Replaced all my 1156 bulbs with starlight 300 lumen rotating bulbs.
Stock incandacent bulb uses 1.60 amps at 13.42v = 21.4 watts.
Starlight 300LM bulb uses .25 amp at 13.42v = 3.3 watts
They use 6.5 times less power.
Now the heat.....
Trailer AC at 79 degrees,
Incandacent bulbs with cover on , 150 degrees F.
LED with cover, 92 degrees.
Measured with Fluke dvom and Fluke infrared gun.
