Fin,
Please don't throw them out -- if no one needs them I will pay postage and "depot" them in my storage unit.

Terry,
What color is the light? I've tried using LED bulbs but the harsh,
almost bluish white light is unacceptable. I've always felt that when
someone invents a warm white color (same UV range as tungsten) LED,
that this is what I'd switch over to regardless of cost.

The Blue-ish light seems inherrent of the process to make light for the LED.
I think it would be easy enough to find a filter to get that warm white effect.
I am split on the filters.
Gatsbys' CRUISER has Florescents that are cold white, great for when you really need to see what you are doing. I also put in 4 wall light florescents ( long story ) which are standard base, 12vdc, 15w, put out 60w light and the light is warm white. I especially like these when watching tv or lounging.
The night light in the bath module, connected to the floor light ckt so I don't forget to turn them off, are the bright white you speak of but they are behind a florescent lamp bezel which seems to tone it down a bit. Lots of light for a night light.
Dunno if a warm white fixture will come in the near future, they will probably slap a warm white filter on them anyway to get the desired effect.
Has the LED world changed? No matter what LED I find, they are not up to par with incandescent yet. These you have found dont have the lense so the light may disperse better but does is fill the coach with light like incan does?
Advantage of the older LED is power economy but as these start to put more light out, the power use increased greatly.
May have to rethink what is used for power conservation.

Peter, Dennis, and Rob ... I had another thought. I'm going over to
Miguel's shop in the next day or two. He may want to hold on to them, or
I'll send them to Dennis. I'll let you know.
Thanks,
Fin.

I think that they are brighter, Dan and they produce a white light as
opposed to the yellowish light of the
incandescent bulbs.

I agree, Steve, These are much more white than others that I have
seen. I really do not detect
a blue cast to them Will try to take photo tonight and put up on the
photo site.

Steven-
So what you are saying is those interior LED lights make it seem like
you are over dosing on Viagra with the extreme blue light effect?
Don't ask me how I know.
See, I don't have complete CRS!

Jim,
I have a story I sometimes tell about Viagra. Emery sometimes
recalls it and it is funnier when he retells it.
Really though, I went to GE lighting school through Dunwoody Tech
institute back in MN. Learned some very interesting stuff. Cool
white flourescents are the longest lasting and brightest in the tube
family, they are also the harshest. Food, people, make up, colors
etc, all look different under them. That's why so many people buy
stuff at KMart, then bring it back because the color didn't look right
when they got it home. They also have an effect on people's moods.
Several major employers in MN switched over to WWX (warm white delux),
also known as Sylvania Color Brite and some others, and they found
that employees attitudes were better, attendance went up, and
atmospheres were more relaxed.
Those LED's are about as harsh as they can be. On several of my dual
bulb fixtures I have one LED and one tungsten and that softens things
up a bit and I can also just use one side when I'm trying to conserve
batteries.
John Ruff is getting into selling LEDs soon and I hope he remembers
lessons from last year at Quartszite. If anyone can find good, warm
LED replacements for our 1156 sockets, it will be him and the price
will be right.
