One small issue is the surface light. It is a 50w G8 halogen with a low Kelvin temp 2950. I've tried to find a G8 LED replacement but it needs to be dimmable and fit the base. I did find 20w G8 xenon bulb 3000k which is better but not as white as the coach LEDs.

Robert, DW says if you use the metal pan and use broil you toast both sides at once. Noel

Don't remember how long ago it was that the DW saw an Advantium demo at an FMCA rally. Since then she won't have anything else in a MH. Special order in both our Dutch Stars and luckily the Magna came that way!!
Gotta keep her happy!!!!!!!!!!

Swenster how are you liking your Whirlpool Gold? I'm strongly considering installing one. Was the install straight foward? Any cabinet modifications?

My GE takes a G8 lamp too, I just ordered one of these in warm white (3000K-3500K). It will be a few weeks before it arrives so can't tell you yet how well it works. Cheap enough experiment. If you want bright white order the "pure white" color in the listing. My primary goal of switching to LED is to reduce the power consumption.
