Installed all LED in our last trailer, and pulled them when we upgraded to a fiver. Need a few more now to finish out all the fixtures. I paid about 3 times what they cost now, and that was only about 3 years ago. Prices have come way down. Ebay is your best source, but do your homework.

Are you happy with those? They don't give a lumen spec, but with only 12 LED they are probably not close to a 921 incan.

They are bright. 5050 SMD LED's have 3 LED's in each light.

Expect to spend $15 to $25 to get a decent led bulb that puts out adequate light and a warm white light . By adequate light I mean 220-300 lumens. A lot of the "white" lights are refered to as "alien autopsy". I have yet to see anyone sell anything on Ebay that meets the qualifications of warm white and 220+lumens for less than $15. The camping world lights are either junk or overpriced or both.

I would not buy a light unless you know the lumens and the seller advertises it as warm white and also shows the current draw. A decent led putting out about 250 lumens will draw about 3.6 watts. Most of the Ebay lights fail to describe either the lumens, draw, or color. A "white" light is an "alien autopsy" light.

And a lot of "warm white" LED's are too yellow. I personally prefer to stay closer to "daylight" (5000K) vs. "warm white" (2700K).

I changed mine out several years ago. My main reason is that they are so much cooler. The old bulbs gave out a lot of heat.

I have the lights that zztinker talked about. They work great. You can figure 7 lumens per light so the 36 light module (7x36)= 252 lumens. That compares very well to the 264 lumens of the #921 incandescent bulb. I think it is plenty bright enough, but the same seller also has a 48 led module.

I've replaced the 921 bulbs with these;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180754222465?ssPageName=STRKEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

They are a warm white, 2900-3000K color temperature, less yellow than some of the 3000-3500K color temperature units. They are brighter than the 921 bulbs I replaced (incandescent light output decreases rapidly with age).

And these;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180776723816?ssPageName=STRKEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

A nice bright, 6500-7000K light, used in the kitchen and below storage areas.

Don't have a lot of time on them but so far I'm very pleased.

I picked up 23 of these on Ebay from this seller, he shipped them fast and they all worked and continue to work to this day.
