So if I understand correctly, using 120v inverter is 1.7 amps + .5 amp for 120V LED bulb?
You're right, I should have clarified that in my comment.
I believe he is referring to my earlier thread, trying to decide if I should convert my 120v-only lights in my large slide to 12v or get an inverter, and which would be better for dry camping (batteries)
For that question, it's the perfect answer ;)
Looks like I'll be doing the inverter option.
My LEDs have arrived from overseas. I've been too ill this week to do anything with them, but I plan to take my incandescent power measurements before + after with LEDs to add to the "knowledge base" ;)
