Does the new style bulb fit in the track and then turn to lock it in.
You do not use the adjustable set up is that correct???

Jack,

The information given was for a replacement LED bulb, not the entire fixture.

The bulb does, indeed, "twist" into the fixture socket and is locked in place. The fixture, also, "twists" into the track. In fact, it might be easier for you to remove the fixture to replace the bulb

To remove the old halogen, turn a qtr or so counter clockwise. This will release the bulb. Reverse the procedure for the new LED.

track lite bulb replacement

So here is the latest............... I went to Lowes here in Az. They had a bayonet type plug in a LED bulb(twin pins) . I bought one to give it a try. It is a direct replacement for the hot halogen bulb. It took about 45 secs. to install. It puts out more light than the halogen bulb and I will go back tomorrow and buy two more. Cost is $21.40 ea.

Bulb is a: Utiliteck Pro 12V MR16 GU 5.3 indoor reflector. Brightness is 325 lumens and uses 7 watts.

It gives off absolutely no heat but is as bright or brighter than the halogen. My problem is solved for the track light.

Thanks for your info.

Jack

Glad it worked out for you. Liked mine so much, I added another fixture and aimed it towards the pantry area. I like the extra lighting there.

Little off track - :)

We have the 3 hanging pendant lights over our island. Replaced the standard bulbs with LED's. Took us twice to get the right ones. The first set (different style) from Superbright LED's only gave out low light and began to flicker and strobe. But the newer ones, Ming's 921 Green Long Life 250 Lumens LED Bulb, from Dyers RV Parts are holding up well.

Finally found some LED bayonet replacement bulbs for the reading lights over the bed and under living room recliners/couch. I have been searching for well over a year and finally found these on Amazon. There have been a few that were twice as much. So far after a few weeks, they are performing well. No heat and adequate light. So far I've only replaced 4.

Do those provide the same amount of light as the originals in the reading lamps?

Not sure Mike. Don't have a way to check. But in my estimation, is slightly lower output. But for me it means it's also less glare on a page.

If it's pretty close that would be OK. We tend to go through bulbs in the bedroom reading lamps regularly. I might have to replace an entire lamp if I can't get the last burn out out of the fitting. Seems to be stuck.

LED Replacement Bulbs

Maybe I just need a life but, I have been replacing ALL of my MS bulbs with LED bulbs. I boondock a lot and try to squeeze everything I can from my battery bank. I started with a complete inventory of what needed to be replaced and submitted my list to a company here in my home state that specializes in marine fixtures and products.

My list was (your mileage may vary):

C912 - 6 ea.
C921 - 6 ea.
1139F - 6 ea.
921 (18W) - 7 ea.
RV G4 "Small Puck" - 12 ea.
RV G4 "Large Puck" - 8 ea.
18" Fluorescent (4 Fixtures 2 ea.) - 8 Bulbs
12" Fluorescent (1 Fixture 2 ea.) - 2 Bulbs

I also added 5 Dimmers.

If I am "Hijacking" this thread, please feel free to move it, Mr. Moderator. Just never saw a list anywhere else. Hoping this will help.

Still luvin' my "Suh-Weet".
