Updating our RV inside lights with modern LED fixtures. It's an easy DIY project that Joanie & I have been wanting to do for a long time & we’re finally getting around to it.
We’re going to cover removing the—old out dated RV light fixtures—and install new contemporary RV LED light fixtures. This is an easy DIY job and I’m sure there are many of you that have been wanting to do this too. I’m also going to cover the reasons why and the importance of changing out all you incandescent bulbs to LED’s. We changed out all our interior RV incandescent bulbs 4 years ago to LED’s. We had 5 different types of incandescent bulbs at the time with different types of bases. There were 78 interior bulbs total. We now draw a fraction of amps from our battery bay using our interior lights and LED's do not put out any heat into the RV.

LED BULB SUGGESTIONS
Like I said in the video. These light fixtures are beautiful but come with incandescent bulbs. So I thought I’d give you guys a couple of suggestions for some LED’s. We chose the first link for our LED bulbs. The LeMeng LED bulbs. Feel free to search for your own color tone if these two choices don’t work for you. Just make sure they are 921 LED bulbs.
• LeMeng LED 5W 500lm, 2700K Warm White. Pack of 6) - [ Ссылка ]
• LED 921 LED Lights Bulbs - Just choose the type of color you prefer. Either the warm light or the cool light option. You’ll have 3 to use in these new fixtures and 3 spares. (Pack of 6) - [ Ссылка ]
POWER TOOLS
I thought I’d add this screw gun, battery and charger just in case you’re just starting out and don’t have one yet or the one you currently have is a piece of junk like my previous one was. This DEWALT Drill / Driver Kit will be the most used tool you’ll have in your tool box. Every RVer needs one of these and this DEWALT is the best IMO. It’s light weight, but a beast. If you don’t have a complete set of drill bits just add the 21 piece Drill Bit Set for a few more dollars. It will be well worth it.
• DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill / Driver Kit, 1/2-Inch - [ Ссылка ]
• DEWALT Titanium Drill Bit Set, 21-Piece (this set will last you a long time) - [ Ссылка ]
OTHER TOOL ACCESSORIES I USED
• Center Punch Tool Set (a must have to keep your drills from wandering when drilling) - [ Ссылка ]

DISCLAIMER:
We are in no way experts or professional mechanics. But being a journeyman millwright for years & being EX Military, has proven to be very helpful in my lifetime learning how to care for & maintain all sorts of machinery & equipment like: helicopters, airplanes, tanks, motorcycles & many types of other vehicles. That, along with 18 months preparing & upgrading our RV before we went full time, & now traveling for several years has gained us a lot of knowledge. Regardless of what we recommend, consult a professional if you're unsure about working on your RV. Work you perform or products you purchase based on any information we provide is at your own risk.
