I see some of these in my near future.Thanks for sharing.I like where you mounted them too.Sweeet:beerchug:

cubfan 03-08-2014 11:03 PM

Quick question,is it two per package or one,wasn't really clear to me.You can get the fuse holder at any auto parts house,as for the switch ebay or maybe someone has they will let go of.

Cubcrazy 03-08-2014 11:10 PM

Nice job! I like the location also!:beerchug:

I have six on the way. Free shipping too... Cost 11.09

zippy1 03-09-2014 01:34 AM

Very nice, and they look clean on the tractor:beerchug:

cubby102 03-09-2014 01:50 AM

Nice. And those are almost bright enough to be used for headlights

Fireman72737 03-09-2014 01:55 AM

Those are pretty sweet and surprisingly bright

Sam Mac 03-09-2014 08:14 AM

I like that setup, well done.

:bigthink:

Don't you mean 0.40 Amps...???

scgtguy 03-09-2014 11:03 AM

amps / lites
 
it works at 9~14V,0.1(A)

so x 3 = .3 (A)

you can almost breath on these and they light up. One note if you install in same place I did ... be sure your mount holes are centered ... otherwise the nut on back side may not fit properly, its a close fit .

They could be an option for the tractors with no headlights,,,,:bigthink:

Aim some forward, too,,,,,, better than no lights!!

:bigeyes:

Yup!

Those lights are a great idea, and the location works perfectly without interfering with any attachments. I ordered a couple sets myself. Thanks for sharing.

I see in the ebay description that they are "9 watts." I think they are probably 0.9 watts. A nine watt LED in a small package like that will overheat quickly.

For those not familiar with LED lighting, a good rule of thumb when replacing incandescent lamps with LEDs is that LEDs are approx. 8-10 times brighter per watt than incandescents. That is, a 10 watt LED would be as bright as a 80-100 watt incandescent. So these three 0.9 watt LEDs would be as bright as a single 35 watt headlamp (approximately). "warm white" LEDs are less efficient than the cool white variety, and create more heat in the process. (they actually use an LED to excite a phosphor that then emits the warm white light). I think these particular lights would fall in the cool white spectrum.

:Wave:Great idea, and beautiful install. Now I want some. Thanks for the link and idea. Chris

scgtguy 03-13-2014 02:17 PM

don't think you can beat these for the price ... very functional, the only lights illuminating my garage.

ACecil 03-13-2014 03:20 PM

The lights are nice!

CNeubauer 03-16-2014 12:27 PM

I think I'm going to order some and try to mount them under the foot rests pointing out to light up the ends of the deck.

B.:beerchug:

Wire 2 of them up and place on the back of your car where they would resemble reverse warning lights (backup lights). Then when some clown is so close he is almost in the trunk of your car, and won't back off, turn them on from the dashboard.....

Jokers ALWAYS back off if they think you hit reverse..:biggrin2: :biggrin2: :biggrin2:

Now THAT is a good idea. When mowing at night that is a problem that I often encounter.

This is where I put mine. Just made a bracket to fit two existing holes on the frame. Man those little things are bright... I hooked mine up to the switch so all the lights come on at once because I figure if I need the lights on I need to see behind me too.

kostendorf ,

Rescue11 04-02-2014 09:55 AM

Its been pouring down rain since yesterday and its not going to clear up till Saturday . Maybe I'll get some pics then...

Rescue11 04-02-2014 11:38 PM

Did anyone that bought these read the "friendly reminder" on the bottom of the description? I'm going to guess they used a free translator by the looks of it. :ROTF1:

clay1811/44c 04-03-2014 11:08 PM

Glad somebody posted some pictures. I've wanted to try them. I want them front and back on the 1811's, four wheeler and on the inside rails of my trailer for loading things up at night.

Oh you mean this little guy?

Friendly reminder:

How to detect circuit is a DC power supply system?

After opening the vehicle switches and turn the switch into nightlights state,

if you do not need to launch the vehicle

but the lights can be bright, is DC, on the contrary is AC.

Sounds legit to me? :biggrin2:

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
I searched all over the place looking for my AC.
Couldn't find it anywhere.
Then read your post, went and looked, and sure enough there it was.
MY AC was right there on the contrary.
