Pot Light LED Bulb Replacement?

Does anyone know of an LED bulb that will replace the quartz halogen bulbs in the DRV pot lights? or Does any one know of a replacement fixture with an LED bulb that will fit into the QH pot light hole?

QH - Quartz Halogen. Pot lights are the approximate 3" round lights recessed into the ceilings and undercabinets of DRVs and probably most other rvs.

I've found them at Home Depot, Lowes and of coarse Camping World.. Don't get anything higher than 10w you will melt the fixture

Morscuba - are you talking about quartz halogen bulbs? I was inquiring about an LED bulb to replace the quartz halogens because of the heat the quartz halogens generate.

John - The DRV reps always refer to them as pot lights thats how I came across the name.

I thought they were puck lights, like hockey pucks??

Anyway, I got my replacement bulbs at Wal-Mart. As already mentioned, do not go over 10w.

Duh!!! sorry about that I just saw th QH and brain went into freeze. I have had a lot of luck with different led's going thru motorcycle custom shops,,ya know the ones that do the ground effect lights.. dunno but might be worth a call.

If you go to LEDlight.com and look for the G4 Ultra Bribht 9 SMT LED low voltage bulb. You will find the one that fits. It looks to be about the size of a Silver Dollar and has 2 pins on the side of it.
The price is not too bad at this site, as last winter they cost me 20 bucks each at Yuma. They do work really well if you get the Warm White color. The White color was a bit too blue for me.
