LED Light Bulb Question????

I bought two packs of LEDs they are both as bright or brighter than the 12 volt incandecent bulbs.

The second batch has more segments so it is brighter.

I find all the LED to be harsher than incandesent, even the so called natural colored light.

I also find ALL the TT lights are pale in comparison a good 75 watt desk lamp.

What ever style or color of LED lights you end up using, you will appreciate the low draw on batteries. I have a digital amp draw meter from my surge protector. It is currently reading 3 amps draw for the fridge and converter. I turned on every LED light in my rig ( about 20 bulbs ). and there was no increase in amps to run them all.

Thanks for the info so far.

I know I have some of the push-in 921's. I also have some round base push in and twist with odd bulbs shapes. These are in the bathrooms over the sink and in the bed room over the headboard. Haven't looked for numbers on them.

I just didn't know for example if you have a 1156 standard it was replaced with a ????? LED. Sounds like its personal preference.

In my opinion the 1156 is fairly equal to the 48 smd. I think the 48 is brighter. Just a change you have to get used to. After installing the leds we got used to them in about 2 days.

Found wife does NOT like 7000K arrays so went to 3200K and she who must be obayed is Much happier.

D and A plus 6,
I went to the local RV dealer's store with an incandescent bulb from an interior fixture and asked "what's closest to this in an LED?". The ones they had are a tower shape, warm white (about 2700k) and 210 lumens. I started with one LED and one incandescent in the same fixture and you can barely tell the difference. The LED is a bit brighter. It was a good recommendation & choice.

The big benefit to us is the LED bulbs are much cooler. We have three fixtures on the bottom of kitchen & storage cabinets. The incandescent bulbs kept the cabinets warm enough that we could not store bread in them - the bread would mold. With the LED bulbs there is no cabinet heating and no mold on the bread. We swapped bulbs to make the cabinet & food storage more flexible and more usable. Reduced power usage was a bonus, but not the main reason for our switch.

I think krobbe is on the right track, I know a lot of folks prefer the higher K lights but it just bugs me. And thanks for including the scale. using the scale you can compare apples and oranges, there are also several scales that have a comparison of incandescent and LED lumens to incandescent lumens.

At less than $2/bulb on Ebay, buy several different ones and SEE how you like them. I like the warm white for inside and bright white outside.

RWBradley, nice review. I guess my biggest deal is on the covered fixtures the LED's are fine, but I have several open ended fixtures and don't like the look of the LED's, rather look at the bulbs.

Here is a LED color chart.
My preference is warm white.
I replaced all my incandescent with 48 and 36 panels in warm white.
