westend,

Go buy some of them and you'll know why! Maybe better that you buy some from both the cheap online dudes and some from the suggested and proven excellent light quality sources and I simply can't wait to here your report. You get what you pay for and get the best price by shopping smartly from an up to date product source.

I'm curious about folk's shopping habits, that's all, not trying to pick a fight.

Why do folks pay $8-$14 a bulb for LED replacement bulbs when there are others available for $2 from online merchants?

Hi from AZ. . . I too used M4LED for my light replacements. No problems, no failures, no hassles. Very knowledgeable folks. I have some daylight, some warm, worked for us Regards, Craig

Living areas inside all 3000K. One 5000K in kitchen dual bulb fixture, all others 3000K. Wife wanted one 5000K in the dual bulb ceiling fixture above the fridge door but now thinks it's too bright so I'll be ordering some more 3000K's soon.

Outside there's one of each in the patio light dual bulb fixture and I left the incandescents of the other 3 sides of the Carriage 5th wheel and on the Lance TC as they are very seldom turned on. Also left all the storage compartment lights with having the incandescents because they are only on when they are opened so not cost or watt saving effective nor cost effective. Besides, I need someplace to use up all the 1156 bulbs I've replaced!

Bought 18 LED's so far and could use another about 20 or more. Sure glad we pared down to 2 RV's now from the 4 we had a couple years ago. How many RV's does a retired oid fart couple need at the same time anyway? One won't do everything for us and two comes so much closer. Yes, we do RV a lot and have for 51 years now and not a thought of cutting down! Also down to only one nice large perfect for retirement home now too, finally. It's h-e-l-l to be old, in years only, pampered duffers but somehow, we'll manage!!!

Travelnutz - did you use all warm white lights? I was thinking the bright ones would be good for the bathroom, porch light and kitchen area while the warm would be good over the bed and seating areas.

Great info on this thread - thanks for sharing

I just replaced all 29 bulbs in my trailer (including porch light) with these:

What a difference in light output! Not to mention the power saving.

Old bulbs were rated at 18W, 1.4A and 160 lumens.
New LED panels are 3.5W, 0.12A and 280 lumens.

Best upgrade I've made so far on my trailer.

Here's the LED post from a before in the TT section:

All the rest of the info is in it.

First week of March I ordered ten LED 10-30V 530 lumen warm white 3000K bulbs and two LED 10-30V 530 lumen bright white 5000K bulbs from: LEDLight.com $7.91 each as the price break is at 10 bulbs and goes from $8.79 each to the $7.91 each price. 5 days UPS from Phoenix, AZ to West Michigan and shipping is free on all orders over $50. The warm whites are simply superb, very bright clean well diffused light, indistinguishable from the 1156 incandescent bulbs that they replaced other than being slightly brighter (more light which makes colors brighter and truer). No single eye squinting bright spot with the LED's like with the incandescents when the lense cover was back on both sides.

Our 5th wheel ceiling 12V lights are all 2 bulb fixtures and at first I only changed one side to LED so I could compare the light and color at night when it's dark. We are so pleased that we ordered another 6 and they came to just over $50 so the shipping was also free and they're here too. One of the two bright white LED's are for one side of the fixture over the kitchen sink/range area with the warm white LED on the other side of the double bulb fixture. Switch turns on the warm white LED at first notch an both LED's on the second notch. Outstanding light combination! Best of both worlds for cooking and food preparation etc. The other bright white LED is for the double bulb patio light. Same combo arrangement of LED's there too.

S25 27 SMD 5730 10-30V AC-DC Product Code: 25454 Have to select color wanted and base type. So happy we're going to order 14 more of the same LED's from them for our Lance TC now.

We used the standard 1141/1156 base as it's a direct replacement. Simply switch out the bulbs and you're done!

Before you buy any LED replacements etc, you ned to learn or know the important real details, very easy to quick learn, of bulb and actual light output, not rocket science, such as:

Light temperature, meaning the color as seen by the human eye. The measurement is expressed in kelvin or K. 2700K-3000K is warm white or soft white which is more desireable for living rooms/bedrooms/bathrooms/etc where bright stark white light like office "cool white" 4100K flourescent bulb lighting generally used wouldn't be very pleasant. 2700K has more of a yellowish/orangeish light look than 3000K and appears slightly brighter. Which K level is up to the person's wants or desire. K level is K level regardless of 12V DC or 110 AC bulb used.

Next step in going brighter white than 4100K is approx 5000K and is generally espressed as "daylight" or "bright white" light. Too shrill for livingrooms or bedrooms for sure but some like one or two of these type in the kitchen where food is prepared as colors appear much truer. Either the 2700L, 3000K, or 5000K will work for the patio. Your choice! We use one 3000K and one 5000K as we have 2 fixtures, each having their own switches. Give us the best of both bulb attributes as and when wanted. Actually have the same mixture in the kitchen sink/range area also in the dual bulb fixture and it's gives awesome lighting.

Next is the "lumens" of actual light the bulb puts out. 200 lumens vs 400 lumens vs 500 lumens etc for the 12V bulb. Think of it as the difference between what you see when using a 40W vs a 60W vs a 75W 110 AC bulb in the same fixture.

More lumens output means more watts or amps consumed but don't be misled as LED bulbs use only 1/6 to 1/10 of the actual watts or amps that the same light output incandescent bulbs do and they last 15 to 25 times as long before failure. Also do not lower in lumen output or color with aging during use like CFL flourescent (curlyque) bulbs do and some incandescents.

Personally, didn't like the light output from the flat board type LED replacements as the light given was not spread evenly like the incandescent bulb they replace. Therefore went to ALL round cylinder type and they are fabulous with very well dispersed light in all directions.

Best I've found by far and most price effective are from LEDLight.com on the Internet. I'll look up the link and post it and the actual page with the product no. and cost breakdowns per quanity in the next post in a couple minutes as it's all on one of my other puters here at home. I'd posted the info in another thread on this forum about a week ago with lots of details given.

My interior bulbs are 1141 I believe but not sure as for the outside porch light or the oven hood light... looks like I may have to make a trip out to storage. ...
