Default What year did TM start Manufacturing with LED Lights?

I'm soon to be the owner of a 2013 2720SL TM. Were these manufactured using LEDs?

I know you're asking about a 2720SL but the change to LED lights could have occurred around the same time on all models. I recently sold my 2014 2417 Sport built in TN. It had interior LED lights but I think I saw some pictures of the same model year without LED lights.

I believe it was mid year 2009. I think they were first introduced with the anniversary addition.

When I bought my 2619, it was in mid production and I received it in Oct 2012. It's listed as a 2013; but I had mostly florescent lights or bulbs on the interior lights. The running, turn lights and such were LED. The exceptions to the outside lights being non-LED were the porch and two other task lights.
Over time, I've converted almost all the interior lights to LED.

Found this on the Way Back site. My 2013 kitchen sink and fridge are different, but what you see in the brochure is pretty spot on. Page 10 has the equipment listings.

Thank you! I'm driving about 600 miles to pick my TM up this weekend. I'll search the forum for recommendations on what LED lights to use to replace the interior lights.

Did you replace the fluorescent lights and if so what did you replace them with?
I have four.

I replaced the aft bed, back hallway ceiling, and the front bed lights with: Thin-Lite ISTLED3111 SINGLE LED PANCAKE.
I replaced the light over the stove with: Thin-Lite OEM-LED412P Lo-Profile LED - 48 LED; this was a bit pricy, but I really like it.
The light over the sink is: Gold Stars F3528012 Natural White LED Tube Light Fixture (T5 base 2 x 180 Lumens 12v or 24v) This one was cheaper and you can turn each row of lights on and off.
For the lights in the ceiling vents, I just ordered some 1141 type LED lamps.
As I said before I still need to replace the bathroom light, but I don't seem to be in any hurry. All were purchased thru AMZN. Hope this helps ya.

Thank you! Looking on Amazon at 1141 replacements, there are pricey ones https://www.amazon.com/SRRB-Performa...48861011&psc=1
And cheaper ones in multiple packs https://www.amazon.com/1156-Trailer-...2%3A1248861011
Any disadvantage or danger using the cheaper ones?
What Kelvin rating did you get for the 1141s and the fluorescent replacements, e.g. cool white, warm white?
