LED Conversion on Bargman 76 Style Interior Lights

Can I Install the Command Electronics 30 LED Upgrade into a Bargman 76 Series Light?

This installation is not a problem.  Bargman's 76 series light is available in double or single versions.  This modification applies to both.

After removing the lens and bulb you must remove the small aluminum reflector. 


The reflector is held in place by a small plastic rib shown below.  To remove the lens, push the rib down, then slide the reflector about 1/8 of an inch away from the rib.  (up in the photo) This releases the rib side of the reflector.  Lift the reflector up slightly to clear the locking rib then slide the reflector toward the rib (down in the photo) to release it fully.  The reflector is not used in the LED conversion.




It may be helpful to insert the plug from the LED board into the socket as you perform the rest of the installation.

Slide the board into position.  It's a tight fit, but the board will fit or may require some very minor modification of the white plastic base.  Due to the reflector retention system, the board will not sit flat in the light so the double faced tape pre-installed on the LED board cannot be used.  Instead, the board will be held in place by the socket and a bit of clear RTV adhesive.
