Replacing inside lighting with LEDs
We just bought 1 a 92 Southwind S/P 35 and I have noticed some of those plastic covered lights with the switch in the middle seem to be burned out. I love the "daylight" LED light bulbs I have in my s...

Personally I prefer a natural/daylight color, not bluish, not yellowish, just a white light. Depends on the color and darkness of the interior partly. I bought these lights from an Amazon seller to replace my 1141 bulbs and found they work great. They are flat panel and the panel rotates in the base so after you align the bayonet base you can rotate the panel to shine down or however you like.

At first I bought two just to try out, I liked them so I bought a pack of 10 each from a different seller for a better price. I have three two bulb ceiling fixtures and one single bulb fixture in the shower. Also have a single bulb porch light.
I have done a rather extensive burn in and haven't had any diode failures yet.
I have about ten small "reading lights" and was watching a RVGeeks video on Youtube about LED bulbs (they have a series of about 6 vids on LED lighting) and saw they had the exact same reading lights as I do, so I bought the bulbs they used..... from M4, rather pricey but well made, much better than what others appear to be. All of the circuitry on the back is potted in epoxy to protect and insulate it, and they have a metal shell.
These replace the 10 watt halogen G4 base bulbs.

These videos will give you a good education on LED lighting for RV's, I highly suggest you watch all six parts.
