Upgrade to LED lighting

[blueskys4ever]

Hello to all,

I had one of the overhead center lights ballast go bad, back by the sink/mirror in my G7. Instead of hunting down a ballast, I decided to convert the original lamp housings to LED. This was easier than I thought.
I purchased a super-bright LED strip at Fry's Electronics, but these can be had from many places for about 20 dollars. I removed the fluorescent bulbs and housing from the coach ceiling and stripped out the ballast and terminals. Then I simply attached the 2 each glued strip to the lamp and attached it back to the ceiling. After hooking the wires back, I flipped the switch and boom, a very bright light that draws very little power.

Has anyone done the same for the mood lighting on the G7?

Yes, but I changed the whole fixture to residential and converted to 12v led. Then used strip led on the side casting out words and covered with prismatic lens for indirect lighting

I have a fluorescent light in the bedroom that quit working just when we got home from our two month trip. I installed two new tubes, but it still does not work, so I guess it must be the ballast. I tried to drop the fixture down but it is in there solid. I removed four corner screws and it is still being held by more screws I guess.
It has a medal cover on the center of the fixture held by one rivet on the corner. I believe under this cover there must be some more screws holding the fixture in place. I backed off when I saw the rivet, I felt like I would probably be doing more damage then good.

So I guess I will end up taking it to an RV shop to get a professional to work on it. $$$$$

Good news to report on my fluorescent light. All it was, was a lose connection going to the ballast. All is working now.:D
