And they have a great CG on the beach too...SargeW said:Absolutely! Some of my favorite people have spent time at Pendelton!

Gary RV Roamer said:Starlights' Revolution brand is what I get from www.RVledbulbs.com. Excellent quality Leds that are designed for automotive & RV use. No hinky 12.0v vs 12.6 or 13 to worry about - they work across a wide range of voltages. I think you will find they now have a full range of bulb types and sizes (lumens) - pin base, wedge, bayonet, festoon, fluorescent tubes, etc.
Watts don't equal Lumens. You are likely still drawing 10W, but what you don't see in light is probably turning up as heat.SargeW said:Update on the 10 watt halogens. I replaced the ones in the rig that had burned out. There is a distinct difference in brightness in the new ones as opposed to the original ones. The new ones are noticeably dimmer than the other ones even though they are supposed to be 10 watts as well. It won't make a huge difference to me as the lights don't get used often.
But hey, what do you want for .42 cents each........ They must be rated in Chinese watts...
You may find that although they don't produce as much light they may last longer. All other variables aside, the hotter a lamp burns (for the same wattage) the shorter the life, but the more light it produces. For example, the 500 watt theatre lamps I used in fixtures when I was working were available in two versions - a 300 hour (13,000 lumens) & a 2000 hour (10,000 lumens). The 300 hour version produced more light at a higher color temperature (3200?K vs 3000K).SargeW said:Update on the 10 watt halogens. I replaced the ones in the rig that had burned out.

Well..... You only need one, and can open a surgery room on the side..SargeW said:Wow! A little bright for the living room........
Gary RV Roamer said:We used to have several G4 pin base 10W halogens. They lasted ok - at least a couple years of use, but the suckers were so hot, and sucked so much amperage that I got rid of them. The one over the coffee pot used to keep the coffee warm, though. Now I have to re-heat it!
SargeW said:All of the LED's that I have seen are rated in "lumens". How does that compare to the usual "watt" rating for a regular light bulb?
I was not aware of that! Thanks!Great Horned Owl said:One thing to be aware of is that the ratings for incandescent bulbs (including halogen) will be for a new bulb. As the bulbs age, the output drops significantly. That does not happen with the LEDs.
