thanks for the links. I am going to go with the bulb style not the pad. Looks like 36 SMD is sufficient. Any particular reason to go to the pad style? Directed down but these fixture were designed to reflect light from the back side as well.
I have both the bulb style and the pad style LED's. My experience has been that the pad style direct quite a bit more light downward than a bulb style with the same number of LED's. Therefore for ceiling fixtures, I use all pad style now, and only use bulb style in reading type fixtures that don't lend themself to a pad style.
I bought all my bulbs on ebay from various sellers, got great prices and am very happy with them. None of the pad style have come unstuck, in spite of the fact that our TT was sitting in 100 degree plus Southwest AZ heat between camping trips.
I much prefer the cool bright white, tho to each his own -- some like the warm white.
