Jayco LED cause recall of 13,000 trailers

[gbpack]

Wow! This is incredible. I didn't know that LED lights can get hot. Do the LED ceiling lights in our trailers get hot like this as well?

LEDs do produce heat that is usually dissipated to the air through a heat sink. Those recalled in the Jayco campers evidently were not manufactured or installed correctly. I hope those in LL units are ok. I've had the lights in my camper apart a number of times cleaning out Al chips and have seen no melting or burning.

They didn't mention flickering LED's.  I guess we are destined to vacuuming and stuffing with insulation (which still lets some flakes through)

I know we all have issues with our Livin Lites, but here's another video that should make you feel good about your purchase.

Just hoping I don't get shocked!

O.M.G.  I thought LL had problems? Well LOL I now feel better with the minor and I mean minor issues I am having!

I do not like the new 21RBS and an glad I got the 2016/2017 with a real floor even thought I have a vinyl swimming pool roof. God bless THOR because I won't.

Anyone who has had multiple trailers will tell you horror stories, the RV industry in general has a piss poor QC issue.
