LED comparrison

[Horizon170]

I know that Candlepower is outdated but could you tell me how much THIS
lights up inside a camper compared to an 1157?
Thanks

I think it would be about equivalent to the bulb it replaces. Note: this LED lamp comes with a regulator circuit that may cause some electrical interference to some radios and TV's.

Amazon these days is a new Ebay, only more expensive. Typically, on Ebay this board costs $5 each, or $10 for a pack of 4-6. Amazon item is different from Ebay boards not in quality (hard to believe in this), but in that it has plastic cover that goes around the back and rigid-mounted 1156 connector, while Ebay boards are self-adhesive with 1156 male connector on pigtail. I am not sure that plastic cover is better though. Contrary to what seller says, there is quite a bit of heat from boards of that size.

You generally get what you pay for in LEDs.

Assuming we can trust this information - fly by night Chinese maker definitely should be trusted, right? 🙂 - 250 lumens is the same or slightly brighter than incandescent 20W RV bulb. It can also be yellow-er or pink-er, or blue-er, or it can have 1/10 of advertised brightness. Happened many times. This is why people here prefer not to pay more than $1 or 2 a pop. Check Ebay for SMD 48.
