L.E.D Replacement light bulbs

Last Tuesday I ordered these LEDs. It was very hard to pass them up at the price. They came in today. I used 17 and tested the other 3. All worked fine. My guess is that they are about 90% as bright as the 921s. That is just fine because I always thought the 921s were a little too bright. The color is warm white and a little less yellow than the 921s. I prefer the color of these LEDs. I did turn on the radio and listened to FM and AM stations. No radio interference. I am very satisfied with these inexpensive LEDs so far and I have no connection with the company that sold them.

What's classified as a "certified" LED light? I've never heard that term before.

Here's my write up from a few years ao: My Easy LED Upgrade

Lights are from www.ledtrailerlights.com
Their LEDs have a lifetime warranty.

I am running warm white in the interior lights and cool white outside.

i replaced all my 921 interior bulbs with these. 10 bulbs for 20 bucks.
it sure beats the 17 a piece ive priced at CW and other places. and despite the discription, they are not "super bright"

Holy cow. Someone turn down the lights.

Sometimes this place is just FUN...

You two attacked me and for what is a good question.

On the contrary, it is you who attacked me (and others) who have purchased "cheap" LEDs, suggesting that we are suckers for doing so. I agree that LEDLights.com has some decent prices, but even now you claim that if we buy elsewhere we are "being used". After nearly 2 years of trouble-free use, I will put my "cheap" LEDs up against your certified LEDs any day of the week. I, too, am an extremely satisfied customer, but of the Amazon/eBay retailers that I have purchased LEDs from. And I, too, know LEDs and Kelvin charts well; in fact I am an electrical engineer for a large municipal electric utility in California, and am involved in an ongoing program to change out our HPS streetlights with LEDs, so I take particular issue with your suggestion that I "look it up and learn". I might suggest that you do the same.

I have always advocated choice; for anyone and everyone thinking of going the LED route. Amazon/eBay is just another source that can be utilized. To discount that option entirely is to do a disservice to those considering LEDs. Inexpensive does not always mean bad quality, nor does expensive automatically mean good; the savvy shopper knows that. I'm done here; no group hug, thank you.

M4products.com Great price, Fast shipping, 2 year warranty on led's..

Group hug?

Travelnutz,
I agree that there are standards. I disagree that anyone who buys something that is not "certified" is a sucker. On the contrary. I would suggest that anyone who pays $10-20 for an LED array for their RV may be the sucker, since perfectly adequate units can be bought for less than $5. I replaced 28 bulbs in my RV, with LEDs that put out a fantastic amount of light, in a color I find pleasing, using 1/5 the current, at an average of about $4 each, and none have failed in nearly 2 years. And yet somehow that makes me the sucker?

I do agree (and have so stated) that the descriptions/specs listed online need to be taken with a grain of salt. That's simple common sense, and applies to ALL online retailers, including those in the US. That's why the customer reviews come into play as well. And even if you pay $10+ for a so-called "certified" color, how do you know for sure that color is going to be what you want/like in your RV until you get it home and plug it in?

Even your retailer (LEDLights.com) is all over the board with their "color" claims. While some of their LEDs have their color temps listed, many are only given a range (i.e. 5500K-6500K, which is a significant and quite visible spread), and a few of their products don't list a temp at all! They also claim that White is 5500K-6500K, Pure White is 6000K, Super White is 6000K...why 3 different descriptions for LEDs that are supposed to be essentially the same color temp? Highly suspect, if you ask me. Can anyone really be sure of what they are getting without buying/trying it first? (They also agree with me that 4100K is NOT "cool".)

I'll repeat; the best part about the less expensive option is the ability to try different colors/types without breaking the bank. I'd much rather "dislike" a $4 LED than a $15 LED any day of the week. And nearly half of the LEDs that I purchased through Amazon came from US retailers; I still didn't overpay!

Yes, there is always something to be said for quality. However, there is never anything to be said for overspending on "perceived" quality. Those that do so also walk the streets, drive, and vote. Just as scary, IMO! :E
