LED lights

I replaced mine with 36-1210 panels and 18-5050 cob style warm white LED lights. They are close to the same brightness as the original 1141 bulbs. I bought them from 2011_led on eBay.

Here is a link to his store.

I bought these and I am very satisfied!

We purchased 10 of the Green Value LEDs, made by Ming's Mark Inc (China). These lights fit 1141, 1156, BA15S, and T25 base.

We have:
- 1 fixture with cool white (color temp: 6000-6500K),
- 1 fixture with natural white (color temp: 4000-4500K),
- 3 fixtures with warm white (color temp: 3000-3500K),

Each operates 8-30V, draws 3.24W, and puts out about 250 to 300 lumens.

The light output is similar to the original lights, generate very little heat, and use much less power.

We purchased through a local RV dealer at $10 ea. These lights can also be purchased through Ebay and maybe Amazon.

We like the round bulb as it is not as directional and very easy to install.

DW thought the 36-1210 panels over the bed were too bright. I put 24-1210 "pancake" ones in and she's happy.

M4products has great LEDs that are nearly identical to incandescent. Just replaced half my rig. They use a fraction of the power and run far cooler. They are regulated as well so they won't blow up if they are fed +14VDC.

also is the 1141 base (what I have) the same as the 1156 base

I bought 2 of the 24-1210 panels from a different vender than I had previously used, I can't remember who it was. They turned out to be much dimmer than the 36-1210 I had previously bought. It was not only the result of fewer LEDs but each individual LED was dimmer. I guess the manufacturer used larger series resistors. I used them in the hallway where I didn't need much light.

1141s and 1156s both use the BA15S base. The 1156 is brighter and draws more current than the 1141. Many RV manufacturers use the 1141 because the 1156 produces so much heat that it can melt the plastic fixtures.

I just bought 4 from cabinbrite.com $32 and free shipping

The panels will stick to the fixture better if you gently roughen the surface of the fixture with sandpaper. Just in case you were wondering.

Just for extra insurance I also zip-tied my panels to the fixture reflector in addition to sanding the mounting area.

good point - we have the frosted lenses, been leaning towards the panels.
