LED Bulbs for Fifth Wheel Intrerior

Saw the recent post on converting interior lights to LED. So went out and checked the sockets on my fifth wheel. They are what I think are called wedge sockets, not the twist in like a 1141 bulb would twist in.

So I see really low cost led bulbs for a T10 wedge socket on ebay. Are all RV interior push in bulbs installed in T 10 sockets or how do I tell which socket I have?

Also does someone have the type of led that would be equivalent in light output to the push in incandescent bulbs.

thanks

An LED does use fewer amps than an incandescent bulb. But you only save in AH, which has the time component.

You can waste a lot of money putting in LEDs for lamps that are hardy ever on for more than a brief time. Also summer time can mean you don't need any lights on from when you get up till almost before bedtime. Winter is the other way around.

Only do what you have to that will actually do you any good in your situation.

I would recommend checking out M4 Products. They were featured on The RV Geeks.
