I ordered 10 of these (no longer available from) on June 2cd and received them today. I couldn't wait for the sun to drop to test them out.They are as bright or a bit brighter than the original bulb and the color is close. You can see the difference here but it is harder to tell at full exposure. LED panel is on right.I installed this one first and after a half hour it wasn't hot yetHere the panel is above the stove and the regular bulb is above the sink. The frosted plastic of the hood light is dimming the LED some.Hopefully these last as I am really happy with the output and color. One per fixture is enough for us. I also ordered ten of these for use in some of the fixtures for dimmer lighting. (no longer available) but even though I ordered them within minutes of the panels they will get here tomorrow.The seller I used no longer has these, here is a link to pick the 48 LED panels up for 10 for $17.99 clickyI have purchased and tested these and they are near identical to the first panels I bought last year.JinD

Thanks for sharing! Please post some pics of the 9 LED's also.

I ordered a couple of those to test with on the 6th, someone else had posted about them and had good things to say. I will likely be replacing the majority of my current lights with these LED's if they work as well as they look.

I could have replaced every light in the TT with panels for $53, that would have been a few bulbs at the dealer. It will be so nice to be able to use the house lights again while boodocking.When installing the little white plus adapters I found that if I put a small bulge in the contact wire that they worked well. Just leaving them flat on the plug didn't work at all. I cleaned the reflecting plate with denatured alcohol so the backing on the panel would stick.

I saw this thread and ordered one to test with. Have you installed any outside LED's? I would like to do that also...

It uses the same bulb as the inside fixtures and doesn't light up the site farther than the awning, so a panel with the same brightness wouldn't do any better aside from not draining the battery down.

Compared to most of the other LEDs we discuss the 120 units sound like power pigs. Still that's half the draw of a 921 bulb and much much brighter.

Edit
I ran a amp test on one of the 120 1210 LED cob this morning and .51A was what I got with my elcheapo HF multimeter.

Based on 0.22A for a 36-1210 panel, the 120 led should draw 0.733A.

So this 120 LED ClickSays it's for a fog light replacement. What kind of current would it draw? That looks like it would fill the bill for the patio light but geez even though it's LED it's got to draw some power, of course it doesn't give a lumen #.

I still like the original 48 1210 panels I put in. They are a good match as well as brightness. Aside from the one that lost a solder joint they are going strong including the one I left on for the durability test a few months ago. It's been running non stop since April.
The small cobs I posted on are not nearly as blue as the pictures make them out to be.

The only issue I have with the 10 pack of panels I bought for $17.99 shipped is that they are a bit more yellow than the first set. other than that they are a great buy.

I wish they had the same type deal on a recommended cob style. While others have had issues with the tape failing, it took me forever to get the broken panel off of the fixture. I didn't want to pry it off because I knew it was repairable so I had to slowly work a knife thru the tape. The cobs pop in and out like a regular bulb.

I bought some sample LED panels from Ebay seller 2011_LED. I'm at work, but going from memory I tested the panels at 13.5 volts with the following results:

36-1210 warm white 220ma (.22 amps)
36-1210 bright white 220ma
24-5050 warm white 330ma
24-5050 bright white 440ma

I went with the 36-1210 warm white panels for most of the lighting. I left the 921 bulbs in the front pass-through for wider-angle lighting, I figured for the few times they're used I wasn't going to put COB lights in them.
I put the 24-5050 bright white panel in the outside light for the tongue hitch. The 24-5050 warm white panel went in the hood over the stove, and the 36-1210 bright white went in the amber porch light.

Edit - for reference, a 921 bulb draws 1.4 amps at 13.5 volts.

I have been lurking on this thread. Been wanting to get some replacements for the incandescent bulbs. I could handle the light being whiter than the regular bulbs but I don't like the stark white light. On all of the threads and the ebay sights there is no mention of current draw on any of the various light assy's. Voltage drop is not an indicator of anything. That's all relative to the condition of the battery. Has anyone done a current check on their light assy's?

So I have to report a failure both in the original panels and in the 120 LED porch light.

We had 3 miles of wash boards and rough roads to get to the site this time. I don't know if that had a effect or not but one of the panels had the solder to the cord fail and 3 of the LEDs started to blink and then went out on the 120 LED porch light. I replaced both to see if the second 120 LED unit would fail. The panel will be fine with a few seconds with a soldering iron.

Otherwise we went out for 6 days and lit the trailer up end to end every night.

Thank you Ranger. I'm glad you found the thread useful. Thru the help of many the threads are a great resource

Were I to do it over I would probably go with cobs. More expensive but so much easier to deal with. No cleaning or sanding of the fixtures, no removing the tape if you wanted to change the panel and no melting tape issues to deal with. The tape melting may be biggest issue with higher voltages (see test linked above) so the cobs may be fine while having hook ups.

I think you will really like the 120s. They do a whole lotta lighting up for not a lot of juice.

Excellent thread, Jim. After reading through this and the My LEDs thread, I went with the cobb style-68 SMD LEDS, linked in the other thread. I am very pleased with them. Soon, I will add some 120 lights for the outside.

I really appreciate your efforts here--others too.

Pretty much any of the panels that have been on while I handled them. Interestingly enough I tried it with the panel that is on 24/7 right now and it didn't blink a bit. Later I'll test some of the other units I have both panel and cob and see what I find.
Of the 48 LED panels I have there is a noticeable difference in color with the 10 pack being a bit more yellow. Not enough to notice without comparison to the first set but I can understand what 4jeeperz said about skin color.

BTW on the panel in the 24/7 test. It was said if these panels were on 24/7 for two weeks that they would fail because they were the cheap ebay panels. I can tell you this one is still going strong and loving it's wall wart.

So maybe the higher voltage thing is more to do with just the tape melting due to the heat build up. All of the LEDs I've installed in residential homes require vented fixtures. RV fixtures are not vented and allow that heat to build up. I still think some vent holes in the lenses may help.
