Does Arcon LED 1141 Light part # DI85VR Run Cooler than an Incandescent Bulb
Question:
Hi, my 1998 Casita travel trailer had 12 volt 1141 incandescent bulbs in the enclosed interior ceiling light fixtures when I bought it last year and in an attempt to reduce interior heat and battery drain I replaced them with supposedly comparable LED bulbs from HOT SYSTEMS. Apparently I should have paid more attention to the brand name because these LEDs run extremely hot, hot enough to blister the skin of my thumb and forefinger when I attempted to check a flickering bulb for a loose fit. I now believe the flickering was caused by overheating rather than looseness. What LED bulbs would you recommend as a good replacement for the original incandescent bulbs? I would like to reduce heat and battery drain but retain the warm light of the 1141 incandescent bulbs. The Arcon 1141 LED bulb looks exactly like the ones I have that produce too much heat. How and why would the Arcon bulbs be better? Thank you

We have had customers report back to us that the Arcon LED 1141 light part # DI85VR gave off much less heat than the equivalent incandescent bulb. These are a soft white color too so this would be perfect for your application. Less heat, less power consumption and soft white like you need as well.
I attached a review video for this light for you to check out as well.
