What 12 volt lights work for an RV interior?

The 12 volt lights for RV interior use in this collection run off your house battery, so they keep working when you are not plugged into shore power. The collection includes single and double dome ceiling fixtures, wall and reading lights, LED replacement bulbs, and replacement lens covers. Before ordering, check whether you are replacing the whole fixture or only the bulb or lens, and measure the existing fixture's footprint so the new one covers the same mounting holes.

Can I swap the incandescent 12 volt light bulbs in my RV interior for LED?

Yes, in most fixtures. Pull one of your existing 12 volt light bulbs and confirm the base type first. Interior RV fixtures commonly use 1141 or 1156 single-contact bayonet bulbs (BA15S) or 912/921 wedge bulbs. LED replacements draw a fraction of the amperage of incandescent bulbs, which stretches battery time when you are dry camping, and they run cooler, which reduces heat damage to plastic lenses. Some LED bulbs are polarity-sensitive. If a new bulb does not light, rotate it 180 degrees in the socket before assuming it is faulty. Also check that the LED bulb's length fits under the existing lens.

How do I choose a 12 volt LED ceiling light for my RV?

Start with the size and shape of the fixture you are replacing. A 12 volt LED ceiling light with a similar or slightly larger base will cover the old screw holes and any discoloration on the headliner. Decide whether you want a built-in switch on the fixture or plan to control the light from an existing wall switch. Confirm that the fixture is rated for 12V DC, and match the wire leads to your positive and ground connections when you install it.

How do I find a replacement lens cover for my RV interior light?

Measure the existing lens across its length and width, and note how it attaches. Most RV interior lenses snap into tabs on the fixture base, and a lens with the wrong tab spacing will not stay in place. If the fixture is marked with a brand or model number, check that before ordering. If you are unsure, text or call 817-984-1852 with a photo and the measurements of your current lens, and our team will help you find the correct replacement.

Why are my RV's 12 volt lights dim or flickering?

Dim or flickering 12 volt lights on shore power usually point to the power converter rather than the light fixtures. A failing converter often shows up as dimming lights, a house battery that will not hold a charge, or 12-volt accessories that cut out. Check the converter's rated output against your RV's original unit. Most travel trailers and fifth wheels use either 55 amp RV power converters or the smaller 25 amp RV power converters. If the lights are dim only on battery power, test the battery voltage first.
