Camco12V / 15 Watts60W EquivalentCamco 14313 15W Energy Efficient Fluorescent RV Bulb

Drop-in upgrade for standard screw-in RV fixtures. This 12-volt fluorescent bulb draws just 15 watts while delivering the brightness of a 60-watt incandescent -- a meaningful savings for battery-powered rigs, solar setups, and anyone trying to stretch amp-hours on the road.

Bright Light, Lower Draw -- Built for 12V RV Life

RV interiors run on 12-volt DC power, and every watt counts when you are boondocking, running on solar, or managing a limited battery bank. The Camco 14313 replaces a 60W incandescent with a 15W fluorescent draw -- a 75 percent reduction in wattage -- without sacrificing usable light output.

The standard Edison screw base (E26/medium) fits the same sockets already in your rig, so there is no rewiring, no adapter, and no new fixture required. Screw out the old bulb, screw in this one, and you are done. The white glass diffuser softens the light across the room rather than creating a harsh hotspot.

75% Less Power Draw

15 watts replaces a 60W incandescent -- major savings for solar and battery-bank users running interior lights for hours at a time.

Daylight Color Output

5500K color temperature produces a clean, neutral-to-cool white light that reads true for tasks, cooking, and reading inside an RV.

Standard Screw-In Fit

Medium E26 base fits the same sockets as standard household and RV incandescent bulbs -- no adapter or fixture modification needed.

Solar-System Friendly

Low 12V DC draw makes this a natural pairing with RV solar panel systems where conserving stored energy is a daily priority.

Why 5500K Matters in an RV

Color temperature affects how a space feels and how well you can see. At 5500K, this bulb sits in daylight territory -- bright and neutral, without the harsh blue of cool-white LEDs or the dim yellow of old incandescents. For a small RV interior, that balanced tone makes the space feel larger and more comfortable during evening use.

Solar and Off-Grid Use: At 15 watts on a 12V system, this bulb draws approximately 1.25 amps per hour. Running two bulbs for four hours consumes roughly 10 amp-hours -- well within the daily harvest of even a modest 100W solar panel setup.

Designed Specifically for RV Interiors

Standard household CFL bulbs are typically rated for 120V AC. This Camco unit is engineered for 12V DC, matching the native voltage of an RV's house battery system. Using a 120V bulb in a 12V socket will not work and can damage the fixture. This bulb is the correct part for DC-powered RV lighting circuits.

Note on Lifetime: Rated up to 500 hours. For a typical RV user running lights 2-3 hours per evening, that represents roughly 5-8 months of nightly use before replacement is expected. Keep a spare on board for longer trips.

What Is in the Package

  • 1 x Camco 14313 15W 12V fluorescent bulb
  • White glass diffuser globe
  • Standard E26 medium screw base
Storage Tip: Store spare bulbs in the original packaging to protect the glass during travel. Fluorescent glass is thinner than incandescent and can crack if rattled loose in a cabinet drawer over rough roads.

Important Information
  • This bulb operates on 12V DC only -- do not install in a standard 120V AC household socket. Doing so will damage the bulb and may create a fire or shock hazard.
  • Rated lifetime is up to 500 hours under normal conditions. Actual life will vary based on on/off cycles and operating temperature.
  • Fluorescent bulbs contain a small amount of mercury. Dispose of according to local regulations -- do not throw in standard household trash.
  • Handle with care during installation and storage. The white glass globe is thinner than incandescent glass and is vulnerable to impact damage.
  • Verify your fixture uses an E26 medium screw base before ordering. Some RV dome and reading fixtures use bayonet or pin-type bases that are not compatible with this bulb.
