I have to agree with all who suggest 2011_led as a great source. I bought a couple different types from him to test and they are as posted on eBay. The problem I have is the color, we just spent two weeks at the beach, this is the longest we have camped at one campground, ever and my DW had plenty of time to evaluate the LEDs. She is a quilter and uses OTT lights for that and I thought the bright white lights would make her happy. NOT! We have a lot of fixtures with two lamps in each fixture, If I have one LED and one incandescent or if both are incandescent the color is good for her, but just the leds, no. She has asked me to stop using the bright white LEDs both in the MH and the S&B.
So does anyone have a source as cheap as 2011_led with something in the 2800K to 3200K range.
I love the Cree lamps, our Mini-Halo recessed ceiling fixtures have the Cree floods in them and for general lighting or display lighting they are great. They do not do well as a reading or work light as they are not focused. I have one spot over the sofa and it needs to be a little brighter and doesn't compare to a 50 watt halogen spot for reading. More and more lamps are coming out and hopefully some good mini spots. The City of Los Angeles has gone to Cree street lights, not just lights but entire fixtures. Softer greyish light that is very close to moonlight but little glare and reduced reflection.
