I converted my entire MH, using cheap ($2-$4) eBay/Amazon LEDs from China nearly 2 years ago.

48-5050 panels, 300 and 600-3528 strips, 5050 bulb style, etc. Use them boondocking on 12VDC as well as with full hookups (upwards of 13.8+VDC), in both cold weather and hot weather (115 degrees F). Haven't had a single failure. Wait, I take that back; I had a single LED in a 18-5050 bulb style go out in my porch light fixture.
Interestingly, I tested them running at 12VDC and 13.8VDC; very little difference in current, temperature buildup, nor even brightness.
