I ordered these, and some other LEDs from other oversea vendors, these were by far the fastest shipping.
These LEDs are extremely bright. The response I get when I show them to people is "Holy Crap!" It is funny when everyone says the same thing! I have been lighting a room in my house with one of these using a wall wart, and have over 20 hours on it so far.
A year or two ago I paid $10 for a regular sized bulb with some LEDs inside. My wife, an artist, pronounced the color and brightness unacceptable.
After seeing this thread, I bought two of the rectangular 36 LED arrays pictured in the first post from 2011_led on ebay at $5 each including shipping and DW said the color was excellent and the brightness better than the original incandescent bulb. Installation couldn't have been easier, just plug in the bulb socket, peel off the sticker protector and press it in place. Measurement showed 0.3 A instead of the original 1.5 A, so more for 20% of the power! Thank you very much for posting the information.
While preparing to order more to replace all the light bulbs in our RV I noticed that another ebay store, exrell, offered what appeared to be a very similar product with an extra dozen LEDs at a lower price (10 for $29), so I ordered them yesterday.

Sounds like a good deal, would you post a link to these?
Thanks.

I've had almost all of the lights in my MH Ebay LEDs for a couple of years now. At an RV show a year ago I bought a Revolution 300 by Starlights for use as a reading light over the sofa. It was a good bright light, used only in the mornings for a bit and for several hours in the evening. We only take a few trips a year of 10 days to 2 weeks. Last trip it burned out! I contacted the company and at first they wouldn't warranty it because I didn't have the receipt.(cash deal) Finally he relented and I returned the burnt bulb and yesterday got a new replacement. Heat had burned it, dark color to the white plastic. I emailed to try and find out why this $25 bulb burned up and what I should do to keep the new one from doing the same thing but 48 hrs later no response. $5 bulbs from china/ebay work just fine!

That's what we do here. We make happy wives and thus... happy lives.
We'd appreciate a report on how your next round of LEDs do for you.
And by the way... I love that picture of your rig (and campfire) in your signature! Really makes me wish I was there right now!

Thank you for the good reliable information Kendallp.
Do you know if my interior light fixtures will be big enough for these ...pic below. Thanks, and any tricks to mounting them? My old (expensive)LED's were integrated with the bulb base.

The metrics quoted on those panels equate to ~2.6" x 1.7".
Just by looking at your fixture, I'm pretty sure they will fit. But don't take my word for it. Measure twice, order once!
Thy usually come with a sticky pad on the back. But they don't always hold. Some in this thread have reported adding a dab of rubber cement. Like all things, they will fail eventually. As long as you mount them in such a way that they can be easily replaced.
