How many light bulbs in a LY MH
I started replacing as many interior and exterior light bulbs that I could with LED's. Counting marker lights, docking, parking, taillights, porch and all the storage compartments outside. Interior lights in all fixtures, aisle, dash and door refrigerator, hood and map lights I was surprised there are over 70 lights. Its hard to could them all, count them all try for yourself.

Too bad they aren't all the same for interior or even exterior, replacement equivalents types may lower your number.
Maybe a short list of socket types with location and LED's equivalent lumen output is needed, any volunteers? A sticky list of found substitutes would make it easier to do the replacements.

There are four types of sockets. The old push and turn type for the old 1141/1156 type, the push and turn type with a double element, like the 1157 turn signal/taillight, the weird double contact-single element type like you find in the chandeliers of the Land Yachts, and the push-in T10 type, like the 194 marker light bulbs.
There is also the tiny push and turn type, such as you would find in marker lights with the #57 bulbs, but I haven't seen any LED replacements for those.

I found a good cross reference web site www.rvlighting.ca that shows detailed pictures of the LED lights that replace the old bulbs. This site was helpful because I was having a problem finding the correct replacements. The LEDS are so new that most of the RV stores don't even know what their selling and carry a very limited selection. My main reason for the post was to look at a MH you just wouldn't think there would be over 70 light bulbs and that's not counting the fluorescent light bulbs. At least it was surprising to me that there are so many, especially when you start buying them.

I bought mine on EBay too. I haven't replaced them all yet since I am replacing them by type when one in the group fails.
