There has been much buzz in the RV community in recent years about switching to RV LED light bulbs for interior lighting, and it is easy to see why. LED light bulbs provide many advantages for RV owners over traditional incandescent lighting. While the list of benefits to switching to LED light bulbs is numerous, here are just a few reasons why you should consider making the switch.
As every RV'er knows, the traditional incandescent light bulbs that are present in most RV’s can become extremely hot to the touch. It's actually surprising that they are not more of a fire hazard. But another danger for families who take young children camping, as many RV lights are low enough for children to reach, which could be harmful to them. LED lights on the other hand do not get hot, or even warm, which prevents these accidents from occurring.
The average LED light bulb has a life expectancy of 50,000 hours before needing to be replaced. With the frequency in which most RV'ers go camping, the life of these light bulbs will outlast the RV. This is a fantastic benefit of these lights as you will never have to worry about leaving for a trip and discovering that one or more of your interior lights has gone out, which can be an issue when you are in the middle of some remote location.Of course, the greatest benefit of having LED lights in your RV is the low impact these lights have on your RV’s batteries. While most campgrounds offer electric hook-ups, there are still some amazing destinations in which you will have to rely solely on your coach’s batteries for electricity. In these instances, having energy efficient lighting will increase the time you remain off the grid. LED lights utilize such a minimal amount of electricity when compared to traditional incandescent lights that you will not have to worry about your lights being the source that drains your batteries.
Switching to LED light bulbs in your RV will provide you with many benefits including making your RV a safer and more efficient place for you and your family. Contact us to learn more about the many different types of replacement LED light bulbs.
