LEDs

[pwb01]

Follow this link, you'll see the Revolution wedge 160 and 194. I bought 2 of each. I wrote Star Lights and asked what to replace a 921 with and they told me the 160. I thought I remembered 200 lumens but the email said they were coming out with a 200 lumen bulb later this year. The 194's I bought at Alpin Haus. They're not as bright as what I replaced but bright enough. I think I found the better price at Dyers though. They do press in hard as one review said but they do work. They're not cheap but I think I might buy the 250 next time if I find a good price. The 194 is a white light and the 160 is more yellow like the ones we replaced.

Thanks Paul......

thanks for the help....I think I have narrowed it down to two LED's on www.Superbrightleds.com

WLED-WWHP-10-DAC $14.95 98 lums in warm light
or
WLED-WHP18-TAC = $19.95 and 135 lums in warm light.

Now my question is - has anyone noticed any difference between the flat disc (item 1) and the cylinder type (item 2)???

Thanks
Kathy

Because they are different outputs, it's difficult to say but I think I like the cylinder better. It seems to reflect more light. I have a hard time relating to lumens. I can relate to wattage. I think I replaced 7 watt bulbs and the 160 lumen bulb isn't as bright but bright enough.

Any advantage to using LED's if you are on shore power majority of the time, is the only advantage when you are boondocking.

The only advantage I see is that they use less power, run cooler and last longer. Because of the cost, other than saving the battery I don't see any real advantage.

Thanks Paul....I ordered two disc type bulb for now, once I get them, we'll check it out and possibly go to the cylinder bulbs....the disadvantage of those is they may not fit in the light fixture, according to the customer service rep at SuperBrightLeds.com

I think Steve has some LED's too so we'll do a comparison in Old Forge in September and we'll all know what works best. See you then.

I was hoping to have them for this weekend...going to A-Bay NY but I ordered them too late, we leave Thursday and they won't arrive until Friday...but we'll see come September..........

Hi Kathy

Sorry late to your note. I have the flat ones from Superbright. Look like this. I have a pic somewhere of them installed but can't find it right now




They fit in the fixtures well and are above 100 lumines. We went with warm white on these. Be carefull when installing them, push gentle but firm...

It took me 3 years but the total inside and the 1 outside scare light is converted over. In the flood lights I had to go with the cool white as I coudl not find that type in warm white. Since they are used for reading it is better in some ways.

They make are real difference in boondocking.

thanks John. we will be converting over a bit at a time also....perhaps you can list the part # from Superbright for the other lights you replaced.....
