Recent conversion of light fixtures to LED
I began a project back before last Christmas (2017) and with fits and starts, delay and interruptions I have now completed what I started out to accomplish, the total conversion of all light fixtures, florescent and incandescent to LEDs.

Part of the process was determining a supplier for the materials. Since I had long had on hand a kit of 18" 'strip lights' I started there. It wasn't long before I discovered that strip lights were NOT the way to go. One of the input connections broke, a wire of such small gauge that even I hesitated to make a repair even though I've spent years with a soldering pencil in my hands.  :(  I had to order another kit just to finish that one fixture.

Enter M4 Products! The remaining six fluorescents and ten incandescents were converted to LED with the materials purchased from this fine company. Yes, they are a bit more pricy but the convenience was worth every cent. I particularly like their 'Tube Lights'.  Check out the web-site for tons of information.

I still have an aftermarket 12" fluorescent and the four lower exterior marker lights on my to-do list but that's nearly a done deal.  ;)

I second M4 Products.  I'm in the middle of doing the same upgrade.  The tube lights are great and I especially like that I can choose from various tints.  The instructions included with them are spot on too.  If you are going to buy from them don't forget to view the install video. Towards the end is a code that when applied gives 5% discount.

I am also a big fan of M4.  Replaced every bulb in my 2003 RB with one of their products three years ago shortly after I bought my rig!  Boondock frequently and never have had an issue.  Power is supplied with 220 watts of solar and two 6v deep cycle batteries. LED's are the way to go....

We changed out almost all of the bulbs in our 2006 MB with M4 LEDs...my favorite light of the bunch has been the stove light...formerly a useless thing. 

The only 3 lights not changed (because we forgot about them) are the two bulbs in the cab over area and the night light in the kitchen. 

It was easily done and really a great improvement all round...and M4 added a "koozie" to each of the two orders...free and works great, too!  Shipping was spot on as advertised and they were very very helpful.
