Halogen light bulbs?

[LD Humphreys]

Does anyone know where I can purchase Halogen Light Bulbs (12 Volt 10W CE) that are located in the round, glass ceiling fixtures throughout our 2012 Holday Rambler - Ambassador? We have looked everywhere.

Also, consider the LED replacements. Left both kinds on for several hours, the other day. Took my IR thermometer and shot the temp on both. The LED's were at about 85 degrees. The halogen's were at about 160 degrees! If you try the LED's, don't buy a bunch until you try and like a particular lamp. We like the 3000 to 3400 degree lamps with 12 LED's on them. Not too yellow, and not too white. Be sure to look for them with a voltage rating considerably above 14 volts. Ours are something like 9 to 27 volts. So far, so good. Got them at the Yuma outdoor flea.

PS: I had to type in the link above to get it to work. For some reason when I clicked on the link, it added some text that made it not work.

I'd have to agree going the LED route versus the halogen.

I haven't changed out any of the halogen light bulbs to LED yet but the pricing has come down to make it worthwhile. If I were having to change out bulbs I'd consider going the LED rout.

We have the same type of puck light under all the hanging wall cabinets. The reality is we don't use them that much. We use the ones over the bed more, they are dimmable but normally my wife or I don't want the lights on at the same time so I've added a small round toggle switch to each light so we each can control if we want the light on. We still have to use the dimmer ON/Off switch to control but it seems to work pretty well with the individual toggle.

If you had only been 4 weeks earlier in your post. I am pretty sure I just tossed all fo the ones I took out and replaced with LED. If I find them today by chance, they are yours (pretty sure I tossed them though).

The LED's put out way less heat, take less energy. I am really happy with them.

HERE is a web site where you can purchase LED bulbs at three different color temperatures depending on your specific preferences.

I prefer the warm white ones.

Possibly these are not the same bulbs you are looking for though.

We dumped all of ours for LED replacement but if believe the Halogen lamps are available at Lowes and Home Depot. Take one with you and look in the outdoor lighting section.

I replaced 27 halogen bulbs with LEDs, a great move if you do any dry camping or if you leave the halogen lights on for any length of time. After 30 sec you can leave some skin on the glass and with LEDs they can stay on all day long and they may be warm.

Thank you so much for the information!

[LD Humphreys]

Thank you. I did that. They offer a smaller size bulb only.

I believe the problem that I have finding the proper bulb(s) resides in the type. My owners manual list the proper bulb as: Halogen 12 Volt 10W CE.

Yes, I have found many locations to purchase Halogen 12 Volt 10W bulbs, however all have the G4 (Smaller) type base.

As stated in my first post, the replacement bulbs that I need have the CE (larger) base.

I am interested in converting over to LED Bulbs as most of you have suggested, however, I first need to locate the proper type so that I can find the correct LED replacement bulb.

I truly appreciate all of the replies and your willingness to help me.

Are these dimmable?
