1.   Just what do you get for your power usage with different bulbs?

          Bulb Type                   % Creates Heat       % Creates Light             
          Incandescent                      85%                       15%         
          Florescent                           50%                       50%         
          LEDs                                   15%                       85%         

2.   Why use LEDs for RV lighting?

          Safer – hot incandescent and florescent lights cause fires in RVs – LEDs do not get hot enough to
               start a fire or blister your fingers
          Cooler – LED lamps run at a maximum of 165°F, 200 degrees cooler than incandescent and 800
               degrees cooler than halogen bulbs
          Power Savings – an LED lamp uses 15% of the electrical power required by an incandescent or
               halogen bulb for the same amount of light
          Longer Lasting – the expected life of an LED is 11 years of full time use; normal incandescents last
               up to 1,000 hours – 1% of the life of an LED

3.   Are there any savings from using LEDs?

           Yes!  Save hassle, time and money!
            -  Batteries stay charged much longer and so, live longer
            -  Replacing bulbs is no longer a continuing task and cost
            -  Generator does not need to run so much, saving on expensive fuel
            -  Solar Panels can keep up even if you burn LED lamps all night
            -  Bugs fly away to find warmer lights
            -  Boondock longer and stay 'off the grid'.
