Dimmable LED Install – Natural Light in your RV

Did your RV sell you on the energy saving benefits of LED like Entegra Coach did to us? Ours did, but once we started living in it we realized some of the LED lights were ultra bright or “cool white” non-dimmable LED lights that were extremely harsh on the eyes. If you want your RV to feel like a corporate office building, or a hospital room then cool white is definitely the lights you should choose. For us, not so much, we prefer a warmer, traditional light and we also want those lights to dim.

In this video we replace the cool, harsh white LED lights installed by Entegra with dimmable warm white LED lights that are much easier on the eyes.
