WoW!
Those are some pricey LED lights in that link. I did all my camper LED's for $40 from eBay last year, a total of 17 bulbs converted including the stove hood, pantry, reading lights, bathroom, 14" florescent fixture and the three outdoor flood lights. They are all "warm" temperature range and, except for seeing the LED's behind the lens, you can't tell the difference between these and incandescent bulbs they replaced. They seem to put out a little more light than the original bulbs, but that might be due to the fact they don't dim as the battery voltage decreases during a camp trip.
I recommend searching eBay for LED's in bulk. Many sellers list bulbs in auctions of 10 or more. Find a seller who sells several different styles of LED bubs and send them a message of the type and quantity of LED's you want. Ask them to put together a specific "buy-it-now" auction that is specific to your shopping list of LED's with you as the only person who can buy. (A good eBay seller will know how to put together this sort of package and specific buyer listing with little problem.) I found my seller from China. The LED's took an extra week to clear through customs, but it looks like I saved plenty to go this route.
LEDs have been discussed quite extensively on this forum. It seems what I could get out of the discussions is that with LEDs you get what you pay for. Many have complained about the short life span of the cheaper ebay LEDs.
