I found a site that sells a bunch of led stuff from led drop ins to 12v lights for home and car.
web site is www.superbrightleds.com

I was wondering if anyone has ordered or had dealings good or bad with this company before I place an order.

Thanks
 
Yes, I have heard of them and have ordered from them. They are fine. Many people on an Acura web forum have ordered from them with good results.
 
I have placed orders and received items very quickly, on several occasions.

No problems.

Checkout the 1v-5v PR2 LED, lovely, floody.
 
Haven't ordered the car products, but I used to buy my 3 & 5mm LED's there - never a glitch.
 
I've ordered an assortment car bulbs as well as component LEDs. No problems.
 
I got some 194 replacement bulbs and didn't care for them - the connections were just the lead wires, and they were kinda fragile and hard to keep in place when you plug them in. I went with JamStrait bulbs and liked them much better..
 
I've purchased 120V LED bulbs from them and have been very pleased. Their prices are much better than the other 2-3 places I also looked at.
 
I just got some of their 360 degree LEDs.
Kinda weird, gloppy phospor over the outside but works rather well.
I've replace a pair of LED in a camp lantern with one 8mm and it's brighter.
Have been running them fior a couple days to see if I also get better run time.
So far I'm pleased - no price comparison because of the unique devices.
 
Superbright LEDs have a $25 minimum for international orders. That means Canada Customs will Ding you every time. Only 1 of my orders sneaked through. It was a bunch of LEDs in a very flat white plastic bubble pack. They probably thought it was a simple letter.

The only LED drop in worth the money is the 1-5V 10mm PR2-W1-WVR LED FlashLight bulb. The rest are junk by today's standards. Want some of my cast offs?

As to 115VAC bulbs:

Model PAR20-x36 - UL listed
Cool white good for close in reading. I got one clamped to my headboard.
Warm white has an annoying green tint and dimmer.

Model E27-W50
Thick glass PAR30 bulb is TOO HEAVY. Mine (48 LED) lasted a year. My estimate 1000 hours. The addition of 2 LEDs could reduce Vf across each LED extending LED life.

Model E27-WLX-1 White LED bulb - no UL listing
The reflector produces a bit of a hotspot which can be annoying if trying to read from it.
Both cool white and warm white have a nice tint.

Model E27-W24 Wide Angle - no UL listing
Too dim.

Model E27-W24 Narrow Angle - no UL listing
The purplish tint in the beam hurts my eyes after a while.

Check the colour temperature of the bulb. Do NOT buy any over 6500 degrees.

Did not get too many raw LEDs

RL5-W18030 is a neutral white LED. The one's I got will work with 2AA alkaline like the MJLED. (The famous nichia CS won't.)

The 5mm 360 degree is quite dim.

Ordered from them multiple times, never a problem. Good ol' Missouri boys. Almost ready to order from them again.
 
wow thanks for all the responses very helpful. Didn't expect to get this much feed back. sounds like i'll be placing an order soon.

Thanks again.
