Changing to LED lights

I got all of mine off eBay from the 2011_LED vendor. Takes 2-3 weeks to get delivered but 100% worked. Got the panels, they put out as much, or more, light than the incandescent bulbs and only get slightly warm to the touch. Current draw is much lower than incandescent. We're happy with them and never think we need to turn off lights to conserve power!

I echo the above...

I replaced ALL incandescent bulbs in my RV with items from his store more than a year ago.

0% problems. 100% happy.

The link that gbopp put up is very useful and the vendor that is mentioned there is a very good one to buy from. I have bought from him 4 different times and have found his lights to be better than the ones from other vendors that I experimented with.

Led Vendor

I have replaced all the lights in my TT with leds from this vendor. I have never had a problem with any of his products, I can't say the same for some of the other Chinese vendors.

I bought mine from superbrightleds.com. They are very helpful with advice on what LEDs will work, color temperatures, lumens, etc. Online chat or phone help available. They are located in suburb of St. Louis, MO. I happen live close enough that I have visited their warehouse. Excellent people to work with and good prices. Usually ship within 1-2 days.

I replaced all the interior lights on my camper with LEDs. My light fixtures were old and the plastic was rotted, so I replaced most of them with the entire LED fixtures.
I replaced all the outside lights also.

For boondocking, going to LED lights was one of the best things I have ever done.

Depending on what bulbs your RV fixtures take you may find replacement bulbs in a home store. Some of the fixtures in my RV take G4 base bulbs. I found LED replacements for these in both Lowes and Home Depot. They cost $10 each but they are easily returnable and you can try one out to see if you like the difference. Then you can try one of the many websites that specialize in RV LED replacements that may or may not be cheaper.

Just to clear something up, it is voltage regulators that may cause Radio frequency interference (RFI). All 12v LED lights use resistors to limit the current.

Thank you. I knew that didn't sound quite right.

Moved from Forum Technical Support

I just bought 10 24SBD warm white G4 base LED's for $9 including shipping as back ups, should be a life time supply. If you check color temperature and lumens, well I will gamble these will work out well, the ones I have now did. They virtually all come from China anyway.

I think the problem comes when they don't limit the voltage.
