Super bright leds store,

Super Bright LEDs - Store

has lots of different configs available too. My camper has a pair of lights that I think have screw in bulbs, E12-W3: Cool White LED bulb, I think I will check tonight and order me some of these soon, thanks for telling us about them! each light might be or seem expensive, but it really is bad when battery is dead when I get up the 2nd day of camping (when the kids wont shut lights off. I think it will be worth it.

No problem, I was on the phone and had to run, but googling for (cant recall exactly) for the same results, I found another site, cheaper lights, however I want the "warm" wave-lenght type. Ill dig through browser history see if I can turn up a link, then edit this post..

Ok Ill have to go searching again, it didnt save in my histories? wait, ok found it via AMAZON, unrated seller in google, might be new to market? http://ledwholesalers-com-inc.amazonwebstore.com/

I had ordered LED bayonette type 1157 bulbs from Deal Extreme.
1157 led - DealExtreme
I should have checked the brightness before I ordered them as they were not bright enough to really read by because the light was not directed downward. I did put one in my outside light and it works fine. Two others went into the posts on my boat trailer. One never worked.
I like the idea of the cards like Gord and Jack did. We haven't had too much trouble with battery drainage because when we read or play cards we have battery powered lanterns. The light is better and it just seems more like camping.

Word of warning about "cheaping - out" too much on LED's lights... Someone I work with did this on his truck, bought them for something like $3 each on the "bay". Put them in his truck and one shorted out and melted the tail light board long before it blew the fuse in the truck.

I got a much higher quality light off amazon and spent ~$9 each and haven't had any issues at all with them.

His were plastic with a metal band, mine were metal like regular bulbs (1157).

Fuses and LED's don't react quite the same as regular bulbs... LED's draw much less power so the fuse may not react at all if there is a short or something wrong, but the damage can be done in wiring and sockets...

Thanks for the information. I hadn't thought about the lower amperage of LED lights. I converted to 24 LED flat panels and they are working very well for us. At one sixth the wattage of incandescent bulbs it would be wise to use lighter fuses in the light circuit.

Isn't it a circuit breaker? If it's a fuse, I agree, go with maybe 1/3 - 1/4 the wattage of the OEM fuse. (I don't think you want to reduce it all the way to 1/6.)

I haven't looked for replacement circuit breakers, but they must exist.

I believe all the interior 12 volt circuits are fused. I think the light circuit is 15 amp, if you have all your lights converted you may want to drop to maybe a 5 amp. The 120 volt are breakers.

I found some high quailty led light bulbs, I'm using 1 of these now and hoping to get more in the future (I'm thinking christmas wish list).The problem is the high cost and trying to find them bright enough and the color range .
The lumens is the brightness ( I like to be above 300)
The kelvin is the color (3,000-3,500 for warm white which I perfer) or (5,000 to 6,000 for bluish white)
Check Ming¡¯s Mark Inc
The best price I found doing a search was $16.98 each at dyersonline.com

I'd say steer clear of any electronics that are made in China. You are asking for trouble.
