steve,
i had to do three things.
1. remove the reflector from the puck fixture. (allows a bigger diameter led with more led's to fit)
2. remove the black plastic spacer holding the two prongs apart so the led will fit flush against the fixture socket
3. cut off some of the prongs. i found different suppliers had different length prongs. i just after a few of them knew how long fit and would cut them off.
i am not set on any one supplier because these are ALL coming from china. the USA guys are just marking them up quite a bit.
interestingly enough, i went to a factory where they made led strip lights and such outside of shanghai. it was a fun visit.
we love this style lighting. the other thing i would do (and i did) was to get different ones with different numbers of led's and the two color temperatures (cool and warm) to see how much light and what color of light you like, i experimented quite a bit before i bought enough to do the whole coach. there are different size led's they use as well. (2 different ones with the 5050's being the bigger and brighter). i will post later today pictures of different ones of these as examples.
