Question:
I have a 2005 Fleetwood Discovery Motorhome, the question I have is the coach has two fluorescent lite fixtures on the inside ceiling with two bulbs per fixture. One of the bulbs burned out and was going to replace it but the numbers on the bulb which are F15W/33 CE coolwhite 850Lm T8 183. All information I have found is these bulbs are for AC power. I know these lights worked on the 12 volt battery power. Are these just the old regular fluorescent bulbs or is this something special I need to use. Kind of confused on how an AC power bulb works on 12V power.

Hello John. We do have some options for replacing the F15W/33 850Lm T8 bulbs. If your light fixture uses the tube-style bulbs we have the T8 LED Light Bulb # DI73VR. This bulb is 18" long and has 700 lumens of output, so not quite as bright as what you have now.
We also have a surface-mount T8 LED bulb part # DI44ZR. This is 1,400 lumen rated so a good option if you want something brighter. You may want to replace all 4 bulbs so they match.
Both of the bulbs I mentioned are made to work with 12v DC power not AC.

Hey John, how did the LED T8 bulbs work out in your Fleetwood Discovery? Did the brightness and color match what you were hoping for inside the coach? Your update could make it easier for others replacing similar fixtures.
