I bought my LEDs at superbrightleds, and I prefer the warm, feel of these, and replaced my outdoor lighting and above my bed with:

1156-WW18-T Warm White 19.95

Although not bright enough for reading in bed. I prefer these for above the bed:

1156-WW45-T 1156 Warm White

Every single light in my camper is now LED tomorrow I will do an amp reading for every one with every LED burning I can tell you what it was with the 1156's it was 320 watts or a whopping 27 amps! I personally can't do cool white because of the extreme blue except in the work shop I find them busy not at all relaxing. The higher end of the spectrum is better for us older guys eye sight but I still don't like it. A 15 chip LED is pretty close to the output of a 10 watt halogen all though the lumens are lower the light is projected where you need it not 360* In my case I replaced the fixtures, mine are all flush mount I just could not deal with the plastic fixtures so the replacement bulbs were out of the question I found some flush mount G4 base lamps and replaced the 10 watt halogens with 15 chip LED's pretty much plug and play some are custom ones I made and 8 new ones with LED's I found on line.

I did get around to checking the current of my LED's today and here are the results. The 1156 bulbs (13) drew 27 amps. A picture is worth a thousand words the first one is about the amount of lighting I use at night the second is 15 LED fixtures running all at once.

Yup, amazing what little they draw.

Thank you for your research. Its confirmation for me . We just got our solaris today. Get to check out the furnace tomorrow, then verify fridge full functionality. Does anybody know if the heating pads work on the solaris tanks systems. Want to do some cold weather trips?

They should, ours were installed at the factory and work great. We've been down to single digits over night without any freeze up. Just remember to bring in your water hose at night it's not protected.

Where did you purchase yours? I want to purchase some for my most used lights, the silver lights over the bed and the exterior porch light

I have a T-1950 so I am assuming the replacement bulbs are are same for all Sunlines??

If they had the halogen bulbs it is a G4 base there are two types it depends on the pin location one is in the side the other is on the top so you would need to buy accordingly. The porch light will be either bayonet or a push in you'll have to look.

Thank you! Did your purchase from Superbright?

For what is is worth I purchase any of my LED's from Super Bright.....I have had excellent shipping & customer service with them!

Bay a few bucks more but it is worth it!

I got some from Amazon mentioned by Paul in this thread: http://www.sunlineclub.com/forums/f6...ale-15410.html

Here is a link to the bulbs: http://www.amazon.com/GRV-24-3528-Su...ds=GRV+25-3528

The 3528 bulb is not as bright as the 5050 bulb but work well for me where I used them.

It's a very competitive market SuperBright is a good outfit but pricey there are deals out there but I would stay away from a reseller that sources them from China like a lot of ebay sellers do. Most come from China any way but a lot of the seller don't stock them they have them sent from China and you may wait a month to get them if at all.

I just measured my interior overhead lights and the inside of them is only 4 1/2 inches.

The ones mentioned as being purchase are
GRV T10 921 194 24-3528 SMD LED Bulb lamp Super Bright Cool White DC 12V Pack of 10

They measure Product Dimensions 5.8 x 3.6 x 1 inches

So apparently the lights of a T-1950 are not the same dimension as other larger Sunline models?

GWildey · 09-02-2014, 01:47 PM

The warm light is very similar to the same color as the incandescent bulb. It is typically around 4500k. The cool light is more of a blue color. The they are typically around 6000-7000k range. The higher the 'k' value the bluer it will be all the way into the purple range. You will notice this on some of the headlight car conversion kits.

mainah · 09-02-2014, 04:02 PM

The UV drives me nuts with the high color temp bulbs it's just too blue for me that color temp is bright sun light and the lower temp 3 to 4 thousand K is more like home lighting. The cool white will give you more light but not a huge amount more it's personal preference. The cool white is great in flash lights!

Something does not sound right here. I cannot see that little wedge base unit being 5.8" x 3.6". The entire box of 10 might be 5.8" long.

This site says GRV T10 921 194 24-3528 SMD LED Bulb lamp Super Bright Warm White DC 12V Pack of 10 | Led Lights Bulbs

Diameter:0.99in length:1.65in

Which sounds more like the shape it is.

Joan, the lights in your camper are the same as mine. The Sunline standard ceiling lights of that vintage. I think the 2006/2007 models or somewhere in there they changed from the nice, 2 rocker switch light to a 1 rocker switch light. Nana (Poppy and Nana) had the new ones on her T2499 and really like the prior 2 switch version.

Hope this helps

John

Hi! 1st post. We have a 1994 T1700 Saturn Sunline and we replaced all the pancake lights with LED pancake lights. Some have overheated and blacked - so we don't dare use them. Any suggestions or ideas?

The LED's or the old ones? The LED's should not get hot. The old fixtures did often burn the lens.
