921 LED Question

[dcmac214]

Toyhauler garage with one dual-921 light mounted on ceiling.

Looking for more light, if possible. Standard 921 bulbs are barely okay. Is there a super-bright LED bulb that will work?

Not yet an LED user, have done a little www research. It appears a lot of them are too hot for most RV applications. I don't want bulbs so hot they'll melt the plastic holder but I don't care if the cap/cover is on or not, which may offer some air circulation & cooling.

LEDs are not hot .... certainly not hot enough to melt plastic, let alone hurt to touch. Your substitute LED for the 921 bulb may be found here: SuperBrightLEDs
I suggest you browse the website a bit. There is considerably more you may want than just the page my link sends you to.

I've never been a fan of the flat LED replacements because the light has been too directional for me. I prefer the 68 SMD direct replacement bulbs for more even light.. Usually get them from eBay. I run all LED lights and never have had a problem with them being too hot.

If you are looking for max brightness look for a 42SMD LED that is the flat panel design and is Bright white. Bright white tend to have an institutional blue/white but are far brighter than white or soft white. But for a garage that may not be a big deal. The flat bulbs tend to distribute light better then the round bulbs.
I am not sure I would worry about heat, mine are way cooler than regular incandescent.
