Two videos from RV Geeks on replacing incandescent, halogen and flourescent bulbs with LEDs

I have been toying with the idea of replacing our bulbs with the more energy efficient LEDs for a while now. These two videos certainly help make up my mind on which type to get. Plus, not only are LEDs more energy efficient, they are cool to the touch and I've heard they don't attract mosquitoes (has anyone else heard this?).

Enjoy these two videos from RV geeks on replacing your incandescent, halogen and florescent bulbs with LED bulbs.

Here's what RV Geeks had to say about their videos:
The process of converting our RV's lights to LEDs has been a bit frustrating... until now. These videos explain what's been happening.

If you've seen our video about converting our RV's fluorescent lights to LEDs (if not, you can view it here: http://youtu.be/SAMPQrAu0aI), you may have noticed that it's been a while since we've shared any more tips about switching to LEDs. The reason for that is because we've been experimenting with converting our RV's other lights (halogen, incandescent and even other fluorescent light options). But it's been a bit frustrating, since options for LED color and brightness can be confusing, and many suppliers don't accurately convey the information you need to choose the color temperature and brightness you want.

Then we heard about a company on the iRV2 discussion forums called M4 Products. The information on their website was really thorough, and the owner's fast, detailed response to our questions made us confident that his lights would be the right color and brightness.

After so much trial & error, buying from M4 was the best experience we've had so far. Since we were heading toward southern California, where M4 is located, we made an appointment to stop by to see about upgrading more of our lights.

Being a fellow RVer, Steve, M4's owner, was incredibly knowledgeable about LED applications for RVs, and the quality of his products was obvious. We've looked at, and tried, our fair share of LED bulbs, and Steve's are the best quality and best value we've found so far.

The first video about converting our RV lights to LEDs generated a lot of interest and some questions. As a follow-up, here are the details about the exact lights we used, where we show the difference in color among Warm White, Natural White and Cool White LEDs.

Here are the details: We replaced the wedge-base peanut bulbs (921-size incandescent) from over our dining room table with M4's 24-light Main Line 921-24-5050-WW Warm White. We also showed the Elite series as an option, which puts out the equivalent amount of brightness from only 17-lights. That's the 921-17-5630-WW Warm White.

For our halogen replacements, we used the Natural White Elite series: G4-6-5630-SIDE-NW. These bulbs put out the same amount of light as the halogens they replaced, while fitting into the housing without having to remove the reflector. Lights are available in three color choices: Warm White (the warmest), Natural White (whiter than "Warm" and more like daylight), and Cool White, which we did not use anywhere on board as we feel the color is too blue for our taste.

Hope this all helps!
