Title: LED replacement blubs
Post by: colddog on November 04, 2017, 09:58:05 am
I have a 2014 LD.   I have wondered the Internet  looking for a 'warmer' color led.   

First is there anybody with the part number and second were can I find it?


Thank you for any time spend .....

I have used Super Bright LEDs RV LED Lights | Super Bright LEDs (https://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/rv-led-lights/) for a number of projects. They do a good job speccing the Light temperature of LEDs. I replaced all lights but one on our LD, and found new fixtures to preform better than bulbs alone, but there are some replacement bulbs that really do a good job. I found that replacing the T6 fluorescent bulbs with a single LED tube worked well, but saved very minimal amps. Color was the main gain here.

Like Paul, I've been really pleased with Superbright.  I used them as the source of LED bulbs to convert our camper, the tug, and the little oddball dash illumination lights (odd-sized festoon bulbs) in the 1978 Landcruiser.  Their selection is extensive and when you receive a bulb that isn't quite correct, their customer service is helpful and they take stuff back and will resend a better choice.

Instead of changing the LED lights to make them warmer, I went with a simpler solution.  I used a color correction gel meant for photographers.  I purchased a large sheet and then trimmed it down to fit inside the LED light fixtures in my Lazy Daze.  Cheap and easy :)

I have no experience with this product, but I do know filters are inefficient, as they selectively absorb a range of wavelengths, which defeats some of the point in using LED lights. These emitters have a rather peaky and narrow range of spectral emission, which means that unlike color correction for incandescent lamps, you will lose a greater percentage of the bulb's output. Your current consumption will not rise, but the lumens output will fall. A good broad-spectrum photo light meter would give you a useful indication.
