than just switching out the bulbs.

Seriously, the Puck Lights are one unit, there's no bulb in there to replace. I did rewire one, so it's possible to 'swap the LED' but I wouldn't do it again. I'd just replace the entire puck.

My '16 31FK has more pucks that bulbs so it would be an expensive proposition -- for me.

Not that it would matter to the OP, and many others, but somewhere between my year model and yours they changed the lights. My puck lights have a removable glass and replaceable bulbs inside that were at one time incandescent but have been LED for sometime now. I did the replacement but that was many years back. ~CA

I have a '14 31FS and i swapped all of the bulbs from incandescent to LED by popping off the lens covers. In doing so I was able to adjust the brightness at the same time. After the switch my rear bedroom has a yellow tint, and all up front is more white.

My unit came with loads of intense bright white LED puck lights. I learned from another poster that there is vinyl tint film you can buy in assorted colors on amazon,and then cut them to fit inside the puck light. I was thinking about painting/tinting the plastic puck cover, maybe just on the inside, for the areas that are too bright. Currently I am fashioning little lamp shades for my dinette that will fit over the puck light, to diffuse the light and add some character.

On my 2022 28.5 rsts you can dim all of the cabin led lights. Not sure if you have that option?

[29FOOTERJAYCO]

Yea I finally got a chance to look and it's rhe pucks. Looks like I'll have to find a deal on 20+ pucks ��

I don't but just purchased a dimmer compatible with LED lights and I am going to wire it in to the main cabin lighting circuit. Thank you for the idea...

If you're handy with a soldering iron, one option would be to cut off the leads to the existing LED and then just wire in a new socket and bulb.

I bought 921 style LED bulbs and sockets off eBay a few years ago.


It ended up being $2 a light, instead of $20-$30 for each new puck.

I just downsized from a 34' tt that had all overheads with a button in the middle so ypu could turn any of them off. My Starcraft 24' has all overrhead led's on when the main switch is on. I was going to look for some "toned down" lights I could add to some empty wall space but a dimmer might be the way. What did you use? I have a rocker switch that turns on almost all the overhead lights and they are way too bright.

Mine has so many puck lights I thought we were going to be landing planes there. Put a couple dimable reading lights over the bed that are awesome that we got on Amazon.

Yes change out the bulbs with LED's but make sure you understand the color spectrum before you order.
It will tell you what color the light will be
