- Big_KatunaExplorer IISo far, knock on wood, none of mine have failed and at $1.75 each I don't care if they do.
- BeakerExplorerForgot to add, 3 out of 3 I bought from one dealer had a blinking or led out.
Dealer has a good rating but if you want to know which one, pm me. - BeakerExplorer
I tested them with a Lux app on my phone at about 1' and got 934 Lux.
I have not seen any at that rating.
I've been replacing mine lately. Just ordered some more tonight.
Do what Alfred622 did and buy 1 of what you think you want.
Doesn't seem to matter whether they are the paddle type or panel type although I think the panel type have the possibility of coming untaped.
I found that the 24smd 3528 where fine for some applications but a little shy on light in others. You may want to try a 24 3528 and a 48smd 5050 of the same color.
Prices for these seem to range from $1.50 to $4.50.
As others have said buy from China or Hong Kong. - rwbradleyExplorerI bought 20 42-SMD warm white LED's from LEDKINGDOM-US on eBay to replace my 921's. It was about $30 with shipping (to Canada) and only took about a week to ship vs buying from China. They were the round style, not the flat panel.
I found them to be a little whiter and not as bright as incandescent but they were still bright enough.
I tested them with a Lux app on my phone at about 1' and got 934 Lux - Alfred622ExplorerI also replaced mine with LEDs from eBay (China). I got the panel arrays, soft white. Those are bright! 4 years later they are still working great. Now I don't worry at all how much lighting I use when boondocking. I also got an LED to replace the porch light...that guy is very bright - brighter than the original incandescent bulb. But, it uses little power and does not get hot enough to melt the plastic covering of the porch light fixture.
I initially purchased one each of about 5 different LEDs off eBay. Once here, I tested them - some were too "daylight" for our preference. I then ordered a bunch more of the one we liked the best and were real happy with the result! - Big_KatunaExplorer IIAgree. I replaced all of mine for about $1.75 each.
- teddychampExplorerWay to expensive. I purchased all my LED's on ebay from china. It takes aprox. 3 weeks for delivery, but u cant beat the price. 99.9% of all LED's are made in china.
