We have a small travel trailer that we use to boon dock during the summer. If we didn't run the generator before bed after using the lights to read, outside floods to walk the dogs before bed and to run the heat during the night, we ran out of juice from our on battery.
I replaced all 36 incandescent bulbs in single and double pancake lights with LEDs purchased on eBay out of Hong Kong. Think the cost per panel was something like $3 each free shipping. They had adapters for the three types of bases. The seller had thousands of positive feedbacks. They arrived in about 10 days.
Camping World is currently running a "sale" on similar flat panel LEDs for $17.48 each. So I could spend $629 or $100.
China LEDs have two seasons of camping, probably a total of 60 days and not a failure. Have plenty of juice to read before bed, run outside lights, run the heat all night.
