Has anyone used these as a replacement for halogens in their RV fixtures?

I have halogen fixtures in my RV but did not use these bulbs to replace them, because my wife wanted lights every bit as bright as halogens for her sink area. I went for bulbs that were multi-directional (like these) but a much higher lumen rating from camping world. Cost me about $17 for each bulb, and had to push the lens out of the recessed fixture to get the lid back on. They work great. I wouldn't use these to replace halogens if you need a lot of light. Spend the extra money and do it right. These bulbs are great for standard overhead lighting though.

I have had no problems fitting these into any light fixture in my trailer. Just make sure that the base is the same as bulb you are replacing.

The answer to this is that they are larger than a halogen. I'm also not certain that these would be what you're looking for in this type of application either being that I don't think they would produce the type of light that would be sufficient for under cabinet lighting. If it were me I would spend the money and replace the unit with an LED under cabinet system. These lights work great for outdoor path lighting but I couldn't imagine being bright enough for anything else. I am extremely satisfied with these lights.

I haven't seen anything regarding this but I would not hesitate to use them in an enclosed fixture. If memory serves they only draw about 1/2 watt so any heat buildup should be minimal.

Yes, I have it operating with metal halide bulbs for outside lighting. DO NOT USE FOR FLORESCENT

I use 500 w halogens. I tried swapping to these and it was night and day. These lights are no where near bright enough to bow fish with to me.

No. halogen bulbs have a different type of base than LED or incandescent bulbs.

You're welcome. I know this because the older models used 12v T4 50w bi-pin halogens, but I removed the reflector and replaced it with an MR16, and they work fine. I was thinking about LED but bought several MR 16 bulbs on sale.

I have used these bulbs as replacements for burned out bulbs in my motorhome. They work perfectly. Apologies, I am unable to help you with your problem. Good luck on finding an answer.

Yeah, we put LEDs though and they work great. Changing out burnt bulbs would be a pain so I would highly recommend a good LED.

No they work fine, installed them in flush mounted ceiling lights in our RV

Yes. I have two of these and I like them a lot. Great for rv reading lights

Absolutely. I replaced four halogen bulbs in a track light (Halo fixtures with individual transformers) with the Great Eagle bulbs.We replaced the old style flip switch with a new Lutron dimmer designed for compact flourescents and LED lights. We are very happy with the results.The output of the great eagle lights is "warmer" in color temperature than other LED lights, but acceptable - certainly for the price.

I am not sure that LED bulbs are interchangeable with Halogen - best check with manufacturer

I've used them with CFL and LED light sources, and I haven't had a problem. The sheets are plastic, so at some temperature they will melt.

I've used LEDS only and they been running perfectly for 6-7 months now. I recommend you check the ones made by Torchstar if you are talking about MR16s. Their new line of LEDs match halogen output as well as color. I posted a detail review with a bunch of pictures.

Yes to both questions... Haven't even had to replace bulbs yet... Over one year... Use constantly..
