Upgrade LED

Might have been addressed. Upgrade 921 LEDs, 360 or flat. Standard RV ceiling light fixture. One over the other for the most light. K rated the same. Just design difference.
  • Excuse me for saying "standard" Should have said maybe " usual" or something like that. Thanks for the replies.
  • I agree, there's no such thing as a "standard" light fixture in an RV. My own Freedom Express has single and dual lens light fixtures originally fitted with incandescent 921 bulbs so I replaced them with these 921 LED bulb versions from this offshore vendor ... been running them for over a year now and couldn't be happier with them - bright and just the right colour, ~ 3200K. :B

  • I would go flat. Check the lumens for brightness. Need 250 to 400 to be as bright as the incandescent.
  • We found the flat & also the ones labeled bright or daylight were better than the ones marked soft white.
  • You probably want a light with 18 to 24 5050 leds. What form factor depends on your light fixture, there is no such thing as one standard RV ceiling light fixture. There is also the matter of color. Incandescent lights emit a warm white light. some people like a whiter light or even a blueish color.

    Suggest you buy 1 or 2 and see what you like before buying a whole bunch.
