The LED map light on my brand new Itaska failed after about five hours of use and just after the warranty expired. The folks at Winneabago just hid behind their warranty rather than help me out. Anyone know the manufactorer of this LED light that is supposed to last 50,000 hours?

Mike,
Since you say "Map light", I'm assuming it's possibly the one in a move-able socket above your head, is that true? Do you have a picture of it or model number? If it's a factory installed LED, you're right, that's the shortest life of any LED I've ever heard of. Of all the LEDs that I've installed, I've only had one go bad. That was the one in the little round light, below the steps to light up the step area. I can't figure out why it went bad in such a short time.
But as for yours, that's certainly odd too. The company I do business with online is: www.superbrightleds.com.
They're a very reputable,knowledgeable and helpful company and have LEDs that co-inside with just about every light in and outside your coach. I purchased one that I put in my map light and really like it. It's a "Cool white" version and is considerably brighter in color than the hot, stock, power consuming bulb that was in that socket from the factory. All quality LEDs will cost a bit but, in my opinion, it's been well worth the initial cost.
I can have a ton of lights on in my coach and it has almost ZERO effect on the house batteries. Hope you get this fixed.
