Here is the 9019 I found. Doesn't look like a BA15S base to me. Glad I suggested to look at the bulb before ordering

Just shows what a picture will do. Something about 1000 words.

the bulb looks the same as the ones posted at the beginning of the thread with the 2 post hooks and solid base like this one.

would these work?

Well... I'm sure wishing I would have done my own google search. My search shows the same bulbs you mention here.

The base "looks" to be a BA15S... in which case... those should probably be an excellent match. The 5W (or so) 24 LED panels with BA15S adapters could be good there too.


It is a pretty odd shaped RV bulb. and the only bulbs that were in that overhead decorative light were the same bulbs as in the typical overhead panel lights that use the 1003 bulbs which are a BA15S not the BA9S that I previously stated. I will just get some and see if they work, if not, I am sure I can find another use for them. I just want something that is comparable in the amount of light (13 watts).

My RV (only owned by me for 10 days) is about 30 minutes from my house at the moment and I did not bring any spares home with me. . .ugh.

I am new to the LED and RV owners world and want to get dialed in for this summers trips. Thanks all for your help.

What LED bulb would replace similar lighting from a 13w Incandescent bulb

I can't find a comparison chart showing these figures. is it 1:10 ratio LED:Incadescent?

1:5... maybe 1:6 at the most

Thanks to everyone and especially KendallP!

I had some LED's in my toy hauler which were a different base than my motorhome now has. So I finally got off my tush and ordered 2 pcs of each of these to test.

24-5050

36-1210

I'm going to try both out and see which I like best before buying 15 more.

Thanks again!

24s should be brighter than the 36s.

36s should be somewhat akin to 1141s.

24s should be more akin to 1156s.

Thanks for taking the plunge! We look forward to your report.

Just added an update to the top of the OP regarding the wattage rule of thumb along with my thoughts on color temperature. Here's a paste of it...


"When searching for LEDs that are comparable to the incandescent bulbs they are replacing, the rule of thumb that I use is 1:5, i.e. a 3W LED bulb will give you roughly the same lumen output as a 15W incandescent bulb. A panel that focuses all of the light where it belongs should beat this a bit... perhaps more like 1:6 or 1:7. So a 3W panel might get you the same output as a 20W bulb or so... maybe.

Also... if you want incandescent color temperature, i.e. if you want the LEDs to look as close as possible to incandescent bulbs in color... look for units in the 3200-3500K range. 6500K is more like "blue white." I have one that is 4200K. It's not too bad, but it is noticeably "bluer" than my 3200K LEDs and incandescents.

As always...

YMMV"

Awesome info!! I didn't see that comparison in a previous post which is why I ordered 2 of each.

Almost all of my overhead and basement fixtures currently have 1141 and I wouldn't mind a little brighter in the bathroom so the 24s will still come in handy.

I'll report back when they arrive and update everyone.


Great thread!!
Thx.
