Mex - Those type boards are what Ihave been using since 2009... i tried a bunch of the higher cost items and all of those would generate RFI and interfered with my radio ops... Finally got those led boards and run them in my ceiling light. I paid alot more than you find however... $4.99 a board from ebay/china haha... My board were rated for 12-14VDC and I was concerned I might blow some LEDs when my setup went to bulk charging of using 14.4VDC. Since 2009 I may three or fours groups of three leds off in the boards. I bought ten extra boards to replace the one that might burn out me - still got ten new ones in a box waiting to be used...
About the only problem I have over the years is the sticky tape losing it grip and the boards dropping down inside the light fixture. I just get some more doublesided sticky tape and all is good for another many moons.
Since I had a bunch of higher cost boards I did come up with a multi-switch ceiling lamp assy. It would turn on ONE or BOTH lamps. I put the cheap $4.99 in the ONE POSITION and the higher dollar one in the other position. Then I could just turn on one lamp that didn't interfere with my ham radios when I was playing my my ham radio items...
I guess my boards were the 36 LED boards... These were plenty bright for me...
