Default They're up and lit!

I got the new fixtures installed.

The job took about 15 minutes each. There were no instructions with the new fixtures, I guess no one would read them anyway.

But I found a sticker on the inside of the fixture that said, among other things, wall mount only!. This sort of bummed me out since Camping World said these were under counter and/or dinette lights, not wall mount lights. I figured the problem would be heat. So I let them burn awhile (no pun intended) and gave them a touch.

YEOW!!

Then I said I bet none of the other lights are that hot. WRONG!! All of them were THAT HOT. So now I'm in the market for LEDs. All these 8 years of owning that trailer and never realized the lights got that blasted hot.

But they are right pretty, and put out the softer, even light that I had hoped for.

They are thicker/deeper that the OEM plastic lights. Therefore I can't put one in the bath area because it would conflict with the top of the toilet room door.

Now, where to get good, affordable LEDs?
