A year or two ago I paid $10 for a regular sized bulb with some LEDs inside. My wife, an artist, pronounced the color and brightness unacceptable.
After seeing this thread, I bought two of the rectangular 36 LED arrays pictured in the first post from 2011_led on ebay at $5 each including shipping and DW said the color was excellent and the brightness better than the original incandescent bulb. Installation couldn't have been easier, just plug in the bulb socket, peel off the sticker protector and press it in place. Measurement showed 0.3 A instead of the original 1.5 A, so more for 20% of the power! Thank you very much for posting the information.
While preparing to order more to replace all the light bulbs in our RV I noticed that another ebay store, exrell, offered what appeared to be a very similar product with an extra dozen LEDs at a lower price (10 for $29), so I ordered them yesterday.
That's what we do here. We make happy wives and thus... happy lives.
We'd appreciate a report on how your next round of LEDs do for you.
And by the way... I love that picture of your rig (and campfire) in your signature! Really makes me wish I was there right now!
