Hmmm. Heat sink design. I like the idea. Price seems reasonable with that in mind. I paid more for my first panels... "back in the day" (way back 2 years ago or whatever it was. :) )
It has 5050 SMD LEDs. Should be plenty bright. 16 LEDs * 15L ea = 240 Lumens. That's about equal to one of my 1141 incandescent bulbs; medium bright, but focused toward the room.
I have buck regulated bulbs and I don't notice any RFI over AM channels. I believe it is more a problem for Ham guys than it is the rest of us.
I say be our guinea pig; give one a try and report back! Be sure to check for RFI.
Heat sinks are the key to LED longevity, especially bigger LEDs that do create heat. I have heard of a lot of plate lights where they have a single plate and the tape won't stick once they heat up. Problem solved with these...
