Nuevo Awning Light Changing Bulb ? Empty Nuevo Awning Light Changing Bulb ?

Post by CC Tue Oct 01, 2013 4:34 pm

While away in France our awning light on the Nuevo failed... It's the glass oval bowl shaped light as fitted to other models before AutoSleeper changed over to the newer style. 

my first question is 

Does anyone know the procedure to change the bulb ie how is the glass or acrylic shade removed without breaking?

Secondly does anyone know the bulb type fitted in these lamps? And if there is an Led replacement that will fit?


Any advice or tips appreciated smile!

If its the same as the Windsor the lense is held on by an O Ring (AS did not for some reason fit the surround) and you need to find the prise point.

When its off there is a normal bulb and yes you can substitute as I did with an led.  I could have used adhesive strip as with all the other roof typre lights but I didnt and fitted
an LED via an appropriate adaptor from Leisurepower (just down the road from us)

Hi Roli

I note there are little cut outs are these the prise point you refer to? Was just worried it could be brittle and crack or shatter... Will have a better look tomorrow

Hi CC
Just put a screwdriver blade in the slots and carefully prise off. It's a fairly positive click. On our Gatcombe the cover showed signs of heat burn. I managed to purchase a complete new unit from Roadpro in their clearance stock a year ago for £3.99 ! I couldn't find one anywhere else. Roli's solution of an LED is a very good idea as the original bulbs do get very hot and the cover will eventually discolour. 

Regards
John

Johns seems to be same system as ours. ie: gentle screwdriver prise

The complete light has a steel cover which is secured to the van and you should get these from a decent accessory shop. Mine came from Spinney so if you damage the lense you can easily identify the orginal lamp

Hi CC
We had to have our awning light bulb changed this year. It was done at the factory and they had to remove the whole unit from the van to change. They said the lens does not come off separately! what a stupid design.
Think if my bulb goes again I will get A/S to fit the slimmer led design fitted to the latest model.

Thanks everyone for the tips... Had a look at the shade and a slight gentle prise was enough for the shade to pop off

Hi CC

Did you get your bulb fitted? Can you tell me, please, what bulb you used?. The bulb has gone in mine and I havent a clue what it looks like - I dont want to take the cover off until Ive got a bulb ready to put in. Will be away in the van towards the end of the month, so it would be handy to have the awning light in use, especially when I take the dog out last thing at night doggy 

thank you
regards
