Has anyone used any of these as replacements for the incandescent
bayonet mount cabin lights?

They supposedly are intended for marine and RV use, and are clearly
cheaper than other LED products I have seen. For all of the talk on
solar panels, generators, etc., I'd be happy finding a way to use less
power (as opposed to generating more).

An awful example of a website, but because a friend recommended them, I
tried one of theirs similar to the 1142-W19 White LED a bit more than
half-way down the page. Works quite well as a reading light on the
bulkhead, but isn't as bright as the incadescent it replaced. Thought
about the 1142-PCB-W36, but $15 was a bit pricey for a sight-unseen
purchase.

Hmmm. As I look around, the light bars (at the bottom of the page)
sound interesting, but I have no idea how to figure out how bright they
are so I can size them properly for my applications.

A month or so ago, Waste Marine was advertising some LED replacement
fixtures that are nearly coming down into what I consider a reasonable
price range. I can wait for a while longer, though am lusting after an
LED anchor light.
