LED light replacement

Our TT was only 3 years old when we purchased it recently. But the wedge base receptacles in ALL the ceiling light fixtures were all burnt to a brown color. So in addition to the other advantages of LEDs of better light, less heat & less power consumption, add saving your fixtures from damage.

Try Led Light Bulbs.

I have been buying them for many years on ebay, with excellent results. I recently bought about twenty 48 SMD panels for $1.77 each shipped from China to convert the ceiling lights in our new TT. I have converted several TT's and several tow vehicles to LED's.

Besides the panels, which include 3 types of adaptors, I have bought these two styles and been very happy with them (I know how to use the link creator thingy, but for some reason it isn't working for me right now -- sorry, you'll have to copy and past the links):

Someone on another post on this forum recommended m4products.com. We just replaced all of our 1156 bulbs, vanity bulbs (globes), wedge base, & reading lamps with warm white bulbs from them. The prices weren't the cheapest but not the most expensive either. Their webpage was very well organized and the shipping was fast. Most of the cheap bulbs produce a bluish light that we couldn't live with. We're hooked to shore power most of the time, but feel good about using less power and also wanted to be able to cut back on A/C use since these produce less heat.

But durn they look nice and do let folks know that you're gonna be stopping.

Hi Bigdog,
DW and I do a lot of dry camping and the regular bulbs will drain our coach batteries very fast, hence he need to swap to LEDs, but if I was like you hand hooked to shore power, I would not be swapping either.

Camping world has a six pack for about 75 (65 with membership) you are paying for one,,, Do not know (yet) how good they are but works out to about 11 bucks per lamp.

I bought 10 of these just to try them out. I have now bought a total of 30 and have changed all my bulbs with some spares left over. I know some will say to stay away from the cheap ones like this but They work great and for the price I just don't think there is downside. they generate zero heat and about exactly the same brightness as the conventional bulbs I replaced. I lied though. There is a slight downside. Shipping was very slow.
