Just be aware some of these LED REPLACEMENT BOARDS will generater RFI SIGNALS that might blank out your HDTV ops and other radio items like the WX RADIO etc...
The LED BOARDS that have built-in BUCK BOOST regulator components that allows the board to operate within a 9-20VDC battery circuits are the ones that cause this RFI signals...
Mine was especially bad when using the OTA crank-up TV antenna which was picking up weaker signals... TV would do the pixelating and them go to the BLUE screen and say NO SIGNAL.... Turn off the LED lights and it would jump back to life haha...
My work-around for this was to get the LED BOARDS that did not have the DC VOLTAGE regular chips on them. I ended with the cheap $4.99 boards from China and modified my ceiling lights that had two 921 bulbs in them to work with a three position switch ONE-OFF-BOTH...
Then I installed one side with the high dollar boards and the other side with the cheap China board LEDs and could run both sides until we wanted to watch some TV them would just switch the to one cheap LED side.
All is still working good now since installed in 2009.
These expensive boards also bothered my HAM RADIO operations as well haha...
The cheap boards was so inexpensive I bought several of them to use in case one would lose some LEDs on the board. Still running the original installs with a bag full of spare haha...
Read up on others that have had this same experience with RFI signals being generated by the LED boards...
When you start buying them be smart and only buy one and try it out before dumping a whole bunch of monies into it first... I had around $150 in the high dollar ones so made me do the work around to keep using them haha...
