T15 light fixture replacement

I am looking for options on replacing this light fixture. Pretty sure the ballast is out on it. Was hoping to switch the whole fixture by replacing it with an led fixture. Not sure where to begin looking for a replacement for it. ThanksClick image for larger version

Thin-lite makes a LED replacement for the 746. From what I can tell it should be a direct replacement for the CFL version:

If the rest of the fixture is ok, the bulbs can be replaced with LED, the ballast is removed or bypassed. I used bulbs from M4Products.com

I simply removed the ballast and spliced in LED lights on mine a couple of years ago using this style LED strip panels https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RP64SF3/

I just converted all of mine to led bulbs, the ballast are still good, bulbs were burnt. You are welcome to the ballast if you want them.

On my 07 Itasca Horizon, I replaced most interior lights with LED. A couple of the fluorescent I got LED bulbs at a CW. I think there were about a dozen different bulb bases in the thing.

As others have done, I gutted all my florescent circuitry and replaced it all with LED. If you boondock a lot, your house battery will appreciate the energy savings.

CLICK HERE regarding my experience with many details, cost, energy savings, and many pictures. It was also an opportunity to include a low energy night light (mood light) in each.

I wanted to also mention that the benefit in converting versus replacing, is that you don't see the original footprint in your ceiling along with old mounting screw holes.

Emphasizing....Adding an LED night light into each light fixture was exceptional. We enjoy having them all on to gently light up the entire cabin interior at the energy usage of less than one fully lit LED light.
