LEDs for Interior/Galley Lights?

Here is the link if you also want to replace the Red ones.

Have you tried these red led bulbs? I am interested in these as I think they'll do a better job of preserving night vision than the halogen (plus use less power) - unfortunately not dimmable. It's hard to find dimmable red G4 leds.

Those are dimmable - I have had them for a couple of years. You have to bend the mounting fixture slightly because when you have two dimmable bulbs,they are longer and you need to slightly change the orientation of one of the mounts. Its been awhile and I don't remember how much - I can send a picture if you have issues.

I might have trimmed the leads a bit too - I just don't remember - but they work fine.

I ended up ordering both red LEDs - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F6TMF7T4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

As well as warm white LEDs - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08K8BSJ8K?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

The red ones are advertised as non-dimmable but they do seem to dim a bit. With that said, the red doesn't put out nearly as much light as the white bulbs so I don't feel that they really need to dim much if any. With the LEDs, there is a bit of flicker when you dim them but not horribly. One thing that is a little odd is that with the halogens these become a bit more yellow as you dim them more - the LEDs do not. I kind of like a soft glow at low light levels that is missing with these. That said, I think they are perhaps a little brighter than the halogens at full power and do have a pleasant color temperature. I will use the lights a lot more now - before I was always babying my battery and just using the vent fan. Now I can use these lights without worrying about significant power consumption.
