The one's I bought came in at just under $9 per, and they were of obviously higher quality than other's I looked at.

Forum member "sparky" did a test of the early LED offerings and found that all survived at 15V. Not to say that ALL LED replacements can endure the higher voltages but nearly all can.
If you have more than 13 volts when using lights you need the ones with voltage regulation.

Are you also pleased with the price ?
At $11 each, I wouldn't consider then for one second.
I quite assure you that you can get ones that are quite adequate for about 1/4 that price.

Like you, I refuse to pay $10-15+ for a bulb that I can get for $3-5, especially when I need 25+ units.:C

Your opinion of his opinion.
Highly unreliable. :B
I tried about 4 different models of "cheap" LED bulbs and wasn't "satisfied" with any of them.

Im sure this isnt the first time someone has asked this, and Im sure there are still a lot of others who wonder about it...
the LED bulb market changes quickly, and when someone makes a bulb that is nearly perfect and can produce it for a few cents, someone else will recognize the money grubbing potential and buy a license to market the bulbs, and Jack the price up til its nearly un-affordable...
BUT, there are still good bulbs being made that are excellent quality that ARE affordable...
and some of us would like to know which ones these are.
I have found the Green Value LED bulbs in the natural white color to be great for the interior lighting, as they are easy on the eyes for reading, and bright enough to "feel" good, whereas after awhile, a low light level can make one feel like they're setting in a dungeon... most of us dont like that atmosphere.
the color of the Green Value natural white bulbs is right, without the "blue" color, and not so soft as to have the yellow color either.
and at 270lumins, they are plenty bright....
the down side is the cost...
maybe not so expensive for a couple of bulbs, but my trailer has 30 bulbs that I want to change to led... at the cheapest price I can find on the green value 1156 style bulbs, that equals about $150...
I would like to hear from others who have bought OTHER brands of cheaper bulbs and are FULLY satisfied with the color and brightness of them...
AND it would be helpful to know which bulbs to stay away from, due to the eye straining color or low light output....
my cousin was down at Quartzsite 2 yrs ago and bought 10 bulbs for 2.50 a piece that are great, and one cant tell the difference between them and the $5-8 dollar bulbs.... these are undoubtedly available online somewhere, probably even cheaper, if we only knew which bulbs they were...
thanks for your input...
