LED replacement bulbs

[waligators]

Where is the best place to buy LED bulbs? I want to replace my 12v rv bulbs in my wheelhouse. I don't know much about LED's and have never bought them before so what do I need to look for? I have 3 fixtures in my house so six bulbs will need to be replaced. The house is 6'6"x17' so I want bright enough bulbs also. Thanks fellas!

I have tried 3 different style LED replacement bulbs in my Ice Castle. The best solution I've found are called LED Panel lights. The 48-SMD size (1.5" x 2.5" or so size) with adhesive back work awesome in stock dome style ceiling fixtures. You can get them in 3 shades of white (warm, pure & cool). For about $2 ea from the big auction site. They come with an adapter that plugs into the stock bulb receptical & converts to the LED panel in a matter of seconds!

The regular "bulb-style" LED replacements aren't very bright in my opinion...these panel style ARE bright!

Check hsolist. That is where I bought mine from. I believe your ceiling light should be 1141 bulb type.

I agree with outlaw, but then again I think you already know my opinion from Facebook. I could only get 36's into mine though.

Bought my 1141 LED replacement bulbs on an online auction site.

I contacted ice castle and they sell replacement LED's. So does anybody use ice castles LED's? Just wondering if they are bright enough?

The replacement fixtures or just the bulbs?

[waligators]

I contacted them asking if they sell LED replacement bulbs via email, and I got a reply back saying they sell the bulbs. He didn't say anything about the fixtures. I'm going to give them a call and get the price. Be pretty slick for me since I only live 20 minutes away from the Montevideo plant

That'd be perfect for you then.

Why replace the entire fixture when you can just replace the 'bulbs'? I'm telling you...the 48 LED panel conversion is WAY cheaper and INCREDIBLE light output for a $2 ea.! You'll spend $18-$20 per fixture for LED dome lights.

I will try to post pics tonight of my conversion. I will put various bulbs in each 1/2 for visual comparison. I even have all 3 colors too (cool , warm and pure) to compare too. Pure white is my favorite...cool is too 'blue' for my taste,

The full LED fixtures IC has are nice and bright the bulbs are not replaceable in them. The bulbs they sell are worthless.

I bought the LED replacement bulbs off the auction site and find that they are not that bright and seem blue. How much power do the above LED strips use? I looked on the site and could not find that info.

Did I just buy the wrong type?

My ice castle came with all LED lights from the factory and I say they are not bright enough. I have added an additional light and put regular bulbs back in over the cooking area. I like dim light when fishing at night but also like it bright when it needs to be. Not a fan of the LED's from ice castle at this point.
