303 dining lights

John, Thanks for the link to the Facon light, may be an alternative. Looked good, ordered!

Tom

Let us know if it’s an exact match or close. I went through the whole rig last winter when I was bored and inventoried bulbs, batteries and fuses and tried to track them down, but I haven’t ordered any of those.

John - Good find! Those look to be exactly the same lights, down to the PN. At that price, I just added them to my Amazon "cart"!

Tom (@Tom&Joan) I note that the GDRV PN has been "updated" from earlier PNs. This might mean that the replacement lights are slightly different than the originals. If you order more than one, you can replace the pair and they will exactly match each other. (The good one becomes the spare for other locations) I think you will get these lights a lot faster and cheaper through Amazon than through your Grand Design dealer.

Rob, Did order through Amazon. Free shipping as well. As for shipping cost, I just ordered a tool through Eastwood, the tool was $20, the shipping was over $12. The tool was very light, so I am wary of shipping cost adding to what seems to be a reasonable price to start with. Back to the lights, we did order two.

Received new lights today, they are an exact match for old ones. Will install after I get blind crimp connectors that I forgot the last time I went to town.

Glad to know they were right.

can you replace just the bulb or do you have to replace the whole puck? We have one that's flickering.

Bill

Hi Bill,

The LEDs are part of the fixture. There is no "bulb" to replace. See the picture attached to post 6. The whole "puck" needs to be replaced.

Bill,

As Rob says, no bulb. The lens does unscrew however, which reveals the led elements. Ours flickered as well before it failed completely. Did not replace today, weather was too nice outside. Will further report when I figure out the best way to avoid getting digits caught in the spring loaded "wings" that hold them up.

LED's generally do not flicker, you might just have a loose wire connection. Worth a check.

Brian,

I was surprised at the flickering, but I bench tested the bad one as well as the one still working. Could not make the "bad" one work, the "good" one did. I do have a habit of second guessing myself!
