Searching the web to no avail. Just bought a stationary RV trailer with 110/120 volts. Where can I find plug in bulbs to change to LED ? All I can find are 12 volt.

Dollarama has the best LED 120 VAC bulbs I’ve seen. Lots of light and good colour.
As has been mentioned several times, the OP refers to "plug-in" bulbs, not "screw-in" bulbs.

Unfortunately he has never returned to expand on his type of bulbs.

The most practical reference for the OP's situation is to pull a bulb out of the fixture and read the markings on it. All bulbs are marked for voltage.
E Bay and amazon are the cheapest source for LED bulbs. If they don't light, check the polarity with a meter or test light. Incandescents light with any polarity, LEDS must have the correct polarity. It uis a matter of switching wires on the fixture.

Those look like regular screw-in bulbs.

Some household CFLs have weird plug in bases, and there are odd bi pin base 120v bulbs used in specialty applications, but I've never seen regular incandescents with plug in bases.

Even dollar stores are now selling 120 volt led bulbs.

I asked that question very first thing, but haven't heard back yet. My concern was that I don't really know of any 120v "plug-in" bulbs, except for small desk-lamp style halogen bulbs.

My ancient 1973 Terry TT had a couple of 120v fixtures, and the rest 12v. But anything even close to modern will have 12v lights throughout.

Every RV that I have been associated with has all 12 volt bulbs. The converter takes the the 120 volt AC and makes it 12 volt DC just like fj12rider said.


Totally Agree!

110/120 volt LED
Lowes
Home depot
Supermarkets
Hardware stores
Mennards
Any "Lighting Store"
I find 'em all over everywhere

NOTE: I have one... Now this is a "Novelty" lamp. (Halloween) Causes MAJOR. and I mean MAJOR Radio frequency interference.

120 volt lamps come in what I will call 3 groups
1: Standard screw in (edison base) like a 60 watt or 100 watt. These are very very common.

Odd size screw in (like a c7 or C9 base (best shot is the Big Box places Lowes/HomeDepot/Mennards

Plug in (I do not know the numbers) same as odd size best shot is the big box. Take either a lamp or a phot (Put a ruler behidn it) with you.

I have a friend in SE Georgia. I upgraded a few of her lights to LED.. Major improvement. not that expensive.. I got two of the lamps at the local Bi-Lo Grocery store.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.
