LED interior dimming light bars

[Wandering Sagebrush]

I met a new member the other day, and they told me that FWC is now using dimming LED bars instead of more traditional fixtures. Does anyone have more information on these lights? They sound like a great addition to any RV or Boat...

Thanks in advance,

WS

When I picked up my new camper last month I was happily surprised by the FWC upgrade to these new lights.
There are four about 12” long and white in color.

I’ll try to post a picture or two of them. Here is what I found on the web.

Thanks... looks like these are 24VDC, so they’re ruled out in the Bobcat.

I’m sure FWC is using a 12VDC version. When I get a moment, I’ll pop off one of the lights from the mounting clips and see if I can find a part/ model number.

Thank you!

I am strictly 12V in my new 2018 Grandby Shell. I wish they had put in 4, would like one in the pasenger side rear quadrant. My Shell has 3. They put 2 upfront & one over the driver side rear quadrant (galley). I like the strips, Time will tell if they hold up well.

I did not find a part number L23-0121-19

There are LED light bars beginning with L23-xxxx (ie.g on pg 79) as well as a lot of other lighting models.

I’m wondering if this is the replacement part number for
L23-0121-19....now WP09-0108?
It’s the only dimming led light bar I could find in the Kapper II catalog.
They do have that model on amazon though. I like the idea of these lights for my camper build.

Thanks Craig.

A few minutes ago I called the 800 number on the Kaper II web site to ask why we don't see the L23-0121-19 online or in the catalog.

The guy didn't know but said he has 500 of them in stock and I could order one from them (I thought they might be OEM or large-quantity only). Price would be $63.72 each plus shipping.

I also asked if there's a warm-white version and he said no, there's not.

If anyone has time to post a closeup photo of one, that would be great (since we can't see them online).

I'm not planning to order as I'm happy with my current lights but if anyone orders (or has problems ordering) please post.

I guess the next question is what kind of challenges are there in swapping out the older-style fixtures for these dimmable LED lights.



(Thanks for the part number, Crickert!)

One of these days I figure out the photo thing. Until then you can find pictures here...

Thanks, Crickert! It's very helpful to see the switch, the wire-connector, the mounting clips, etc.

And thanks for the shot with the measuring tape...they're longer than I envisioned.

I see wire-in but no wire-out so I assume they aren't daisy-chained.

It's interesting to think about what the wire run must be in the ceiling and how those of us with two ceiling fixtures might convert to them (if interested).

Hopefully they'll show up somewhere online with detailed specs (like draw, operating temperature range, IP rating, etc)

As Crickert mentioned, the other photos can be seen in the album... http://www.wanderthewest.com/forum/gallery/album/1203-2018-hawk-flatbed/

So my 2016 seems to have the same light bar, just without the dimming bit. It would be great to add the dimmer as the current lights would be great for brain surgery, but are a little much for chilaxin with a brewski. It would also be nice to find something with a warmer color.

My LED light has burnt out. Is there a way of replacing the ‘light strip’ or does the contained unit need to be replaced?

Thanks for any help!

I have a Fleet 2020 - and the dimmer lights in the unit have started to go (only 1 of 3 left). Planning a last camping trip this month and hoping to figure this out for the trip.

Resolved:
Phoned kaperri and the model is no longer being made. And no - was not made for LED strip to be replaceable.

Phoned 4WC and they are sending me the cabinet lights they are now using. The power supply won’t need updating but the attachment is different - sounds like just screwed in directly.
