LED Replacements for interior and exterior lights

We had quite a thread going in Quartzsite about LED replacements for the trailer's interior and exterior lights. Dave Andersen and Robbie Simons, who are very much into using solar panels, batteries, and inverters to power their trailers, bought a number of LEDs to replace several types of lights in the trailer.

The existing light bulbs, which are mostly car types, draw quite a bit of power and generate a lot of heat. The replacement LEDs draw a little over 10% of the current, which means less heat, and are nearly as bright. The white LEDs are now available in several shades of white from cool (more of a blue tint) to natural, whatever that means, to soft, or warm, more toward the red end of the spectrum.

After they had spent a bundle on the replacements, I said, why don't you look at
Super Bright LEDs
on the Internet? I'm not promoting this site because it's been years since I bought anything from them, but it shows what's available and gives a benchmark price for everything. A little searching on the Internet should show other sources and maybe some feedback on this particular vendor.

Sometimes it doesn't seem like the easiest site to navigate, but I found a quick way into the pricing structure. Go

to get directly to pricing for car and RV LEDs.
