Keith,
There is a difference in size between what is original to my 79 and what
Bluebird parts offers. You need to measure yours and check with Earl in BB parts
Ga. to see if it suits your needs. The original Mfg. of my lights RGM no
longer offers repair. They are still in business but in other menu categories.
BB
has gone to another Mfg. and the size is smaller in length. I am sure you
will get other suggestions as this subject has been offered before.

Generally the failure item in the florescent lighting systems, in Blue
Birds, is the ballasts. New ballasts are available from Stephen Birtles who is
usually on line at least every day. The new ballasts are relatively easy to
replace and allow you to maintain the existing fixture.

I replaced all the fluorescent light bulbs in my 84FC. I have two that
don't work. One not at all, and one comes on only briefly.
Can these 18 inch fixtures be repaired or are replacements
available?
Thanks, Keith

Stephen Birtles has the answer and possible the parts you need. He'll
probably reply to your email soon.

While we're on the topic of the fluorescent lighting, has anyone
replaced theirs with LEDs or other lights with a lower power
consumption? I'm amazed at the draw of these lights. I can easily hit
30 amps of pull off my batteries just by turning a bunch of them on,
especially the kitchen lights (9 bulbs total) and a few others - they
add up fast.
Several of my bulbs are shot and several others are mixed color
temperatures, so I'd like to replace a bunch of 'em, but before I do
I'd be really interested in replacing the entire fixtures and/or the
bulbs & ballasts with a lower draw option (without reducing available
light substantially, if at all). We do a lot of boondocking, I love to
camp "wherever" rather than deal with campgrounds and hookups, etc, so
conserving energy is high on my priority list.
