If i run them on full 12v will they burn out eventually?

They bill not burn out at 12V. I allready tested them with 18V and they didnt burn out. I use 6 of them with 12V, but it's not very bright. So if it posible for you, you should take more than 12V.

I bought 4 sets so 16lights and ran them to my switch I bought and the switch to my battery I wanted it clean not threw my cig lighter but but some kind of glue becuase the adhesive sucks haha but besides that there good make sure it's the only that are like7$ not 4$ the 4$ came all broke not one that didn't break

Well it will work but they dont light that bright so i just connected mine direct to my car speakers to light up when the bass hits and i only put 2 cause the other 2 have some of the leds like burned or sumthin cause the middle of the led doesmt light up only the sides

They should be perfectly fine for a very long time. Ive the intact strips running on a 11-14.3 volt system and they work just fine in that range. Ive only had issues with one strip because of a crack in the rubber shell letting water into it

No because they run on just about the same current you might want to run them with your parking lamps which are located in the corner if you are connecting your running lights they might actually heat up and melt the plastic or blow a fuse my car came out clean the way I installed them which is running them with the corner lights

I have mine working on a landscape lighting transformer with output rate 12V AC, and they work fine. After several months, I've had none fail.

We use them in our RV on 12VDC. We live in it Full-Time so they get a lot of use. Installed the first several lamps about 4 months ago. So far they all work great.

I am on my second set. The first ones lasted 2 years winter and all, even when I had them almost 200% over powered. I'm sure they will last much longer with the reccomended wattage.

that is correct. if you connect them incorrectly nothing will happen. the voltage output will be one or two volts. if you connect them correctly you should get 18 volts. good luck.

No, the voltage range is rated as 10V to 30V and it may run as low as 9V but if it produces any light at all at 6V it will be very dim.They are not case grounded, rather a separate wire. However all you would have to do is terminate the ground wire with a ring connector and screw that to a ground point on the chassis of the device providing power, assuming that device is chassis grounded.

I'm running it on a 12v system and they are pretty damn bright. If you run 24v they will be even brighter.

These lights dont pull much juice, so u shouldnt have any issue if they are correctly wired.

My guess is that you will be fine. I run these directly off a battery bank that gets almost to 14V. I have two problems that will cause me not to buy more for use in the Amazon (the REAL Amazon, not the retailer): 1) they are too wide to be used in pull-chain sockets (the cord doesn't pull freely), 2) again, an Amazon thing, they fill up with insects due to the design of the diffuser. Luckily, it's easily pupped off and cleaned.

we use the brightest 3528 SMD LEDs for these GRV brand LED Bulns,It about 95~120 Lumens when work at DC12V ~13V ,but Cann't use for more than 13V DC ,maybe become very hot more than 13V and short lifetime,maybe too hot and will Burned soon if input voltage above 14V DC,Someone said Burned out soon due to some new RV output about 14V Voltage,please confirm voltage is about DC12V when install it,thanks!thanks!

They will run fine on those batteries. The lights consume very little power since they are LEDs. The time they will run will depend on the amount of batteries you choose to run in parallel.

Do I need to fully discharge these batteries after they run low and then recharge them fully so that they won't loose there memory?

They're designed for DC voltage, but if regular bulbs work these should. LEDs can be turned on and off really fast, so if the frequency if the alternating current isn't fast enough, you will be able to see a rapid flickering that you wouldn't see in a bulb since their cool remains hot. Most home AC is 60hz so I'd imagine that it should be just fine, they may burnout tho sooner than normal, but that could still be a very long time.

Probably so. Although they may not be as bright. On the plus side maybe less likely to melt as mine did. Over-voltage definitely not a good idea you will let out the magic smoke that makes it work.

You can run them all on 12V it would just pull more current. Or you can clip them apart where each branch will run on 12V DC. It is very flexible toutilize and the entire array pulls less than 1A with all lamps on.

I'm running mine on my stock OEM amp and haven't had any problems. I may not be the best person to answer this since I'm not putting a lot of power through them.
