LED Lights
Looking at going LED in my trailer and was wondering if anyone has used or has an opinion on these.

12 of the SMD 5050 LED's is probably not bright enough. You would need to turn on both fixtures to equal one of of your bulbs.
I have some 24 LED panels with 5050 lights in them, and turn on 2 of them to light up my hallway, it is pretty bright (48 of the LED's) and sometimes turn on both sides of the light fixture (96 LEDs).
What I did is cut the wire going to the existing bulb holder, and wire in two of the adapters that came with the LED panel kit. Then I can plug in either 12 or 24 LED panels to the fixture, one or two. I picked two of the 24 LED panels, and it works out well, barely uses .4 amps for the two X 24 panels.
I bought them at Aliexpress.com Search for 24 5050 LED and you will get a long list. Narrow the search check "Free Shipping" and then look for "List by lowest cost first".
Then you will probably see offers for 1,000 of the LED panels at $1.8 each, and go down a page or so, to find lots of 10 for $2.45 each.
For my porch light, I used 4 X the 24 LED panels, and it is super bright, and you can read a newspaper at about 15' from it. I leave it on 24/7, at just over 8 watts, it is harly worth the effort to turn it off in the daytime. My solar system makes up all the power it consumes.
