What a help this thread has been! I ordered 25 of the 48 SMD white LED panels for under $60 shipped, and they are exactly as advertised. Once I received them I realized Ihad done so much hopping around between items that I accidentally ordered the 'white' instead of the warm white, but oh well.
One thing I will do once I recieve the warm whites, is cut off the little connectors and solder the correct connector for our application. While testing I've noticed it is difficult to maintain a good electric connection, but its easily remedied.
They are very bright and the sticky backing is surprisingly effective, even outside in our lighted address plaque on our house.
