There are alot of claims and counterclaims around about LEDs; "cheap is bad", radio/tv interference, warm white vs bright white vs cool white, voltage regulation vs current regulation, runaway heat...all I know is that a year ago I replaced every single bulb in my RV (over 20 bulbs) with "cheap" LEDs, mostly from China and most costing about $4 each. I have not had a single failure, no heat issues, no radio/tv interference, LOVE the light output (more), LOVE the color (bright/pure, not warm), and cut my current draw by more than 75-80%. I will never go back to incandescents in an RV, and I will never pay the ridiculous prices that some retailers and RV parts suppliers want.
Here's the post on my conversion. Scroll down a bit to see pictures; the color and light output is nothing short of amazing. Contrary to what some may claim, it CAN be done without spending an arm & a leg. The nice thing with the "cheapies" is that you can try a few different types without spending much, to see what works FOR YOU. That's key, since we all have different preferences (particularly when it comes to the "color").
