LEDs

Do LEDs fit in any fixture? We bought some for our TT and they were super expensive so are thinking about removing them and installing them in our new FW. We do have the new bulbs that came with the new TT.

Any advice appreciated!

I suppose it depends on the 5er you bought. Our 2015 Rockwood Signature UtraLight built in May 2014 has LEDs everywhere except the range hood, table lamp between the recliners and the two outdoor floods. FR also did an excellent job picking a good warm-white colour temperature.

We are hoping for a FR Wildcat 293, maybe I should post on the Wildcat forum? Thanks for your advice!

everyone will see this no matter where you post this. I'm sure most people go to "todays posts" and not a specific category. Anyhow, I used these and love them

Actually, what I am trying to ask is: can I take these LEDs out of our TT and expect them to fit in our future FW?

Thanks!

I'm sure the answer is no. I'm sure the led's you bought were 'bulb' replacements and the fixtures for your new camper would be designed around the led.

Maybe you can, maybe you can't. Are the fixtures the same? Lots of different base styles. You won't know until you take the light cover off and examine the bulb. If you have the old filament bulbs put them back in your old TT and take your chances that you can use the LED's you took out. If you looked at the link Dave put up you can see all the different styles so it's pot luck.

Our campers all have basically the same 3 base light configuration....T10....1056....or G4. Just open the fixture and see what kind it takes. The biggest problem is getting the right brightness.

If you are trading in, I would pull them, if selling I would leave in and note it as a selling point. As stated most of the new led fixtures are either T10(wedge) or G4(2pin). The 1056(automotive) base bulbs are mostly used in incandescent fixtures and have been used less in the past few years. Most of the pancake lights are the T10s now, at least all of mine are (2012 Sierra)

I do have 1 wall sconce that is a 1056 base, though. And they replace it with an led in Goshen.

My Salem Cruise Lite appears to be all 921 bulbs. So as stated yopu may or may not be able to use them in your new trailer. We are upgrading our trailer. The new Flagstaff comes with LED lighting.

If they can't fit I'm sure someone will buy them off you so you could recoup some of the money. If they don't fit look at ebay and amazon you can get all different kinds on both. Got most of mine off ebay and got 20 for $20 you just have to wait for them to come.
