If I may beg an answer...
Has there been any uncontroversial or uncontested CONCLUSIONS in 15 pages of this thread? I'm serious, and this is meant to be polite...
15 pages???
You're using the 20/pg setting. It's a whopping 29 for me!
The OP is still the most succinct set of data, but there are findings throughout the thread.
Unregulated panels are known to pop LEDs on occasion. The can also heat up and fall when the tape adhesive liquifies.
Regulated bulbs (probably panels too) with voltage ranges like 10-30 have been pretty thoroughly vetted and appear to last quite a long time.
Regardless, at today's prices, for the boondocker, LEDs are pretty much a no-brainer.
Chinese ebay prices are tough to beat. Figure 2 weeks deliver to the states. No idea how long to Bungfleck, Mexico.
Is this close enough to what you were looking for Gramps?
