Gustafson RV LED Dome Lights Dimmed After Dusting Inside Of Cover

Published 04/08/2020

Question:

I removed the cover to dust the inside of the cover and when I put the cover back on the light is very dim. Any suggestions on what I did wrong? I dusted 4 lights and had the same result.

There are only two reasons that I can think of that the Gustafson RV LED Dome Lights part # 277-000491 may have suddenly dimmed. I am not sure how you have them all wired but the ground wire may have come loose and is making the lights dim. You want to make sure each light has a good connection to the ground wire of the camper or RV. I know it sounds silly but you want to make sure the lights still have a good power source and the black power wires are not damaged/frayed.

Since it happened right after the dusting, is it possible you may have let the inside of the lights get wet? If there is moisture build up inside the light or the inside of the light got wet there may be damage.
