I replaced all our RV lights with solder in 48 SMD led boards a few years ago - no problems.
I tried the strips to make a light in the garage but they weren’t anywhere near bright enough - thanks for the 5050 tip. I bought two 4 foot fluorescent tube replacements from Home Depot to use in the house but they failed in less than a year. We went all fluorescent for our house in the 1980s. Now t looks like it’s time to go all LED fixtures in house and garage. There are some about four feet long advertised for garage lighting and these terrific fixtures at Costco for about $30. Nice colour.
They are well designed to install, too. Quite light while wiring because the glass part screws on after mounting. I have installed half a dozen already and bought another 6 to use when fluorescent bulbs burn out.
