  1. Glad they worked out for you!

    A few things about these bulbs.

    1) They get hot and the sticky tape on the back starts to warp

    2)The seller deals with different manufacturers and the color can vary.

    3) If you don't want to solder, you can do the lame thing I did. I switched

    the adapter to the festoon end (The bulb comes with 3 adapters) and just

    wedged it in my fixture. Works for now :)

  2. I have a kill a watt power monitor between the shore power and my rv. Noticed that when I have nothing plugged in and no lights on, the monitor says that I'm using around 40 watts of power. Could this be solely the fridge or is there something I'm forgetting?

    Thanks!

  3. krilov...you said..."FYI, The bayonet base that comes with the bulbs are tiny. I didn't notice the measurements, when I first ordered."...do they work in the 1141 sockets OK, or do you have to install some other way??

    Thanks, RVdaytrader

    They don't have the same size base. It comes with the three attachment choices and I put a regular bulb on the right. See the pic below for size comparison.

  4. krilov....how bright are these compared to a 1141 bulb?? At that price I would change all of mine if bright enough!

    thanks,

    I would say they are almost as bright and almost as warm. They are still leds and don't quit match the color/feel of regular bulbs but for such a fraction of the power use, they work great for me.

    I've only had the bulbs for a week, so I can say how they will last long term. For now, they are great. Ordered one to test and just ordered 10 more.

    FYI, The bayonet base that comes with the bulbs are tiny. I didn't notice the measurements, when I first ordered.

    If anyone has a better led source, I'd love to hear about it.

    here's a side by side

    1141 on the left and LED on the right.
