Speaker 1: Today we're going to be taking a look at the Gustafson RV Double Dome Pancake Light, Part Number 277-000340.This LED Pancake Light is a great upgrade, or replacement, for your RV, camper, or enclosed trailer. It features two clear lenses with a textured pattern. This is going to help disperse the light throughout your camper. It features two modes. We have a single light and a double light.With the lenses removed, you can see the 18 LED's. There's nine on each side.
The overall dimensions are four and three quarters of an inch long, 11 and a half inches wide, and one and one quarter of an inch deep. Customers on our side are using these to upgrade from the old incandescent lights to LED's. LED's are more efficient. They last longer. And there are no bulbs to replace.Now that we all know the features I'll go ahead and show you how to get it installed.
We'll be replacing our old light. Let's go ahead and start. We'll want to first make sure the electric is off, and then we can take off our lens covers. We'll pull back and then take them out. We'll want to remove our old hardware.
We'll also want to save those because our new one doesn't come with hardware.With our hardware removed, let's go ahead and pull it down and reveal our wiring. As you can see, the wiring uses wire nuts, so we're going to go ahead and reuse those. We'll just twist them off.Now we can grab our new Pancake Light. It's a good idea to have the lens covers removed before you connect the wiring because it can be a little bit difficult to take them off once it's wired up. The way you take them off is you grab the two sides and squeeze, just like that.Now we can bring in our wire nuts and reconnect our wiring.
Our black is going to be our ground, so we'll connect it to our white. We'll just line up the wires and twist on our wire nut. Then we'll repeat the same process with our power wire, which is our red.Before we install our light it's a good idea to check our power. I've gone ahead and turn it back on, now let's check our light. I'd say it works good.Now that will know everything's working, let's go ahead and button up our install. Push our wiring back up into our ceiling. Want to get it lined up. With our hardware in place, let's go ahead and replace our lens covers. You want to be sure to slide in the sides first and then squeeze it to pop it in place. Looks like we're all set.And that's going to complete our look at the Gustafson RV Double Dome Pancake Light, Part Number 277-000340.

First one out of the box is wired wrong internally. The ground is connected to the 12v terminal on one diode board. The others seem ok. Product seems good quality and service has been good. 493689
Easy install, lighting is adequate. In Comparing this to older lights that I have installed led bulbs in I find that the older upgraded lights are brighter. 486933
Worked great. I used the clear ones on the cealing and the frosted one's above the benches. Makes the trailer a little brighter but not to bright. Great energy savings. Lower profile gives you more clearance. The 4 center mount holes were the same as the ones that I removed. 434826
I HAVE NOT INSTALLED THE FIXTURE; HOWEVER, IT LOOKS GREAT AND I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE IT WILL NOT WORK WELL FOR US. 340542
Light is bright and good efficiency. Much better overall than a typical halogen or tungsten fixture for camping use. Light temperature is a little "cold" compared to incandescent but not overly harsh. After buying one fixture I ended up replacing all of them in my camper and added a couple more, increasing the overall available light inside while still saving power overall. 423510
So easy to install..Great value.. Will keep you in mind for all of my Rv needs. Great job.. 540173
As usual, the product arrived on time and in perfect condition. The polarity of the hook up wires were reversed. Once I figured this out, the installation was a breeze. I replaced 3 broken original equipment fixtures that had incandescent bulbs. Boy are these things bright! This was a pleasant surprise, much better lighting than the original fixtures. The mounting hole pattern matched the originals, that was also very nice. Overall, despite the polarity mix up, these LED fixtures are a great value and I would not hesitate to recommend them to another person. 568204
Robert F - 09/23/2019Wanted LED replacements for my 05 Weekend Warrior. These covered the area of the existing fixtures, and put out more light than the incandescent, or LED replacement bulbs I tried. Color is excellent. Not yellow, green, or blue. Bright, white light. Will be replacing all my RV's fixtures with these. 467009
Very good products and great service. 475049
Donald - 02/12/2019Great light.3 watts per side, 6 watts total. Now have our entire travel trailer switched over to these lights. Can now go whole weekend on one battery and still have some juice left afterward. Easy install. 595410
Bought this light fixture to replace the original incandescent bulb fixture. Installation was fast and easy. I absolutely love the bright white result. 746416
This led fixture provides more light and less heat, it looks elegant too. Installation was straightforward after watching the video on eTrailer.com. There were no instructions included with the product though, and the video did not mention the mounting holes for the new light are not the same as the old brand; thus you will be drilling new holes in your roof. 746031
Replaced all of the old ugly dome lights with these. The only problem was that the lights we took down were long and these barely fit. Would be nice if they made ones that were a little longer. Other wise they look very nice. 739427
It would have a been nice to get some hardware with the light. Like wire nuts and a set of screws to install the light. Any other time I bought a light fixture it always had some hardware. 732256
These LED lights are great. The color temperature works nicely with the existing incandescent RV lighting. Very nice dealing with ETrailer! 718589

Great light and was easy to install. 708469
Getting the items we needed and the items we needed was very helpful in letting us finish refurbishing the motor home we perched. Thank you 706569
I shopped online for replacement lights for my 2009 Dutchmen 185 Cub. I have found etrailer through out the years that they are the Go To place for a variety of travel trailer parts. Their service is great, fair prices, and fast shipping. Thank you, Gary 703853
Switched from older incandescent light fixtures (12 volt) to LED fixtures. 10 fixtures completed the project. The lights are ; brighter, give off less heat, don’t burn out, have two levels of brightness ( 50% energy reduction per LED fixture if you use the three position switch) and they look good in the boat. I recommend the LED fixtures. 703599
Bright but not harsh. 1 or 2 light switch is nice touch. 2 wires and a few mounting screws (not included) installed two in 15 minutes including taking out the old fixtures. Big improvement. 703135
Easy install and perfect replacement. (however, wish there were a version available with accessory plug-in for reading light on an extension cord, which was on the replaced original light) 698835
new light # IS same light w/clear cover, changed cover no problem,looks good. 693105
