Interior halogen light pucks

[rheavn]

I'm looking for the 10 watt 3" light pucks used in 90s & 2000 vintage Newells. Anyone know the manufacturer? Anyone have a source? Anyone have some used ones after you replaced with leds?

Thanks in advance.......................

I'm gonna watch this one cause I need a lens for one of mine.

Would there be any chance that you could attach a photo & 110v or 12 v? Sometimes that jolts the old memory...

Are they like these? http://www.lightingfx.com/cat--3-inch-Recessed-Trims--1 or more like showcase lights?

Forest,
If I can come up with some lights I'll send you a ring. What finish do you need?

Jimmy,
None of those lights match. The ones I'm looking for are 12 volt & use a 10 watt two prong halogen bulb. I'll try taking a picture & posting.

Here are three pictures of the lights I am trying to match. #1 is of the complete light--#2 is the light with the lens cover removed--and the #3 is the back side of the lens cover.

I'll have to check mine but I think they are white.
Thanks

I put about 14 of them in my coach and I got them from Newell. Don't remember the cost but they were pricey.
I suspect that Tom would know where to them at a good price.

I'm in need of a few lenses....I was goin to try to make them....I'm also looking for an LED type bulb to fit these fixtures.

Steve,

I bought a couple of them from Newell last year: $40 each! Ouch!

Count the number of these lights in your coach and you can see why a new Newell sells for $1.5MM

That little 625 hp Catapillar or Cummins adds a little to the cost also.

[folivier]

I bought a couple LED bulbs last year to try out. I'll see tomorrow if I can figure out where I got them.

[afrench45]

If memory serves correctly, I believe I bought some like these at Home Depot or Lowes for my last coach. Not positive though!

[HoosierDaddy]

Here's some similar for anyone having to replace whole unit.

That sure looks like them! I'm going to remeasure mine & order one if they're the same. I'll let you know.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RussWhite]

Mine are held in with 3 screws. The description said something about metal tabs. Let us know your experience. Also, mine are gold in color.

Way to go Jimmy! I ordered from the link you provided and the puck lights are almost a perfect match. The covers are a different style, but attach exactly the same. The covers are a smooth beige--actually quite attractive if you don't have to match other existing lights or are doing a redecorate. The puck is shaped exactly the same including the screw holes that line up. The only difference is the puck is beige and has two metal tabs that help keep the light tight. Installation was easy. Splice in the two wires & push up in the existing hole while lining up the screw holes. I bent the tabs in as much as possible. The fit was so tight it was hard to push up & fit so tight one wouldn't have to use the screws. The problem may come that one might have to destroy it to get it out again. Because of this I will remove the tabs on the next one I install. I put the old cover on the new puck & it fit perfectly and installation was complete. Not bad for an $8 light+shipping that includes the bulb--haven't verified it, but others report Newell sells the lights for about $40.

Hope this helps someone else..................

[RussWhite]

Steve, Thanks for the followup and the tip on the tabs. I am going to order a couple for spares before they disappear.

Russ,
You've helped me a lot so I'm glad I was able to help you. Your thanks should go to Jimmy though as it was his eagle eye that made the find!

[RussWhite]

Steve is so right. Thanks Jimmy - lights are ordered. Now I will never need one:)

Russ

[jwe648]

Not a problem.. This is exactly why this forum is so important to all us Newell Owners, no matter the age of the Coach.. & the price seemed right!
Regards...

ok, now i might need a couple of these. the link is dead. russ or steve can you give me the model number of the lights you got?

also, has anyone tried LED's in these G4 fixtures? if so, which ones work the best? steve said his bulbs were 10 watt. i measured the current in mine and it was 1.6a so about 20watts. i did take it out of one of the bigger round lights and not the 3" but i was assumming they were the same. are they?

i have 70 of these lights in my coach. i had to count twice to make sure i wasnt double counting.

i would like to replace them with led's. that is alot of power....

thanks

tom

[chockwald]

Wow Tom, that is a lot of amps if you have all 70 on!!! Some major LED conversion about to happen!

[folivier]

Tom, if you just need the led bulbs and they are G4 side-pin mounts, I just bought 14 from ebay fresh from Hong Kong, item #320785391401 for about $2 each. But I won't get them until after Thanksgiving so don't know what quality. I had previously tried a 6 led bulb which wasn't quite as bright as the halogens so hopefully these will be as good or a little brighter.

70????:o

[RussWhite]

Tom,

Here is a currrent link to the product I ordered. I do notice the item is now out of stock. Glad I ordered a couple when they were still available.

i took out a bulb from the 3" fixtures and they were drawing .9a or about 10 watts. so it appears there is a mixture of 10w and 20w bulbs in my different size fixtures.

thanks

Just bought one from Newell last week. They are made by "Hella" and are $33. I needed some lenses, but they are not sold seperately. The lenses are actually glued into the cover. The curreent ones are a little different now too, but still come in chrome or white.

Just got the G4 LEDs from Hong Kong and installed them. They are 9 LEDs per bulb and a little brighter than the 6 LED I got previously. One thing is the pin spacing was greater than the halogens but a lil' field adjustment and they fit fine. Cindy and I like the light output. And I installed the LED from www.superbrightled.com for the yard light and like it. So now all of the interior lights are LEDs and it's nice to see the amp gauge barely move when all are on.

[encantotom]

hi forest. today i got 4 24 led G4's. they are not as bright so i need to keep looking. they draw about 900ma. i need brighter ones.

can you send me the info on the ones that you just got and like?

thanks

tom

[folivier]

These are the ones I got:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320785391401?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

They are bright enough for us without putting out any glare. The pin spacing is greater than the G4 halogens but I just bent to fit and they work fine. The listing says 9 of 5050 leds and 70-80 lumens.
Good luck.

[rheavn]

Tom,
The link that Russ White gave you did say out of stock. It now says to call for limited availability. If you need some they may still have them. The fixture matches exactly. Just need to put your cover on it as the covers are different.

They were really trying to light up your coach with 70 light fixtures. Mine only has 35.

Hope this helps.......................

Those halogen lights are available at building and lighting stores. I have a few black one somewhere in my inventory. They are 12vdc lights but I think Newell ran them on a transformer (110vac-12vac).
