LED lights - problem

Just a heads up.

Changed all the lights out to led (about 40) 2 years ago. I had previously changed them to led that were 12v only. I had numerous problems with them so changed them all to the 12-28v leds. So much better and so much more dependable.....until this evening. We were sitting here watching tv the lights started flickering, one side of one fixture went out and then the smell of smoked electronics.

One side of one fixture just smoked....blacked out. It was a 3528 led . Blacked out the back of the fixture, burned plumb up, smelled up the trailer. Cleaned it all up and put in a new led....working great. Just giving a heads up; I have a lot of faith in leds but you need to be aware that they can go "poof" - many change to them; many newbies. Just something to be aware of. Keep some spares in the shelf somewhere.
