Diode lighting disappointing
I’ve been a big fan of new tech stuff, so I have followed and supported diode lighting and its introduction for a lot of years. That is, until I started using the bulbs for the RV, home and flashlight...

My first experience with the LED lights wasn't good. I bought 5 LED candelabra bulbs from EBay. They all burnt out within two weeks. The seller sent me some more for free, but the same thing happened. I see LED marker lights on trucks and it seems some are having problems. I've heard that some of Chinese manufacturers market low-voltage lights in higher voltage applications and they fail prematurely. Quality control still seems to be an issue.
At home I have the CFL lights. For the motorhome, I'll stick with the regular lights. I'll wait a few years for the LED lights to get reliable.
All the trucks & most of the trailers at work have LED lights...we have not replaced one for any reason other than actual physical DAMAGE in eight years! Of its eighteen LED marker lights, my truck has 17 original.
