Blue 12v 15 Led 30cm Car Flexible Waterproof Underbody Light Strip Pack of 20

I just wanted some subtle purple light to highlight around the grill of my car. Just 3 of these strips are anything but subtle. The only time I can't see the lights reflecting off the asphalt is in full sunlight. I hadn't planned on doing the entire undercarriage but I have enough lights if I choose. I'll probably put the rest of the car on a single, fused circuit and leave just the grill lights wired in with my running lights.If you were wanting "blacklight" UV lighting, the purple isn't quite as deep as Ultra Violet light. It has more of a pink tinge to it, but not enough to consider them pink. (my dislike of the color pink isn't about feminine/masculine conformity, I just don't care for it.)Now I have to do some serious planning to get these in a chain since there's no simple way to daisy them together. It looks like the 2 leads on the opposite end of the wires are designed to chain them but they are covered by the clear layer. Fortunately, even after lighting the undercarriage up like a runway, I should have 5 or 6 strands to experiment with.I found the best way to strip the wires back is to burn the ends of the plastic (outside, don't breathe in the smoke). l recommend taping or gluing the ends because even if you solder them the wires only contain 5 or 6 strands of very thin copper and will break under about 15 pounds of pull. I'm betting you can only daisy chain them about 3 strips deep from the power source before the voltage starts to drop off. That size wire isn't going to carry juice very far.

Easy instalation bright color lights looks great in my vehicle

Nice an bright even testing off 2 9volt batteries. I will be using these to brighten up inside a PC build I am doing.

Whoever said they aren't bright must be trying to light the whole car up or use under car. Thats not what these are for, they are thin low profile about a foot, to install in small places to be able to hide them. I powered one on and it surprised me how bright it was when I saw the wire size. Now if u want to criticize it the wire is definitely not 18 gauge, it's exactly 18 gauge with the insulation. But not how wire gauge works. I don't have a ruler measures smaller than mm, but I'm going to say they are 28-30 gauge, it looks like a quarter to a third 1mm, and wires aren't that long. I didn't mark off a star even though they lied, cuz I might need that wire thin and short to hide the 1st bit of wire til I can get to a more open area to then add a bigger wire to power/ground. Will update review after I install if I see any issues after.

I bought these white LED strips to mount in overhead RV cabinets to illuminate the insides for finding items. These are plenty bright for my application and with 15 LEDs inside a cabinet the interior was well lit, but my issue is the transfer adhesive is inconsistent from OK to non-existent. The problem is when the transfer adhesive sticks to the plastic tape and not transferring you then have non-adhesive strips. I used Weldwood original contact adhesive in the red can. It worked very well, but you do need to wait 20 minutes for the cement to dry before sticking the LED strips. Also, have a drop cloth or paper below to catch any adhesive drips.As for the very thin wires, I have the perfect solution to that. Note that I did not want to do any soldering so I used only crimp terminals and quick splice insulation displacing taps. The trick to do this successfully is to first cut off the soldered ends of the wires and remove the insulation with a sharp knife for about 2 inches being careful to only cut the plastic and not the metal strands. If you are using blue crimp terminals, take a very short length of #14 or #16 stranded copper wire and strip about 1/4" insulation. Wrap the 2 inches of very thin LED wires around the stranded copper wire and shove into the crimp connector and then crimp as usual. You will a very reliable connection. To tap into your 12 volts and ground lines, I crimped the LED leads onto a short length of #14 or #16 wire butt splice terminal. I left the other end open but I could have protected that with heat shrink tubing. Now I had the LED wire connected to a short length of insulated wire. I took the other end and used the quick splice insulation displacing tap to connect to either ground or 12 volts reliably. Note the white lights consumed only about 1-1/2 watts.

As title reads, the red LEDSs are very dim, useless for anything automotive, or bike use. And can't be cut to length either.One LED strip broke from peeling the sticker backing... UTTER Trash!
