How Much Power Savings using LED's?
Just purchased 4 warm white LED panels with 20 5050 LED's. Wanted to experiment with these on my TT before purchasing more. Anyhow, one 20 5050 LED panel wasn't nearly as bright as the original 92...

I waited for a few years before replacing all the lights with LEDs. I didn't like the focused light and the bluish color. Eighteen months ago when I added solar power, I replaced all the 921 bulbs with Warm White 36 1210 SMD LEDs. These are very close to incandescent in color (3000 to 3500K) and the same brightness or slightly brighter. Measurement with the Trimetric shows they use 25% power of the incandescent bulbs. No LED failures, sticky back tape failures or radio interference as some have reported with other LEDs. They are rated 12 - 14 volts, but I have run them at close to 15 volts at times when the temp compensated solar charger is in absorption mode. Replaced 25 bulbs for $120.
