Incandescent to LED

[TR911]

Anyone have a recommendation on light bulbs to replace incandescent with LEDs?? Amazon has a gazillion different ones..
RV 921's
RV G4's

The brighter the better cause I am old ..

Did the conversion on my previous Jayco. I looked at the cheapest bulb with the highest reviews. Got them for about a buck a bulb. Went with this style (not these bulbs). I always go with the bright white. Was very pleased with them.

Thanks Bugzilla...

These were only on the interior lights. I did not upgrade any of the exterior lights.

I went the same route as Bugzilla, I’ve ordered several rounds of replacements. Search for a matching base and pick a replacement based on Kelvin (color), Lumen (brightness) and cost. Google will explain the ranges and meanings better than I can. I’ve bought from Amazon and eBay. I’d suggest ordering extras as mine have have occasional failures, while the actual LED’s may last MANY hours the supporting circuitry doesn’t. This has been my experience. YMMV.

Whatever brand you decide to go with remember that they are polarity sensitive.

Like everyone else I too went with some of the cheapest ones I could find on eBay. All of my sockets were "921" style, so I bought LEDs with the same 921 base.


Like TC mentioned, although they will fit into the socket in either direction, only one is right. The bulb will only light up when the bulb is in the right way. Plug it in, turn it on. If no light, pull it out and flip it over.


Bear in mind: there are valid reports of the cheaper bulbs causing radio interference. The more expensive bulbs will have circuitry that will suppress noise from the bulb. I never ran into this problem; the cheapie bulbs work for me. But, this is an item where you probably get what you pay for.


The more expensive bulbs will have better quality LED chips, probably run cooler, probably have the noise suppression stuff, etc.

Bought these for my porch light. As bright or better than the incandescent bulb with a fraction of the amps used. And now have spares if they go bad. My interior lights were all factory LED except vent hood and rarely use it so didn't bother.
