I replaced some of the interior lights with led lights, the ones over the stove and center of the ceiling I left the original bulbs. Has anyone found a reasonable replacement for the 1141 bulb in the outside light ? I am afraid to leave in on overnight due to the heat produced by these incandescant lights. Camping world would probably want $23.00 plus shipping, I bought some bulbs from china real reasonable, like $2.00 each, but lost the e mail site.

I bought a 12' string of yellow LED lights to hang outside close by or under the dome from Target. I'm hoping it will create a more gentle light at night.

I am very interested in the LED replacements for some of the bulbs inside.  Can you give me some details for a Google search?  Not sure what I'm looking for. Thanks

Bill, go to the search feature on this sight and type in led lights there are several posts with the e mail address, the company is in china, they sent them direct to me from china, I think the bulbs were only 2 or 3 dollars each, I got them quickly and they work well, but the light is kind of bluish white, ok for the shower area and bed areas but i like the incandescant bulbs over the stove and center of the pod it is more natural and a little better illumination.

We did this type for inside the camper, and in fact I think from this seller..

LEDs

They are white/blue compared to the factory incandescents, but they use way less power.. which is what we wanted. If we turn on every light, we are now using less electricity than if we only had on the stock over sink light.

We used 12 emitter panels everywhere except over the sink, where we used 24's, and of course on the porch, where we used a twist in style, forget the number, has 12 I think.
