921 LED's

Looking for a good source for warm white LED's that don't provide less light than the incandescent 921's. Any link's? I've taken notes on this, but apparently I need notes to find my notes...

Thanks!

Just replaced all my rv interior lights with these, had bright white LED's about half as bright, must say these are a nice warm white and fairly bright.

I replaced the 921s inside with these: http://www.amazon.com/24-3528-Bulb-S.../dp/B00EDFM5QU.

They are the flat type with a wide voltage range. I liked them better when installed with the LEDs facing the reflector instead of the lens. One place the flat style did not produce enough light for me was the stove hood light where the bulb mounts sideways, so I got this for that one spot: http://www.amazon.com/GRV-57-3014-Si.../dp/B0171L1QMQ.

And looking to get these to replace the 1156 in the outside light by the door: http://www.amazon.com/GRV-BA15S-11-2.../dp/B00EYTNO8S

I've been buying some LEDs from here:https://www.superbrightleds.com/

So far good service and decent bulbs

I used the 3528 leds listed by KJJ in cool white throughout the trailer with the exception of over the cutting areas; island and counter top. There I used the 5050 led (a bit larger). Both types are flat. I initially used the warm white but they were much like the incandescents I was replacing, and I wanted brighter. The cool white are white and much like a fluorescent light. Be SURE and get the 12-28volt vs the 12volt only.

I've replaced all the lights in our Montana with LEDs (save for a couple of ones we next to never use). One thing I've discovered is DON'T go for the lowest price, especially on eBay. I got one batch from someone there and they turned out to be factory rejects. Most only lasted a few months before individual cells started quitting. Paying a bit more for some quality will really benefit you in the long run.

Exactly the reason I suggested Superbright LEDs. Even some of the Amazon pieces I tried in our past 5er turned out to be junk, going to electronics heaven far too soon

Hello, I have a question regarding the above comment: "Be SURE and get the 12-28volt vs the 12volt only."

I simply do not have a great understanding of all things electrical. I purchased an initial supply of two LED 921 bulbs to try out in our trailer. I like them, and was going to purchase enough to change out the rest of the trailer. However, I do see that they are 12V only. What am I losing with a 12V bulb as compared to 12-28?

Thank you.

Our converters put out about 13.5 volts. Some LEDs for 12 volt only have been known to overheat.

Thank you for the reply. Last night when testing the two bulbs (12v only) that I had bought, I did notice that they were generating more heat than I had figured they would, and this puzzled me.

I have now ordered enough bulbs for all interior lights, and made sure to get the 12-28v versions.
