LED replacement bulbs

What effect is there with the led lights and the radio or tv reception?

Here is what I went with and a base comparison:

Ready to order some more, and I noticed ledtrailerlights.com has a new website... looks pretty spiffy.

EDIT: I just got a Facebook notification that they are having a sale on the RV LEDs. LED Lights on Facebook

You are wise to purchase these on line. I switched all mine over to LED panels. I also have the wedge type. I strongly suggest buying a few of what you think you will like and try them. If you like buy more. We love ours. Now when boondocking we laugh if someone leaves a light on all day and they are much brighter than OEM. We bought ours on Ebay from China.

Ditto.

Well for those who are interested, I went ahead and bought 20 42-SMD warm white LED's from LEDKINGDOM-US on eBay. It was about $30 with shipping (to Canada).
My findings:
1) all bulbs worked and fit fine (they were about the same size as the original 921's in the trailer
2) they are quite a bit cooler than the Incandescent bulbs (but still do heat up though)
3) the Warm White is still fairly white, compared to the originals but not as white as I was expecting
4) the brightness surprised me the most (after reading everything I should not have been too surprised though). I actually considered getting smaller than 42-SMD thinking they may be too bright and am glad I did not. They are noticeably dimmer than the originals, but I found that I have so many lights in the trailer we rarely ever had more than one light on at a time. I downloaded a Lux meter app for my phone to get a rough estimate of brightness. The numbers surprised me the most. The difference, at daytime, with blinds drawn, measured at 1' distance was about 10x. See pics (original bulb on left):



If I was to rate how this experiment turned out I would give it about a 6-7 out of 10. I think it is still a good thing, as I cut my battery use way down, even if I have to run a couple of lights instead of just 1, and for the cost of a couple of bulbs at the more reputable vendors it was still worth doing.
I will retest late tonight to see how I like them.

Do you have a link?

I thought the 5000 was too bright but some like them. You might want to try both and decide I might put a 5000 in the bathroom where there is only one light.

After looking it appears it may cost $200 to $400 for the many dual wedge setups, bunk end fans, exterior porch light, stove lights. I bailed and just use led lanterns, or 12volt plug in LED.

I decided to just buy some exterior campsite add ons this year instead. New purchases: Coleman stovetop/grill, Coleman coffee pot, and wallyworld cooking heavy duty folding table.

Campsite cooking setup now has a coleman skillet, celano grill, coleman exponent folding kitchen, and above added.
Moved all cooking/coffee, food prep to the campsite off the grid/propane. No use of range hood/interior lights, toaster, and screw the single serve keurig.

Inside of ours is packed with dumb lab laying at feet, no room to cook/prep, and kids going nuts.
