Led lights

We have a 2013 3402RL and would like to brighten up the lighting above the sink and counter. Anybody swap out factory bulbs for something brighter maybe led? Is there a site where I can find out what is compatible. Thanks Marty

I did that recently. LEDs give a brighter, whiter light, and really help battery life when not hooked to shore power. Check RV LED lighting on Amazon.com.

LED

I changed every light in our 2955RL with LEDS most were bought on amazon and the reguler size bulbs were bought at home depot. We have solar and boondock alot so these LEDS really save on the battery bank.

I've found that the pancake style work best in those old style RV fixtures. They throw all the light downward instead of every which way. Also, don't get the 'warm' type if you want bright.

X 2 on the pancake leds, I bought 10 pancakes and 20 of the longer bulb type leds and wish I would have bought all pancakes.

We replaced all the lights in our 2010 with LED's of different brightness.

The ones from M4 throw out over twice the light of the regular bulb and use a fraction of the power.
