After paying about $6.00 apiece for the fluorescent light bulbs, I did some research online. Here is what I found at www. Bulbs.com (http://www. Bulbs.com). They charge $7.90 shipping irrespective of the order size. They also have a large selection of other bulbs for those whom are interested in bulbs other than what I have listed.

1. F15T8-WW, Fluorescent bulb found in those fixtures in the overhead, $3.80
2. JCD12v20wH20, 12v/20w Halogen bulbs in those small flood accent lights, $1.69
3. T 912 L1, Halogen bulb found over the bathroom sink, $.88
4. C921, Halogen bulb found in the coach lamps (inverted funnel) near windows, and over dining table, $.88
5. 1141, Incandescent bulb found in the shower and closets, $.55
6. F15T8-WW, Small Fluorescent bulb over kitchen sink, $4.72
7. 93, Incandescent bulb in docking and porch light, $.55

Title: Re: Replacement Light Bulbs (Xelogen vs Halogen)

Recently, my coach's +/- 40 Halogen lights (12V 20W) where beginning to show an increased rate of burnout.
I looked at other lights and discovered Xelogen. Since my 20W lights were usually to bright to our liking, I replaced all of then with 15W Xelogen light (vs Halogen).

Benefits of Xelogen are:

They don't emit UV radiation.

They don't suffer from early burnout because of human body grease (from our fingers).

They last 4 to 5 times longer (10-15,000 hours). Don't know if the travel-shaking has a negative effect, I suppose it will.
I like the light "color" a bit better as well, they seem to emit a bit "warmer" color".

Also, the 15W Xelogen bulbs don't burn near as hot as the 20W Halogens.

Haven't found anything negative about them.

PS. I ordered a set of 50 at "www.goodmart.com" for around $3 each.
They are coded: G4F-1215XH.
