I dunno about efficeincy numbers but FYI LED's are replacing incadesants on
trucks.
My 48 ft RGN has all LED lites. They supposedly last almost forever and use
a fraction of the power to produce more light. Very Bright tail lites..
The problem is they cost (a LOT) more. But the price is going down.
