I used the Starlight brand of led tube replacement. Specs are 840 lumens, 8-30 vdc and 4,200 Kelvins. One tube will be as bright as two fluorescent tubes. I prefer a little warmth in the light and 4200 will do that, however, the blue white lights do not provide accurate color rendition. If you want warm light, like a residential light bulb, then be sure to stick with bulbs that run 2,500 to 4,000 Kelvins. As far as lumens the typical incandescent bulb in RV's produces about 160 lumens, so you can choose more or less light as desired.
