I been meaning to post this reply when I was home, but kept forgetting.
I bought These LED's for my Open Range 5th wheel. the OR sits in my private campground plugged in all the time.
Notice they are marked as 12V.
They run warmer (hot to touch) when voltage is higher than normal battery voltage (IE converter is on all the time). but they went into housing that had 2 incandescent bulbs in them and I have not had any heat problems. I have heard of others having a few go out when converter goes into "float" voltage mode, but my converter don't ahve that option.
I have been running them every other weekend Since October 2014 they all still work. I like the 3000~3500k color (warm white)
in my Wolf Creek I also got tired of the Blue LED's real fast.
I replaced them with These
Note the 12V -28V rating. these to not feel as hot as the first bulbs. my solar system controlled by Bogert engineering stuff (temp compensated) can see some higher voltages at times.
These were a little tight plugging into the wolf creek base. But they went in. no screw is used. I have had 1 fail since May 2015 but I think that was because it got bent installing. These are also 3000-3400K (warm white).
