what bulbs do you guys need?
its 1157 bulbs right?
Im working on getting WARM WHITE colored bulbs
thanx for the help
KB-

I believe it is the 1156 bulb... 1157 is stop, tail and turn, 1156 is single element.

i think your right
1156 would be on/off on your interior lights

can some one give me a count of how many lights you would like to convert to LED?
on your interior please
KB-

why, all of em, of course... mine is a 27' Cherokee(forest river) and it takes a total of 14 bulbs if you were to change them all out at one time.

This is a good idea. They already have a long life, but they get so hot when running them.

I have a 19ft and it has 10 inside, what a bout a bright white along with the warm, maybe they will be bright enough so you could run less lights and still be light enough inside? Do you think these would work for the outside patio light by the door?

I have a 38 ft fifth wheel and I have 16 bulbs inside I think.....might be 18...but that is not counting the lights under the cabinets..the little reading lights. No need to change those. I would order 20 though just to have some spares. What is something like that going to run...?

yup, for sure on the inside.
they will fit, but the way they shine prob wont be enough light to use on the outside.
I wish I had a way around this for the outside lights.

price will be up in 10 mins
feel free to call me with questions

I have a 12" X 6" led setup I want to put outside for a work light, it is very thin and has a ton of led's in it, we'll see how it works. I think we bought it from Peterson Lighting, but I forget.

John

Jeopardy theme,,,,,I have 4 right off the bat that I would change,,probably more

so far the best price I got is 10 pcs for $50 shipped

edit- they shine in EVERY direction

got any pics Kyle?

sure do-

hello????

so that bulb will draw how much LESS power than a standard incadecent light bulb? Will you notice a difference by replacing the majority of the interior lights? Also..just to clarify these are the SOFT WHITE for inside correct?

I'm looking right now, I need 22

YES
these are Soft white- "no Blue"
yes the power drops down A LOT!
you will notice the battery the longer life on your house batteries
these are only 1.1w each!
I have LEDs on the outside of my house that I NEVER SHUT OFF!! since the power draw is sooo low
these are GENIUS for toy haulers!
KB-

edit--- your factory bulbs use- 26.9w each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! do the math!

They only come in packages of 10 or can odd numbers be ordered?

but how many house batteries are you running? (my idea of funny)

I have 4 lights that are WAY too bright and cook (under the side cabinets) so these may be the answer for me. I gotta count how many total I need. I have a low celing too so I may change the overhead bulbs as well

no I can add singles in, but they are more than $5 per bulb
its the best I can do. Give me a number and I can get best cost for ya
KB-

going to count tonight...I'm going to replace all of them in the trailer....hate those hot bulbs. i am also going to do clear covers so the LOW setting is all that's needed....

I got a HUGE deep-cell in the back yard Matt!
its the size of a helicopter buddy
thats how I roll!
KB-

who will be the first?

Actually I put an LED in my porch light and like it much better than the old bulb. I also replaced the 2 rear ramp bulbs as well.

I used to have to run the floods to get more light outside the trailer, but the LED gave me just enough light that I could turn off the floods and save a lot of power.

thanks for the imput Socal

bump this thread UP!

How many lumens are those bulbs???

208-215 Lumens :EACH:

Kyle -
I would need 18 of the 1056 style
I might have missed this but how much current draw vs. light output?
1156 bulbs draw ~2.1amp, I assume the LED would be much much less

Yes, I was wrong earlier-

1156 is-
26.9w
2.24amp

the LEDs are- 1.1amp

I'll be the first, I want 10, please. What kind of warranty do they carry? And is that $50 shipped to me, here in Tucson? Or, are you going the SSSS? I could pick them up there, either way.

LIFETIME BUDDY!
all my stuff does
PM me your email, and Ill write it up
not going to ssss

PayPal?

PayPal???????

Kyle -
Paypal and I'm in for 10 too?

Damn Kyle I just converted my whole trailer to led earlier this year and it was alot more than this!!!!!

i am in for ten kyle . paypal me . tim

We changed out all the kitchen lights for LED lights.. Like the crisp white better than the yellow glow and the power usage is nodda..
They are a floods with 9 LEDs in each.. Kind of pricey, but pretty nice..
Kyle, Sending you a PM..

hmm................i will hit you up when im back to work and have the extra money to spend on the TH

everyone that wants these, just PM me your email address
and I will write up a PayPal invoice and send away!
Ill get after it in the morning!!

I love LED's but let me be the stupid one. So cal or Kyle set me straight. Let's say I want to burn 8 1056's for 5 hours vs. 8 leds's for same period. Okay, 1/2 the power usage, but 2.2 amps vs 1.1 amps, what does that mean in terms of battery power actual consumption. If i started with 12.5 V reading on my battery bank of 4 6volts, on either setup, what would my voltage read be after burning both type bulbs for the same 5 hour period. It's the only way to know whether I should drop the hundi on all my light bulb conversions. What's the read deal bro's?

Well, I think those numbers might be a bit off. The 1156 bulbs burn 2.2 amp, but the LEDs burn considerably less. Maybe these are rated at 1.1 amps, I've seen others rated at less than that.

In your case, you have 440 AH of battery power, but we don't want to discharge below 50%, so you have 220 AH of usable power. You're going to save about 5.5A of current over a 5 hr period, so you'd have 215 AH left instead of 210 AH if you had regular bulbs. Doesn't seem like much. About a 2% reduction.

Especially if you use your inverter, or have the stereo cranked, you'll use a lot more power out of that than the bulbs. For people with just 1 or 2 batteries and kids who leave lights on all over, LEDs make more sense.

I switched to LED in the most often used locations inside and the porch lights because I wanted less heat in the light fixture and lower power consumption, especially in the porch light which might be on 8 or 12 hrs per night.

Thanx for taking that question Socal.
also, remember, the more lights you convert... the faster the numbers drop!
if you do the math, it makes sense.
$50 for 10pcs is pretty good deal
I'm not making much coin off you guys cuz your all my brothers and I'm just helpin' you steer.

after many years of my dad yelling at me for leaving the light on in the coach,
I now know how vital it is to same every lil bit of power you can!

member brought this to my attention,
((((((SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION))))))))
here is the REAL FACTS of the LED bulbs---

Warm White 1156 LED-
Watts= 2.3
Amp Draw= 0.19
208-215 Lumens :EACH:

if you want directional light,
these are what you might want
they are $60 for 10 pcs
they are 4w each
amps= 0.33333
KB-

That sounds more like it. .19 amps is virtually nothing. 5 bulbs would draw less than 1 amp total.

x2

That sounds like the right current -

I ordered 10 from Kyle to try them out (I need 20 to do them all)

I was looking at my LED whip bulbs that are 4 watt and only draw .35 amps

ya, Im a lil rusty on math.
YOU are the pro socal!
