The differences are candlepower and that is related to amp draw. the higher amp draw also needs a larger glass globe to prevent it from overheating.

So a 1156 is something like 1.2 amps while a 1141 is about 0.9 amps. It will be less bright, less heat generated, and can be a more compact bulb without overheating.

I do not have the charts with me, but someone will chime in with them.

I changed to LED panels. What I bought where 5050 LED emitters, with 24 LED's per panel. 4 of these will draw about 1/2 amp and will be brighter than running two of the 1156 bulbs in my bathroom (that draw 1.2 amps each or 2.4 total. So about 1/5 the total amperage, with more light. Even though it is a little more blue.

I was able to get 50 LED panels for $1.20 each at AliExpress.com

Click on the site, then search for 24 LED 5050 panels. Then click on free shipping, and then look for "Price" and click on lowest first. You will see options to buy 1,000 at a time, but look at the slightly higher price, to get a reasonable number of panels. I used some at a friends house to light up the exterior with a 10 amp solar controller and 90 watt solar panel.

I also got mine from m4. Great product, great service. And you can ask the guy questions.

I go for the warmest option available - it is more like incandescent.

I belive it is candle power. 1156 being brighter than the 1141

try here

I have purchased several of their bulbs, and have been well pleased. I bought mine at a RV dealer, probably paid a bit more for them.

Just replaced all my 1156 with LED bulbs. Went to "M4 products" on line and bought the best they had. My class B interior looks way better with the new lighting.

I get mine from superbrightleds.com great site and products.....lots of info too.

I bought them from CW. I didn't have time or want to research LED's but these seem to illuminate well and they are fantastic for my battery life. About 1/10 the draw. Pricey but they do what I want.

You might try ebay, if you want inexpensive, although you do get what you pay for.
