Excel Winslow Light Bulbs

Is there an online list of light bulb sizes and specs for Excel Winslow?

It's probably in the giant packet I received last Friday with the trailer, but have not completely plowed through.

I'm considering replacing some with LEDs.

it's probably not in your packet......it wasn't in mine. the round halogen ceiling lamps take the same bulbs as 12v landscape lighting. 20w, G4 base T3 shape. the 2 little prongs are an SOB to line up to insert and use a tissue to hold the bulb so oil off your hand doesn't contaminate the glass. be ready to put your bifocals on upside down so you can see the little holes. lowes has these bulbs.....don't know if there are LED replacements. might have to replace fixture ??? btw...lens pulls straight down. get your fingers under edges, pull and try not to drop it when it pops out.....mjf.

I bought the Halogen G4 LED replacements on Ebay for $2.08 each with no tax or shipping. Has been over a year with no problems.

Here is a link to the topic last summer.

http://www.irv2.com/forums/f116/10-w...lb-123558.html

I ordered what is in post 11. I like them for in the hallway and bathroom. I do not like them in the living room or bedroom. They do not seem to be as bright as the halogen that I replace. This fall I went and replace 4 of the lights in the living room with Halogen and I'm happy.

1156 bulb......As they burn out.....I replace with 1156LL (Long Life)....I keep 4 on hand. Get them in the automotive section at Wally World or CW....the price is just about the same....within pennies.

If too many burn out within a give period of time.........I just trade the rig in........... moving up each time....ain't there anything fancier than a Limited? rockin'

Are they in the ceiling? If so they are most likely these bulbs. If not you'll just have to look.

The only thing fancier than a Limited is my tricked out Winslow.

Thanks for the 1156LL tip.

Hope to see you at the campground.....

Rick,

Thanks for the update......I was just going by what is in mine. The 1076 is a double base contact and the 1156 is one contact. Both are still a single filament bulb. rockin'

I bought them off ebay and they came from china 26- G4's warm LED's for $49.00 (ceiling lights) Very happy with these.

Seller: bestnbestonline

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Warm-White-G4...ht_2070wt_1168
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10,12V 36-LED WHITE Car 1076 1130 1158 1178 Bulb BA15D | eBay

I have had a few of these fail and they don't like higher voltages when charger is charging at 15 volts. Would look at something else in the 1076's. Also, very white light would go with the warm color next time.
(over Island)

seller: leemoom611

Rick, I think Tom's putting them on the edges of the rig now. Something about he wanted to be ready for Christmas. Light that Limited up like a Christmas tree.
