Everything in my coach except the light inside the microwave I've converted to LED - finding the right form and voltage on Amazon... including enclosed bulbs for the bathroom, different base needed for porch light, and 110v hood light bulb under microwave.

Be sure you get lights rated HIGHER than 12v for the DC applications - as we run at 13v+ when on shore power... Some 12v rated bulbs will appear much brighter - but also get very hot when powered with 13v+.

The bulb's color temperature will affect the perceived brightness.
For the same bulb - daylight white will appear brighter than warm white...

I have had to replace some of the bulbs I've used in the 'pancake' lights as they started flickering... but at the cheap prices for box of 10 - the much less power consumption and heat generation - been well worth it.
