In the picture, the new one is on the left with the part number sticker.

Can you please provide a link? I can't read those part numbers.

Unfortunately I’m away from the coach for the next week but I didn’t keep any of the papers or materials from Newmar anyway.

I don’t have a link as Newmar sent the new lights directly. I looked at the sticker again photo again and I’m not sure if it actually has any kind of part number that would be something you could research or order online.

I recommend calling Newmar as they will obviously have the details.

I added some of these LEDs on a strip lights also. They were what I think is pretty inexpensive (and probably cheap too), but I've had good luck with them so far and prefer the soft indirect light (due to where I placed them, hidden in the upper lip of the slide outs, very close to the ceiling) to the puck and spot lights for watching TV and mood lighting. These do have their own 120v dimmer power supply that probably saves them from the MoHo house 12v DC issues discussed in this thread.
