LED ceiling light help

The bulb strip is burn out on one of my lights. I cannot find the same unit nor just the bulb anywhere. Attached are the pictures I don't have a make or model on the unit but I did have a part number for the bull strip but no joy finding it. Anyone had to replace one before without having to mix match?

I have a similar unit, I plan to un-solder the existing LED lights and add my own section of LED lights. I connected the LED strip to the existing positive and negative connections and the strip light up. The strip is not expensive and you will be able to fix many lights as they go bad.

Easy fix, remove and solder new LED light.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/10x-High-Po...1XkJVw&vxp=mtr is what I would use.

Lots of basic solder videos on youtube to learn how to do it. It isn't hard and even I can do it. You can get a soldering iron for about $5 from Harbor Freight.

Ceiling lights

Hello, I had the same problem and found these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're the same size, but the white bezels are a little more white then the originals. The mounting holes are in a different spot too. I have the replacements for awhile now, and they have been working great. Hope this helps - Joe

Trance --

How bright are these LEDs? I purchased some disk-shaped LEDs that directly plug into the 921-style sockets in the ceiling lights and found them to be much dimmer than the automobile 921 lights originally there. Found some very bright automotive lights that work but are something like $15 per fixture.

These are what I have and they're not bright enough. Only 24 LEDs per disk so I imagine the 48 LED panels are better.

I have the exact same fixtures in our 2016 2304KS the fixture that I added in front of the medicine cabinet was purchased from F R early in 2016. The L E D'sfailed last year, so I replaced the L E D's with my own peal and stick mounted L E D's, as Mac did. However, my replacements were White and not the softer yellow like the original. My wife didn't like the look. After trying to source them on line, Camping World and a local RV store, I found exact replacements at an RV salvage yard, just down the road a bit from the Goshen fair grounds, when we were at the FROG rally in August. $7.00 each. I purchased 4 of them. Replaced the bathroom fixture, added one over the control board at the entry door and will add the other 2 to the bottom of the cabinets next to the Murphy bed.
I wish I had bought more, just for spares.
So, I guess if you are near Indiana, that would be the place to go.

Try contacting Kelli Bonnema at Command Electronics. She was a great help for my lighting. Tell her Dave Jones sent you, (might cost you more )

I had the same lights fail me. I replace six ceiling ligths with AutoEC LED Dome Light, 2 Color Mode 12V LED RV Ceiling Dome Light Fixture. Three on the ceiling in the living room. I like my new lights because they are both white & warm.

Pry up on the side notches.

Exactly as mentioned above... unsolder old LED and solder in what you want. I even removed an LED that needed a little more light output.
Agree that finding exact replacement fixtures and some LED light bulbs only available with that fixture.

I'm not seeing any need for replacing the fixtures as long as I can find 921-pin LEDs that are bright enough. The 48 diode versions should be here soon and I'll try them. Enough diode sets to replace all my 921 bulbs for less than the price of a replacement fixture.

Did you look on Amazon?

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=LED+repla...f=nb_sb_noss_2

I replaced every single bulb (18!) in our old motor home (2013 Thor Chateau), for less than $20 (swapped the old ones for LEDs).

Hope this helps & good luck!

There are some fixture makers who think everything should be proprietary and throw away. In that case take the fixture and decide what LED you want and do some solder work. LED fixtures should all be designed to allow bulb to be changed instead of replacing the whole fixture.
