possible fire hazard lighting outlaw etc.
during the process of changing to led bulbs, my 2013 outlaw has a sconce ( just got it in march) lighting fixture , it has a plastic white tube inside the glass that defuses the light, the older bulb had started to melt this plastic tube.

My Hurricane (2014) has a double pancake light installed vertically just behind passengers seat... As I use that seat for our seasonal trips as an 'office - the light got a lot of use. It definately doesn't vent properly in that orientation - and started to melt/discolor the clean plastic lens.
Definitely cooler on LED now. Heat certainly not good - but long way from melting to ignition... Some examples: Melting points and ignition temperatures Plastic Melting Point Range Ignition Temperature 88°-125° 416° 91°-125° 560° 49°-121° 475°-540° 160°-275° 424°-532° 140°-150° 580° 220°-268° 432°-488° 107°-124° 349° 122°-137° 349° 158°-168° 570° 100°-120° 488°-496° 85°-121° 416° 327° 530° 212° 454° 75°-110° 435°-557° |
Well... that table looked a lot better in the posting window... lol
for each - first line is melting temp, second is ignition... Temps may be in Celcius - but real point is the difference between melting and ignition. |
