1156 bulbs or not
In case I'm not the only one. After so many years of 1156 bulbs being identified at a glance, my porch light burnt out and I dropped one in. Yes, melted the whole lamp. There are bulbs the same size...

There are two lamps, identical in size 1141 and 1156 The 19 and 26 watts respectively.
The solution is LED lamps much less heat, much less current draw, much less wattage, same amount of light, sometimes more.
That's exactly what I did, put an 1156 instead of 1141. Had to get a new fixture.
I just ordered a bunch of LEDs for my interior lights. They are getting so cheap, why not try them? I'm trying two different styles, the big and small flat arrays, I think 18 and 30 led? I have nice aftermarket lights over the dinette (eating/cards)and sofa (for reading) and the ceiling lights are usually like one fixture lit (and one bulb on that one) for a little light when watching tv. Figure I really can't be too disappointed.
