Secret is safe with me. I've been called cheap before but nobody likes my money more than I do (except maybe my kids).

Mark,
did you order these and try them yet? I just ordered the 10 packs (1 w) replacement bulb for now. Curious if you had any yet and how you liked them.

They are literally on a slow boat from China. Delivery Estimate Tuesday, May 27, 2014 - Thursday, June 12, 2014 by 8:00p. How's that for a wide range..

Latest shipping record says they're in Cleveland, but its USPS and no tracking so who knows..

With any luck I'll have them before the end of the month. I'll let you know how they work out.

Going to work on the trailer this weekend. The monsoon we had Monday night left me with some water inside my slide. No leak, just think the 6 inches of rain that came down sideways in 20 minutes was too much for those single pane slider windows.

Saw on CW a 6 pack LED bulbs for $60.00. That seems awfully high. Forget now what they replace.

The set I ordered was 2 bulbs for $13 or pack of 10 for $55.50 shipped no tax.

The site says 3 watt bulbs which should outshine the incandescent bulbs.

Ticked though, Amazon has them for prime shipping now. I bought them from a different distribution two weeks ago and they drop shipped from inner Mongolia.

I ordered a couple packs of the 1w variety to try first. Got to thinking that everyone has a different perception of brightness so if I don't like the ones I ordered, they'll go back and I'll get the 3w type. Or if I find I need more light in a particular area then I'll switch out for some of the 3W.

My delivery estimate is June 10th - end of time.

Mark, hope you didn't get too much damage. I need to make a trip over to mine. Thank goodness where I have it stored the rear of the trailer faces south and the slide side is protected (somewhat) by a Class C that is parked like 8ft away in the next spot.

At least for us, the trailer was blocked from behind, but the storm came in from the Northern area vs NW.

Still had water this morning, so it must be a seal on the slide.

By the way, Amazon now has the bulbs I ordered on Prime.

I swapped my 921's for these. Two were operation room bright but one with the original LED I used is perfect.

These are what I ended up with. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/251487597974?...84.m1439.l2649

Being facetious, but yes it was amazing. Airport recorded about .5 inch in 20 minutes. like buckets from the sky. We at peak elevation where we live and we had flooding.

I have purchased 3-4 LED cheap replacement bulbs here and there trying to save a little money until I found M4! What a difference! I have replaced the majority of my lights with their Elite line. So satisfied! I have their natural white replacements in my bathroom(What a difference!), in the kitchen and in the living room slides. I used the warm white M4 Elite replacements in the bedroom and hallway. I have several of the cheap LEDs to replace yet and we're considering replacing the exterior lights as well. You get what you pay for! Hope my experience helps someone else. There truly is a huge difference!

Switching to LED lights is definitely on my to-do list. Maybe this summer.
I used the M4 Elite replacement bulbs. I have been very happy with the results and am in the process of even replacing the cheap LEDs I have purchased(I only purchased a few of them to try.) I used their Natural White and the Warm White bulbs. Very bright.

Just installed the bulbs.

I owe you a beer at the next rally.. these bulbs are bright! warm and brighter than the incandescents I replaced.

Be extra careful installing, don't push on the circuit board to install, it will crack and than your up a creek.

They are really great and exceed my expectations. Plus you can adjust the beam a little, great to turn the light in a bit on the outside kitchen else its hitting you square in the eyes. The 10 pack may be in my future.

For 5-6 bucks a bulb, how can you go wrong?

Glad they worked out. I didn't get any of the 3W types on my initial order, going to try the 1W type first. But it is good to hear that those are brighter than the original incandescent lights, brings my level of confidence up to order some next time around. Still under the new buyers budget so I'm pacing myself a little at a time

Speaking of rallies, and not to get off topic to much here (don't flag me bro)
has there ever been or is there a regularly scheduled rally in Ohio?

I just installed twenty of these in my trailer today. The color is very close to the 921 bulbs and they are brighter. I am very pleased. With the 921 bulbs installed, turning on the main row of five fixtures would cause the converter fan to pick right up. Now with every interior light on, all of which are now LED, there is no audible converter noise.

Great to know, I ordered 30 of these replacement bulbs taking a chance that I would like them. No doubt it was a good decision now. Lets hope they last a long time.

Yes, longevity is the unknown and only time will tell. Also I found you need to be sure to hold the by the base when inserting. They are a tight fit, which is good in a TT, but I did come close to snapping one off by holding on to the circuit board instead of the base.
