Default Good Info

Carl, glad I mentioned this. The ones I bought that were very noisy had 10 SMD leds on a round flat disc. ON the rear there was a small AMC7150L driver chip with assorted caps, diodes and an inductor. They were pretty pricy at about $14 a pop. I just got a few to try. For the replacements I ended up with some from an e-bay seller that ships from California. It has 48 SMD Leds on a square flat surface and no led driver involved. A sticky tape back allows it to mount inside your housing. It also comes with three bulb adapters, a T-10, Festoon and BA9S. So it was just stick it up and put the T-10 adapter on and plug it in the bulb socket. No Noise! Cost on these are $6.49 and shipping was free. And you can get them in Warm white 3000K to 3500K or harsh white above 5000K. So I am leaving in a week for a two month long trip to Florida and beyond so we shall see how these work out. I'll comment along the way on how they are working.
