Today I installed a coach full of G4.RV3N-Flex LED bulbs from prudentrver.com. They are rated at 200 lumen, warm white color with a G4 connector on about 50mm leads. They consume ~0.2 amps, easily surpass the light output of the 10w halogen bulbs in my puck light fixtures and seem to be nearly the same light output as the 20 watt halogen bulbs I also tested in those puck light fixtures. They are about the same diameter as the glass lenses on the fixtures so the emitter board stays centered without any mechanical fasteners. I just yanked out the cast pop metal heat sink for the halogens that also serves as the reflector and they were an easy, quick fit. Color temperature appears to be nearly identical to the halogens. They are Buck driven with voltage regulated over a range up to 30 or so volts according to the vendor web site so should outlast the coach and handle well the widely variable dc voltage they will see in real world coach use. I have tried different LEDs fro
m a variety of internet sources and these are far better and much brighter than any I have seen to date. Unit cost was $18 with free shipping. They exceeded my expectations and I can highly recommend them if you have puck lights with G4 bulb connectors in your GMC.
