I am looking to replace the inside lights to LED. My small lights in the in the Ceiling do not have numbers on them so I do not know what to cross reference them with for LED bulbs. I took out a couple of the bulbs above the sinks and they do not have numbers either so I have the same problem. So I am asking what LED bulbs you guys are installing?

Might be helpful if you took a few photos of the light fixtures and the bulbs.

In mine, I replaced the entire fixture for the small round spot lights under the cabinets with these:

For the flourescent lights, I did the work to remove the guts of them and simply put some LED strip lights inside them instead. I didn't bother trying to stay with the same fixture setup as they are kinda nitche.

Instead I just wired in these:

As a side note, I ran a new wiring to the other side of the stove from the light fixture above the sink. I then added one of these LED strips to the other side which turns on with the sink light. What a difference. Lights up the whole counter really nicely now and sidelights the stove from both sides.

As another sidenote, I also took those LED strips and placed them around the engine bay walls and hooked up a little flasher controller on two different circuits. I park at time in pack rat territory, and they hate flashing lights. So far, I have not had any damage to engine wiring with these running all the time. Probably looks a little cool when I'm driving at night light like my engine sending out sparks. Pack rat rewiring is very expensive. These are cheap.

Is each puck lite 240 lumens or is that the lumes for 8 fixtures. 30 lumens is nothing?
Thanks

Here is what I believe I put in all my puck lights back in 2019. All work flawlessly and Superbright has excellent customer service. I called and they walked me through the best choices.

Good luck!

Each puck is 240. They are just as bright as the ones I replaced. I also like the look a little better than the original pucks...more modern.

Great Links and information Greg. I am going to give the pucks a try and check out the fluorescent tube replacements.

I recently changed out all of the 110 bulbs in my garage to 110 volt replacement fluorescent bulbs. Very easy job and finding a mix match of ballasts and tubes made the decision even easier. The lights are very bright and give off little heat. The energy savings should be substantial.

I have had led's in the puck lights for many years now with no failures. Now to find a decent fixture to change out the bedroom sconces over the head of the bed. Nothing I have looked at seems to be what I need. Maybe it is time to look at installing something new and dimmable??? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Here is a picture of the lights I am talking about.

Mit12,

in post #4, I gave you the link to an LED that will work to replace the bottom bulb in your photo. I know they don’t look the same but they work fine and fit well in the puck light. I have a different kitchen although a sister coach to yours, so the puck lights are identical. The top bulb in your picture is a standard 194 bulb. I have a different kitchen and my coach doesn’t use any 194 bulbs in the interior.

Again, I’d either head to a place like batteries plus or call a reputable supplier and they’ll steer you to what you need depending on the application.

Super bright did well by me.
