Light above sofa

I have a Georgetown 378. We have a sofa and chair next to each other with 3 lights above them. One of the lights are out and I've taken the bad one out but I don't see any lettering on it to indicate what kind of lamp it is. It's distinguishing feature is two prongs that get seated into its holder. I bought a 2040 but that can't be it because its prongs are wrapped in glass.

You might try removing one of the good bulbs and see if you can read the number. I went into the same problem when I needed to replace a bulb but couldn't tell what size. I called the service department after I couldn't find it in the paperwork. In my case it was a 921 bulb but I have a travel trailer.

Ok, I may try that. It isn't one the one that is bad.

Take the bulb to Walmart and match it up. It's 12 volts and will be around the area where the automotive bulbs are. Chances are it is the 921 as Terier stated.

I have the same light setup on my 347. 3 lights mounted unter the cabinet over the couch. I recently replaced them all with led bulbs. They last longer, give same lumen value and don't give off any heat to speak of.
I don't know the number of the original incandescents, but the leds are G4. They are a little pricey ( $12-13 a piece). I bought mine from prudetrver.com. At the time, they had the best price. However There may be some cheaper options out there
Hope this helps
