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I know that Candlepower is outdated but could you tell me how much THIS lights up inside a camper compared to an 1157?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

If Mexican Customs does not riddle my car with bullet holes trying to pass with a trunk full of cargo. I'll post a report on using -genuine- 10 watt LED chips mounted on a 90 mm spiral heat sink. No way on earth they'll fit inside a standard RV fixture but minds more artistically inclined than mine may find a fixture. The difference between a genuine 10 watt chip and some of those SMD panels is a joke. This includes the 30 and 40 SMD panels which are supposedly the brightest. You know the ones that brag 10 watts but check out at 4.
In the house kitchen I am using a "warm white" 18 watt PAR type lamp. Unbelievably bright. The "warm" part makes eggs over easy, look orangish, but light intensity is incredible. No they did not have a white or cool white option.
Frankly I got tired of charred plastic fixture lenses, and 26 watt CFL's that start out with 10 watts of light. I'll give the nine dollar 26 watt GE CFL's to an appreciative neighbor. My place and my kid's place get LED's. Yeah, when it's 108F I just love pointing my IR gun at a CFL and seeing 172 degrees.
