ICANNON - Keep in mind I got mine back in 2009 and there has been many different manufacturers since then...
I changed mine out in 2009 using the cheap $4.99 ebay-china "36-1210 SMD LED Light board, Warm White DC12V" LED boards that stick-up inside the assembly. Haven't had any issues with them except the double sided sticky tape had to be replaced on one of them... Electrical wise they have worked just fine. Also keep in mind my on-board smart mode converter/charger never gets higher than 14.4VDC. Some converter/chargers may get as high as 15VDC doing the DESULF runs on the batteries.
The spec on these boards was 12VDC to 14VDC. Like said before I have lost a a complete board yet. I do have have one board with a couple of three leds in a roll not working. They were so checp I bout 5 extra boards so i could just change them out when they quit work working and still have my spare boards...

Looks like this when installed in the ceiling lights

Just look at the specs and if they have a regulator chip set on the boards to allow them to work with a DC VOLTAGE range of 9V to 30V then you might want to order just one and see if it works ok with your HDTV set being on using the OTA BATWING antenna arrangement.
If you search the forum for LED LIGHTS you should be able to see a whole lot of info on this subject...
