Propane to electric light conversion.

Tonight I spend some time on a "fun" project.  We are not planning on running any propane in our shasta when its done.  But I really liked the look of the propane light that is mounted above the dinette.  I thought it adds a lot of character to the interior.

So I converted it to electric!  It wasn't too hard and I'm super happy with the results.


Here is how I did it...

First I disassembled it, and also opened the valve all the way.

Then I used a drill to widen the channel the gas originally travel through to make room for the 12v wiring.

I bought this light from my local RV store for around 8 bucks.

I removed the socket from this light to use in my converted light.

I ran the wires through the now wider housing.  Next, I re-assembled the light.

Then I soldered the new socket on the wiring.



Pulled the slack in the wire back until I thought the bulb was in the middle of the glass globe and tested!
