I ordered 6 of THESE LED lights. The link was on the "My LEDs" thread. This colour light is just not acceptable. As you can see it is very green compared to the 922s I have in there now. So has anyone recently bought some good "bright" LEDs with a true warm white look that can provide me with a link?

Thank you for an honest report on cheap Ebay LEDs.
I've been around the block many times on this, spent a lot of money for mostly either dim, blue or lamps which don't last long. The best lamps I've found are at Vegas Trailer Supply in Las Vegas. I can't recall the maker (I can post a pic later) but they can help you and will ship.
I will probably be shouted down by the 'cheap' crowd, but so be it. I've found with LEDs you get what you pay for, they are expensive ($12-15 a pop) but will give pleasing bright light and last forever.
If you want real value stay away from cheap.

I have these exact lights and they look nothing like that. I will try to take a pic and upload later. Mine are very white and bright.

Sorry I provided the wrong link. It was THESE that I ordered but I think they are the same light only in singles.

mine are white and bright as well... I got the 36-1210 LED 252 Luman board.
My better LED boards came from COMMAND ELECTRONICS PN 170-111 510 Lumens but they put off too much RFI for me to live with with all my ham radio, wx alert radio, HDTV from OTA antenna operating off the power grid.
I initially spent around $150 to get my trailer setup and then eventually went with the cheap ebay/china boards mainly to use when camping off the power grid.
I still like the COMMAND ELECTRONICs versions the best.... They were about as close to my 921 bulbs as I could get and actually a little brighter.
My Posts are IMHO based on my experiences - PM me

We purchased different (lower frequency) flatpanel LEDs from this very same Ebay seller as they were the same ones used and recommended by KendallP. On their second camping season, we have experienced no issues or component failures, plus they provide better illumination than the incandescents they replaced while consuming a fraction of the power. Ask for replacements or money back as this Ebay seller has a nearly perfect rating and would certainly attempt to make good on it. Plenty of failures and dissatisfaction have been reported by those who purchased high priced LEDs as well. Here's hoping you find suitable LEDs for your rig.

The LED board that I bought from Command Electronics did not put out a green hue. It had the same white hue as before. BTW, I only placed one board on one side of the double light fixture and left the other side empty. Plenty of light, IMHO

This is my thread

In the pictures you can see the difference between the regular and the LED panels but the camera picks it up a lot better than my eyes do. I can barely see it normally. (see the stove shot)
