Upgrade to LED bulbs

[4aSong]

Planning on replacing the 1141 incandescent bulbs in our RV to warm white LED's. Looking at a source for reasonable price and quality.

Don't know if purchasing them from E-bay is a good idea as almost all the LED bulbs listed are from China and quality may be a concern.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'll give another + to superbrightLEDs. Ordered on Wednesday, they hit my mailbox on Saturday.

There are a few ebay sellers that are in the USA. It makes any problems or returns much easier.
I recently bought 70 pieces of G4 leds to replace all of the halogens. I had to return these since the prongs were too short. No problem returning them.

Thanks to everyone for your inputs.

Just ordered four warm white (360 lumens - 3000~3500k - 3 chip 5050 SMD:27 - 1156 BA15S) and will give them a try, Will order additional once we see how these work out.

I buy all my LEDs from SuperBrightLEDs. Most/all of their lights are also from China but they have a 2 year guarantee that works. I had a lead break off one of my lamps when I moved it to a different fixture, I contact them and had a RMA in about an hour. Mailed the lamp back on a Saturday and had a replacement at no charge the following Thursday. If you compare the same style and what appears to be the same output their prices are not that much different than eBay. Being an engineer I like that they have full specs on what they sell, current draw light output, color temperature, etc. Also has a huge selection all in one place. The bonus is they ship cheap and fast.

I replaced my 921 bulbs with the same 36-1210 panels tenbear used. I did order different samples (warm white, bright white, cool white) but went with the warm whites.
I did a bit of preemptive maintenance when I installed them - I ty-wrapped the panels to the fixtures along with using the double-backed tape.

I have replaced all my 1141 bulbs with LEDs. I bought all of them on eBay. Be aware that there are big differences between sellers. Buy a couple to try them out before buying a lot.

These are the panels I bought and I am very happy with them. Clicky

They are also available in larger lots from the same seller.

I have ordered from various ebay China vendors. Normally I will not order from any one (China or otherwise), unless they have a 99% or above rating. Have not been let down yet. Be aware that it is likely that any LED's you buy were made in China.

I had the economy 3128's in my last TT and liked them but they were a bit dim. I have the 5050's now and very happy. Check out the difference in lumens.

I just finished replacing several 921 bulbs with these: EWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649"> 10 LED panels

I received the order in 9 days and free shipping.

Really good product..Plan ahead and the delivery is not a factor. Just remember when replacing all of your lights to led, you can and should reduce your fuse. I went from 15 amp to 5 amp fuse for my lighting. The wiring that comes on these leds is like 22ga. Just a precaution.

I purchased led bulbs from hero-ledstore.com back on 9/3 and I'm still waiting, I have contacted them and they said they are in the mail but tracking (USPS) indicates otherwise! Next time I'll just go to back to super bright leds....pay a bit more but at least I get them!

Buy some very, very expensive ones at some place else.
