I've been thinking of ordering a couple to see what I think of them. 
 
 
We put these in a few of the lights and I like them. 
 
Thanks!  Now, if I can just pry the charge card out of my wallet.......

Taking a look at the super bright LED bulbs, I'm thinking that I might try the Warm White bulbs.  One of the reasons that I initially shied away from LED bulbs is because the florescent white or Cool White color always gave me a headache after reading under it for too long.

No dimming so far, but we haven't had them very long.   They seem reasonably bright for LED's.

Have you noticed any dimming over time?

I've never tried them myself, but superbrightleds always gets very good reviews.

I've bought several LEDs from various Hong Kong sellers on eBay over the years and have never been satisfied with the quality or longevity.

I'm really wanting to switch over to LED's also.  This past weekend there were so many little bugs that had crawled into our lights that I went to take the cover off to empty them.
 
Well needless to say I got a nice little burn from it, those standard bulbs run so hot it's not even funny.  I actually recall one person showing a pic of how their plastic had actually burned a little bit from them over a long period of time.
 
I prefer the white light also.
 
 
That is a good place pricewise I've been told by many who have done the switch already!
