Back in August of last year (2011) this same question came up, so being an electronics engineer I decided to run some tests. The results are presented in this post.
Test Result Link
As you can see I ran the test package up to 17 volts. While I would not recommend doing that extensively (they did get hot to the touch) they survived the test and are still in service with no failures.
I have converted all of my interior fixtures (15) to the LED panels and have had no failures to date with about 200 days in service. (Over the winter I parked the trailer at a friend's house that they were rebuilding and they lived in it for 5 months.)
