LED bulbs are specific to the outlet. Will vary depending the type an kind of light fixture. I have changed out most of my lights. Have not done the compartments or the ceiling "tube lights" the long skinny things. Those we do not use much.
Ended up with a small bag full of old bulbs.
Now I purchased my LED's online from Camping World and Amazon. If you get the wrong bulb there great for exchanging for the correct bulb.
Finally I would wait until you can get in you RV to actually pull out bulbs and check there number, so you can order correct LED's with matching numbers. Good hunting!

instead of starting a new thread, because there are so many, I hope no one minds I jump in.

If they do let me know.

I want to replace the 912 bulbs in a couple of fixtures, my wife uses these the most.

On the M4 website there are a few different models that will replace this bulb
Wedge Base RV Replacement LED Lights

It seems the biggest difference is the lumens

The LED bulbs are also 350 and 595 lumens

The last one has 395 lumens

any one know how many lumens the 912 bulb has?

LED replacement bulb are much cheaper from an Amazon seller than anywhere else I could find.
For instance, I bought a pack of 10 festoon-type LED's for $6, only needed 3, but locally they were $4 ea., 2 yrs. later and still just as bright.

I found some of the ceiling fixtures in our Brave were damaged from the heat from the incandescent bulbs. I found some nice LED fixtures on eBay that have a flat card populated with lots of LEDs instead of a bulb. The light output is good, the switches work well and over all I feel they are better than simply replacing the bulbs.

All of the LED replacements come from China and how many middlemen make the price difference. I buy from "Banggood,inc on line diredt from China. Great site, all kinds of LED's at about 15% of what local dealers quote.

It's pretty simple: pull a bulb and get the bulb part # off of it. Start searching the internet for that #, start with ebay. One tip is to buy bulbs rated for 12 - 24 volts. 12 volt bulbs will quickly begin flickering and quit. The battery voltage in an RV is greater than 13 volts so the 12 volt bulbs will be over driven and fail. There are many choices as to brightness (lumens) and color. If you can find lots of 5 or 10 bulbs the cost is much better than single bulbs. I have purchased several items from Banggood and it does seem to be one of the more reputable Chinese companies.

Unfortunately as Winnebago pursues lower cost component suppliers this will always be an ever increasing issue for multiple items, get used to it.

Fortunately our 2014 was unaffected as Winnebago was just in the process of using led's and must not have been aware of lower quality suppliers= lower costs?

If you don't have Schwintek slide units consider yourself so very, very fortunate as it sidelined us for over a month and unlike cheap led's will haunt us again and again until we decide to take a loss on our supposedly upscale Winnebago.
