I am having a heck of a time finding LED wedge base bulbs for my trailer in a real world store, rather than buying them online. (I prefer real stores -- it is easier to return merchandise if needed, and they employ real people in my area.)
Camping World has a few bulbs, but their selection is not great. Does anyone know of an alternative?
Thanks!!
Why are you stuck with limiting yourself with sticks and bricks stores, they (the management of these stores) simply do not care about what their customers want or need. Instead, they allow their stores computer systems spit out the orders based on what is popular based solely on sales numbers.
12V LEDs simply does not hit high on their purchasing list.
The result is limited qtys and extremely poor quality of what they are willing to buy and stock and then they will glady charge you 10 times what they are worth.
You need to shift into the modern world when it comes to specialty items.
Amazons returns are dirt simple and painless, the only time that may not be the case is some of the third party vendors (READ THEIR RETURN TERMS BEFORE ORDERING).
I have been forced to depend on online purchasing from Amazon and other non stick and brick businesses for better part of 10 yrs because my local stores simply do not carry what I need or want.
The sticks and bricks by maximizing inventory turns by limiting to only what sells are slowly putting themselves out of business and they don't seem to care either..
Walmart is OK for picking up a new pair of jeans or a simple T shirt or perhaps a gallon of milk, anything else, forget about it, mine doesn't have it, or stock it and has no plans to ever do so.
My local Walmart has very few 12V LED lights and the ones they do have are not efficient and only come in 6K color temps..
Online you can pick out from thousands of vendors with higher efficiency and the color temp you want for a reasonable price and heck it shows up at your door in a matter of a couple days..
