12v issues

[VFL1985]

Hello all,

I recently bought a 07 Jay flight 27bh. I'm a newbie on trailer camping. I'm wanting to upgrade my interior lights to LED. Has anyone had good or bad experience with the brands off amazon. Any input is appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum.


I can't help with your question, but I'm sure others will be along shortly with something for you.

I used these in my travel trailer. I converted ALL lights to LED using a variation of these panels.

Not exactly cheap, but they're the right brightness, and they're the right color. I bought a few of them at a time over the course of about 2 years before I finally had all my fixtures converted.

Look up the replacement for the incandescent bulb and then you can pic how much you want to spend. I have had good luck with them.

Here are some that I have ordered.

You can replace just the bulb's with LED ones or you can replace the whole fixture.
I have had good luck with both from Super Bright LED's.

From another thread that I posted the following....

I have tried purchasing LED's starting 5 years ago. I started with the made in China models, CHEAP and performed like they were cheap. Individual LED's started dying one by one. I tried many on Amazon and unfortunately the did not come close to the specified Kelvin range (color), most were not bright enough. On purchase from Amazon, I received the SAME LED that I purchased from China. The bulbs all seemed to be in the 300 Lumens, way to dim. Most of the LED's did not have a Lumen rating but said Bright or Very bright. DW hated them.

I found a site that SO FAR (3 years and going strong) meet my requirements. They list the EXACT (as much as you can specify a LED) Kelvin (Color), and they have the Lumens listed with the bulb also. I purchased 1 (natural light) and 1 (cool white) rated between 900 and 1100 Lumens which is equivalent to about a 75+ watt bulb. After testing them (DW approval) I purchased 8 for the living area and 4 Cool White LEDs for the bathroom (Excellent choice per DW), nice and bright for shaving and doing the hair. I also purchased 2 Cool white LEDs for the light above the sink, which DW is very happy with. With 8 in the living area, it is plenty bright for us. They stay on all day and into the night (powered by the Sun of course). They will cost you a little more for each bulb, 10 bulbs gets you a discount.

They include an adapter for each type of socket.

Thanks for the link finally some that look like they will actually work vs the cheap junk you just keep putting in new ones...

In our 16 Eagle it came with all LED lighting. Knock on wood there still all working.Do not know where Jayco acquired them!3 years so far so good. Thanks

Get a quote for parts from your local dealer. May not be as much as you think and you can see them in a current model

Save yourself some aggravation and replace the whole fixture. I used these in my last trailer. You will not find a brighter light.
