LED Lights Installed

[drkminwa]

You need 2 of the 9LED Super Brites at $22ea and buy a couple of the $.25ea sheets of 3M brand double sided tape when you place your order.

The 9LED version produces more light than the 24 or 36 LED version.

I'm looking at bulbs that plug into the existing socket. Are they similar? They are from

here

Thanks

My take on the LED scene is that because LED's put most of their light straight out the tip, you need to use the circuit board style and double stick tape it so the LED's are facing down at your floor.

The LED "tail light bulbs" that you see there are not meant to be run continuously, like a light bulb is, and, they are meant to put most of their light out the end, facing the lens on your brake lights, turn signals, etc. in your car.  So they wouldn't be very good at lighting the inside of your camper from overhead in the ceiling.

Installed my 9LED Superbrites tonight and I'm very pleased with the results.  I replaced all 4 overhead bulbs, and the porch light.

I installed my new LED lights........I must say....I'm not impressed with the brightness. They're OK. I think it will just take a little getting used to.

We definitely had to turn on every light in the camper while working in there. Even at that, I can run every light with less draw than one of the old style.

I think you should have a few reg. lights inside it's the color or something that just isn't right and It'll take lots of getting used to.......Just my two cents worth....

Ditto Here also but not tonight, also put a Amber one in the porch light and the light I installed on the street side, I put a small single LED...All works great.!!!

Was at wal mart and in the trailer section the had a L E D Marker light..on clearance for $5.00  I bought 2 and thought i woud change out the leds  to white ....they were amber.   Went to radio shack and bought 4 new Leds  (4 pin high brightness white)and swapped them out....worked ok but not bright enough....oh well maybe put it out side...Also at home depot they had a solar clamp on light...its about 6x3....it fits perfect on the rail under my steps....so now we can see going  in and out....  : )

I could use that solar clamp on light. Looks like a trip to Home Depot is in my future. Thanks for the info.

So, if I have this correct, I can buy four units to place in my 2006 cheyenne at $21.95 each?  A little less than $100 for the interior?

Yes, each 1156 bulb you replace with a 9 LED unit will cost you $21.95.....plus shipping, and buy some of their 3M double sided tape while you're at it.

Hi and thanks for your response.
I see elswhere that someone replace only one bulb in each fixture.  In that way, when you move to the first position, the led light will come on but when you move to the second position, the conventional bulb will light.  In this way, you have low voltage, lower light and the option of a brighter light when desired.  I may try this both ways once I move my camper out of winter storage.  I will likely experiment with the outside light first.

1156 vs 9 element led


1156


9 ele


1/2 to 1/4 as bright as a standard 1156 IMO but uses 1/10 the power.

I am ready to do this mod. Do you recomend the cool white or warm white LED.

 
Also. I believe I have the 1156 bulbs in my 2005 Fleetwood Niagara, can anyone confirm, so I do not need to pop up the camper?
