I tried all sorts of LED bulbs for my Westy interior and found all of them harsh and bluish regardless of what the bulb temperature claimed to be. I found a deal on 4 Thin-Lite 8 watt fluorescent fixtures and bought warm white bulbs for them. The bulbs are $4 and can be found in most hardware stores. The light is brighter than either the stock lights or the LED bulbs I tried and I didn't need to drill any new holes or retrofit LED strips into the old housings. They use far less juice than the stock bulbs although they are not as thrifty as LEDs. I have the Model 171 : http://store.solar-electric.com/tl-171.html Jeff On Feb 23, 2010, at 6:48 AM, Automatic digest processor wrote: >>>> >>>> The LED is a very white light, whereas the human eye is >>>> functions best >>>> in a yellow light, thus a conflict.
