We were just sitting quietly reading when one of the LED reading lights in our 2016 Elddis Motorhome went out. Thought this would just mean replacing a bulb but when I found the handbook it stated..
“ You should not need to replace these long life lights,however should the need arrive please only replace these lights with identical lights which are available from your Elddis retailer” and then...
NOTE: All LED lights can only be replaced with a complete unit and not a replacement bulb” !!!
What! Does that really mean replace the whole light fitting just because the bulb has gone? That sounds expensive and very impractical. What a waste.
Of course it doesn’t help that the dealer is closed for Christmas and the fact we are in Southern Spain. Other than just change the unit for one we don’t use has anyone come across this before, any idea of cost of replacement or is there a more simple and hopefully cheaper solution.
I haven’t checked but would doubt that light fittings were under much more than a 12month warranty.
