Best is pretty subjective. I see that most US based sellers sell a regulated bulb. That may have better longevity as the current is controlled at the fixture. As long as the components of the regulation circuit are durable and there is no RF interference, that could be considered a better lamp. I chose to use the Asian unregulated panels in warm white. The cost is significantly lower and I've had good durability. I figured that < $2.00 a bulb gives me some leeway if they prove to be less than adequate.

Best is NOT subject in real world comparisons where members here have tried bulbs based on advertised specs and "sales pitches" only to find out that they are too dim or don't work. The "RF interference" is a moot point because 99% of people here are not looking at that. Just reply with what you have personal, first hand, experience with.

Sorry, but even though this is your post, RF interfearence is a HUGE deal! It will easily take out off air TV, and any broadcast band radio, often well over 20' away, and I have even seen it bother satellite depending on there the dish on the roof is.

The big difference is that 99% of the people (your number) here are not aware as to why their TV is dead or drifts in and out of lock, so they complain about digital TV instead even though that has nothing to do with it.

And this IS my personal experience. I noticed this very early on, figured out how serious it was and how to mitigate the problem. Then worked with one of the top LED manufacturers and let them know what I found, and they redesigned their products so to suppress the RFI long before any of the others understood what was going on. And there are plenty of these that are just as noisy as they ever were.

Look in the archives. This problem has been mentioned several times in the past.
