LED Upgrade... Done!
So prior to joining here I had decided to upgrade the lighting in our travel trailer to LED. A common issue I noticed while reading reviews for various LED replacement lights on Amazon was that the lights that people were installing while labeled for 12v use often times did not take into account that there would on occasion be small surges or general line voltage changes that could spike the voltage being sent to these lights at times well beyond their design capabilities and as a result there were horror stories in other forums and various Amazon reviews about lights catching fire, showing signs of extreme over heating and in some cases just being complete junk.
After spending a considerable amount of time trying to locate an LED replacement light that would 1. fit the 921 base, 2. put out a comparable amount of light, 3. work at slightly higher voltages when needed,4. be as inexpensive as possible. I arrive at these.
12-28 volt LED
Hopefully the link will appear.
So far they seem to work perfectly, there were no duds, so far no flickering and no apparent over heating.
I plan to load test them tonight to see just how much they draw but my guess is that it will be minuscule compared to the incandescent bulbs.
Will let you all know how well they do when they're actually needed. :)
