LED lamp for bathroom and bedroom vanity light fixtures

I finally found a LED lamp for the bathroom and bedroom vanity light fixtures that is a worthwhile replacement for the original incandescents.

I have tried a number, and always went back to the original lamps.

Here is the one I am now using:

1x BA15S 1156 1141 5W 49LED Bulb 5050SMD Warm White AC DC11 30V High Bright...

I find them brighter than the original incandescents, have a pleasing warm white color (slightly yellow, not blue), and three lamps only draw 1A total.

Mine arrived less than a week after placing the order.

Those are good. 3x500 lumens.  LOTS of light.  I'm not sure I want to see what that might show.  I went with waterproof bulbs, 2 on each side in the three bulb fixtures.  Roger

My next project is to add a three way switch.

I bought 8 led bulbs for the wall lamps from LED Kingdom.com.  They were not as bright or warm as the incandescent, so I returned them and got a complete refund including shipping.  I'm still looking.

When the LED "bulb" is not going to be enclosed within any kind of housing or fixture, I like the "bulb" to have a shell (more like an incandescent).

In the fixtures with pleated conical shades, I installed the following:

I have seen an FT in which all the large white bulbs alongside the vanity mirrors were replaced with rectangular fixtures containing strips of LEDs, the full length of the mirror.

I think maybe Mogan is referring to the ones I made and painted to try and match the wood finish. They are still up and like them

Looks good, John. It was something very similar I saw recently in another coach.
