Dan,
Thanks for putting together this documentary on your LED conversions, very well done! It is informative and provided insights that are quite useful. My primary objective for LEDs in my AS is to eliminate the heat of the incandescent and halogen bulbs. I may do the whole monty in my 28 footer but will do a test to get the colors right.
Safe travels . . . .

Thanks for this article. I have an 07 25ft FB. I tried earlier LED versions four years ago and my wife found them to be too dull and yellow (warm white 9 LED) or too bright and blue (bright whites). She preferred (insisted) on keeping the halogens.

Now it seems the choices are much better and I’m ready to try it again.

Hi Jerry, 8 people in a 19 ft Bambi and cooking at the same time? That is a full house! We typically only boondock too when we are en route at a walmart or truck stop. But now we have solar panels and LED lights, we are going to be doing a lot more of it. I was always envious of people who didn’t need to be tethered. I think replacing them as you go is a good idea. I would recommend doing all of the ones in the same circuit. That’s usually 2 or 3 of them. It will give you the option of using only LEDs when boondocking to save power.

Thanks Dan,
I will eventually replace my old lights as they burn out. Since I only boon dock en route to my next plug in site, it isn’t a big issue.
But the heat savings does appeal to me, as I had eight people in my ’19 Bambi in 100 degree weather, the AC did struggle a bit.
I had to pull out my little tabletop fan, because I was cooking a meal as well.
