Billggski Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Just remembered I wanted to update my fridge with a blue light like all the new ones I saw at the NEC, but where do I find these blue bulbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 The ones in the newer fridges are an LED mounted on a small pcb with door open alarm & switch. I don't think you can buy anything suitable as a retro fit. IMO they give a horrible light been thinking about changing the LED on mine to a white one.

Derek Uzzell Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Billggski - 2015-12-18 7:09 PM Just remembered I wanted to update my fridge with a blue light like all the new ones I saw at the NEC, but where do I find these blue bulbs? If you have a Dometic fridge the following 2013 forum-discussion may be relevant http://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Dometic-fridge-interior-bulb-/30684/ Having done some follow-up research, I believe that the ‘funny’ 12V bulb that was used in older Dometic fridges’s interior lamps was also commonly employed in vehicle dashboards. On that basis the LED-equivalents advertised here should fit. http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/R509TM-LED-B8.3D-12V-2W-Panel-and-Dashboard-Bulbs.html?gclid=CPSK39Tn58kCFYW4GwodQckLZw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Stick some LED tape up, comes on 5m rolls for about 6 quid on eBay. It's 12v and you can get any colour. You simply cut it to length where it's marked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Might not be easy to use LED strips to replace a fridge’s interior light... Past complaints have been that the 12V bulb used in earlier Dometic fridges’ interior light was a) unique to Dometic, b) expensive and c) difficult to source. In fact, none of those things seem to be true. I believe a direct replacement is as advertised here http://directshopping4u.com/epages/eshop412004.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/eshop412004/Products/286TVBL The base-fitting design is critical and - although there are now LED equivalents of certain 12V dashboard bulbs - I’m now not certain that the LED bulb I suggested earlier would fit. It would be wise to check this with the advertiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
