While not in my RV, under cabinet lights for my kitchen I built using Philips LEDs back in 2006 have been on 24/7 ... parts, including stylish polished aluminum reflectors cost about $15 per unit. Not cheap, but a lot less expensive than what quality under cabinet LEDs cost back then.
I've bought cheapy leds for the rv, thrown them away and built or bought expensive quality replacements. With an operational lifespan of 7-10 years, what's the point on cheaping out, at least in my opinion. That's not to say some of the product on Amazon or Camping World is good just because it's expensive. I really try to avoid anything labled Cree ... Cree makes a great product, but they're also a very popular counterfeit target.
