D.E. Bishop,
I buy a few electrical items here, at Waytek Wire Their distribution center is 4mi away so I'm pretty much a walk-in customer but I have done biz with them through Email and by phone. There distro center is modern so orders placed are filled in less than an hour.
Check out this LED fixture:

In action:

These are made using a business card display frame from the Dollar Store. I remove the easel back, install same size piece of aluminum at the location, press on an LED panel and wire with the included Molex connector, and slide the display frame and glass over the LED panel.
Total cost: $1 frame display, $1.69 for LED panel---total $2.69
If the panel fails (hasn't happened), slide off frame, disconnect terminal, attach new LED panel and reverse the rest. Cheaper and easier than replacing a light bulb.
Panel draws 200ma and I've had 14.9V on the 12V system many times. I bought the panels off E Bay and ordered a variety of colors and chip numbers on the board, experimented to find the right lumens and color for the location.
Lovin' me some LED's!
