The bulb blew in my awning light so I replaced it with exactly the same bulb but have now noticed that it has burnt the cover!! Any idea where I can get a replacement for an Adria Adora 612DP?

Think I've found the problem! Previous owner had fitted 20W bulb instead of 10W and like a plonker I replaced like for like! New light on order thanks to Gagakev and now it'll be 10W bulbs!!

Hi Len, glad your sorted,
Now I'll tell you............ mines burnt as well !!!
Changed my bulb last year so will check the wattage on mine,
May even look to change the bulb for some kind of LED so if any one has any ideas what we could change it for help would be appreciated, Guessing it could be lower wattage with the same brightness???

I use a 3W 15 led ;) with this adaptor the only thing i have done extra is put a dab of blue tack on between the bulb & holder as it had moved before when towing...

As you can see mine was ok up to 25w ( or a old 21w indicator bulb ) ;) but this one is far brighter & does not get warm enough to melt the front cover :p

I had to replace mine earlier this year, due to the charger overcharging. I replaced it with a LED, it is a festoon type bulb and seems a lot brighter.

An LED solution is to buy some of the 12 volt strip and build up a bank of strips, wired in parallel.

The LED comes as a ribbon with built/printed on 12 volt bus bar, this you can cut into sections, typically every three LEDs, but it is marked. Not yet tried it myself as getting the cover off my age hardened light is taking too much courage whilst it still works.
I have though kept the link and details as I believe it offers a good solution.
This link gets you in then it is a matter of following its own links.

Sourcing is going to be best via Google for some budget deals; sorry no links for that on file.

Edit: This is an example, though I would seek out cold white for this awning application, it is brighter.

It comes in 5 metres so you can go mad internally with stylish lights with that amount!
