Replacement for RV bulbs – 1156 3.5W 68-SMD LED 310-Lumen 6500K Brake/Backup White Light Bulbs (Pair/DC 12V) Reviews

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 week to 1 month

Pros:
Used as a replacement for the original 1141 bulbs in our RV. Uses 1/10 of the current draw (0.140A for this 1156 LED vs 1.4A for 1141). At 310-lumens this bulb is quite a bit more light output than a typical 1141 bulb at around 104 lumens.
Cons:
Not really a con, but be careful handling them as they do not have a protective enclosure around them.
Other:
Bottomline:
Its a great price for my application, and works well. The bulbs come wrapped individually in foam and then packaged in a small ziplock bag. shipping is done in a bubble pouch. No issues with shipping.
