  • Color of White the Optronics LED Interior Light # RVILL34 Emits
  • If you check out the picture I attached you can see the color of the light that the Optronics LED Interior Light # RVILL34 emits. It's more of a soft white than a bright white. We don't have an exact color figure though. Also check out the review video for this light that I attached below. It shows it in use and installed.

  • Comparing Two LED RV Lights With 18 Diodes Each
  • The Optronics LED RV Interior Light with Switch - 18 Diode - Surface Mount - White Housing # RVILL34 and the Patrick Distribution 18-LED Surface Mount Dome Style Light Fixture - 12V # 277-000114. There is not a lumen rating on the slimmer light from Patrick Distribution, but both have received reviews from customers for the functionality and bright light that both put out. I believe you will be very happy with the slimmer light you prefer. I've attached videos to help.

  • Comparing Lumen Output of Two 18 Diode LED Lights
  • The Gustafson RV Pancake Light - Double Dome - Clear Optic Lens - 18 LEDs # 277-000340 has a lumen output of 225. The Optronics LED RV Interior Light with Switch - 18 Diode - Surface Mount - White Housing # RVILL34 has a lumen output of 920 raw but 815 effective. The Optronics option in this case is a much brighter light and approximately equivalent to a 60 watt incandescent bulb. Unfortunately there is not a clear lens confirmed to fit this unit.

  • What 921 Light Bulb Puts Out The Least Amount Of Light
  • I have two 921 light bulbs for you to choose from. You can go with either the Replacement Bulb for Optronics Aero-Style RV Ceiling Lights part # A921B or the Replacement Bulb for Bargman Interior and Bunk Lights part # 30-90-021. The brightness of a light bulb is measured in one of two way, candlelight and lumens. 1 candlelight equals approximately 12.57 lumens. The lumen rating of each bulb is as follows: part # A921B - 253 lumens or 20 candlelight part # 30-90-021 - 263 lumens or 21...

  • Comparing the Opti-Brite LED Interior Light Part # ILL08COB and Part # ILL10CCB
  • The Opti-Brite LED Interior Light part # ILL08COB and part # ILL10CCB are idenical lights for the exception of the number of diodes they contain. The light ending in "COB" contains 8 diodes whereas the light ending in "CCB" has 10 diodes. Therefore, the 10 diode light will produce more light. The best one for you will depend on how bright you want the trailer and how many you will be installing. I have attached sample photo with the light installed in a similar enclosed trailer for you.

  • Comparing Optronics LED Lights Candela Output
  • My contact at Optronics was able to give me a brightness comparison between their LED lights # BUL78CB and # ILL31CB. Although both use 10 LEDs, the BUL78CB uses super diodes that deliver a lot more actual light output. Optronics was able to give me the candela specification for each light. This scale differs from lumens but it still gives you a good comparison basis. A common candle emits light with a luminous intensity of roughly one candela. Light # ILL31CB offers 44 candela output...

  • Interior and Exterior High-Efficiency LED Lights for 2004 Keystone Cougar 5th Wheel
  • LED lights will be much brighter than the standard incandescent bulbs in your Keystone Cougar 5th wheel. You can replace the complete incandescent light fixtures if you want to but you also can just replace the old bubs with LED equivalents, as you noted. We have these LED equivalents for most of the popular bulb types in RVs. All appear on the linked page. Click on your regular bulb number to see the LED replacements for it. A complete LED tail light like # 328-003-81LBM1 that you referenced...

  • Comparing Curt And Hopkins Wiring Harnesses For 2011 Volvo XC70
  • Trailer wiring harnesses for your 2011 Volvo XC70 use powered converters to draw the power for the trailer's wiring. This prevents the taillights of your Volvo from having to power the trailer wiring. The Hopkins kit part # HM11143735 that fits your vehicle runs a line to the positive post of the vehicle whereas the Curt part # C56386 instead runs to the interior light. This is HIGHLY unusual but it is what Curt recommends. So you either would need to run a wire to the battery or to the...

  • is there a Certain Amount of Time LED Trailer Light BUL52CB Can be On
  • As you probably already know, LED lights draw much less power than regular bulbs. They also do not get as hot so you can have them on longer without worrying about them burning out. There is no official amount of time the lights can be on. As far as which would work better as an interior dome type of light, I would go with # BUL52CB because it has more diodes which would produce more light than # BUL22CB. With either light you will also need a pigtail # A45CB and a grommet, # a70gb.

  • How to Tap into Reverse Light Circuit for Lockout on Surge Brake Trailer for 2016 Toyota Highlander
  • To find the reverse light circuit on a vehicle is pretty easy but it may take digging around in the door panels or interior panels of the vehicle. What you need to do is find the wires that lead into the reverse lights on your vehicle. Test both of them for voltage with the vehicle in reverse (parking brake on and trusted friend applying brake), whichever wire has voltage is the correct circuit to use. The adapter we recommend for converting a 4-way to a 5-way is the part # 20036. The...

  • What Can You Grill with the Furrion Over the Range RV Convection Microwave and How Does it Work
  • I spoke with Furrion to double-check on this for you. You are correct in that the element inside the Furrion Over the Range RV Convection Microwave, part # FMCM17SS, acts as a broiler. It's an exposed element that can be used to grill food like a broiler does. Of course, this has reasonable limitations. As for steak, you can get away with very thin slices or pieces on a kebab, for example, but a full sirloin would be too thick to be able to cook through. All in all, this won't replace...

  • 2020 Honda Odyssey Difference Between Tekonsha 118781 and 118753 Wiring Harnesses
  • Both the # 118781 and the # 118753 are indeed confirmed to fit the 2018-2020 Honda Odyssey, both use T-connectors to plug into your tail light connectors, and both are rated at 5 amps for the stop/turn circuit and 7.5 amps for the tail light circuit. The main difference is that the # 118753 includes extra wire to run a power wire to the battery, whereas # 118781 comes with extra fuses which activate the "tow package" and power the harness through it. So, which one do you need? Well, you'll...

  • Comparing Optronics One LED to Low Profile LED Tail Light
  • The Low Profile RV Combination Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn - 9 Diodes - Passenger Side # RVSTL60 and the ONE LED RV Combination Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn - 1 Diode - Passenger Side # RVSTL0060 has the same dimensions so the difference between them is the number of diodes and the brightness of the light.

  • Color of Shade on Gustafson Tall RV Pendant Light
  • The Gustafson Tall RV Pendant Light - Satin Nickel - Frosted White Swirl Glass # 277-000309 light shade is a frosted white color, so it's going to be a little bit see through. With that being said, it does do a fairly good job of hiding the bulb with the frosting on the glass.

  • Comparing Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 24940 and # 24965 for 2016 Kia Optima
  • The Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver 24940 and # 24965 both will fit 2011 to 2017 Kia Optima models. The only difference between them really is that the # 24965 will also fit 2018 Hyundai Sonata's excluding the hybrid as well where the discontinued part 24940 only fit Sonata models through 2017. There is no difference for your 2016 Kia Optima, so I recommend the less expensive of the two. If you will be using this hitch receiver for towing, I recommend the ball mount # 3593...
