I noticed a few reviewers commented that the lights are not the best (heat/plastic/smell). What lights would you recommend? Please give link.

I didn't have a problem with the lights. I don't do a ton of photography with them anyways. And honestly, most photography lights are going to be hot anyways. They worked great for me, just keep in mind that they do get hot and you'll need to handle them with oven mits. I also tried to turn them off when i wasn't using them to help keep them cooler.

I've only used the lights that come with the kit. They do get a bit warm but I don't do a lot of long term picture taking, so it's not an issue for me.

I tested mine with two of the HitLights 5m cool white lights and ran it for about a half hour. The power supply didn't get noticeably warm so it didn't seem to be overdriven with that many lights. I would recommend going to the higher-rated power supply as a 48W supply will probably get hot with a maxed out load on it and fail prematurely, especially if you are going to add jumper wires to connect the strings or any smaller segments you cut and connect.

Let me start out saying you bought the right light its awesome quality and durability. As for heat no this light produces minimal heat. You can hold the bulb. When its on that is how minimal it is

With LEDs you can't really translate lumens. I used the light with pretty good results. You want an open area, as to trap the heat released by the lights side exhaust. The light itself doesn't cause much heat, but the fan exhaust do!

Just a sidenote to backdrop comment...I LOVE mine and never had an issue. My advice is invest in lights with a shadow box...these are way too harsh.

Yet another problem I've encountered with these lights. There's a copper contact inside along the slider. I opened mine up and cleaned it with an electrical cleaner spray. If yours is still under warranty, send it back for service. I did the repair myself because their warranty/repair department takes over a month to return.

Lights are good. Bright, very clean looking in my patrol car. However, the cord is junk. You will need to spend some money on an extension cord.One of my lights just went out. I plan to replace with a new one same model.These lights work, they have served me well. I plan to get some amber units to complement my red and blues.Officer safety is number one. These units make me more visible and they look great. Looks like a spend a lot of money and I did not. I do recommend these lights to members of my unit.Hope this helps.Best regards.1*=one ass to riskHelmut Lights are good. Bright, very clean looking in my patrol car. However, the cord is junk.

In my humble opinion, terrible. Do yourself a favor and get these. LED2020 LED Vintage Filament Bulb, G25 Globe Edison Style, 4W to Replace 40W Incandescent Bulb, Soft White (2700K), 120VAC, E26 Medium Base, Not Dimmable, 3PACK The light quality is beautiful. The color temp is perfect. They are clear and they have a cool retro element you can see when they light up. I own two high end portrait studios and we use these in our changing rooms. I bought almost 50 and have zero regrets. The only downside, they are not dimable. I also learned that if you are going to use motion sensors to turn these on and off, you need motion sensors compatible with LED bulbs. Hope this helps! In my humble opinion, terrible.

Call Amazon, I had the same problem with two of the four lamps that I have ordered over the past few months. I e They were great and replace the two, and I asked for a discount on the other two and kept them just for nite light, and they still are only warm. I am happy with amazons customer service , the two that they replaced are still not as warm as the first one I bought, so it must be just the luck of the draw. they look great, and they do seem to help with odors. in my mind I feel that they are doing me some good, so what else matters. Good luck with your lamps.

McKAy105, Did you buy this? I am shopping for LED lighting for my 30" deep 150g tank, and would love feedback or other recommendations! Thanks!

Sorry for the late response. I've yet to install the lights but have inspected the fixture. It appears to be of quality design and manufacturing.

I ended up sending mine back because it uses ur cigarette lighter outlet. If u want to get a really good set of LED lights I would suggest looking on LEDGLOW. That is where my husband purchased mine and it works great. I got the 4 lights that go around the outside of the car then 6pc the go on the inside of the car and it is perfect. Feel free to email me with anymore questions. Mommyofthree71011@gmail.com

I purchased two of these track light"s and can only speak of what happened with mine,, it took me several bulbs and some time but finally realized that the 3 bulb"s together can not be over 75 watts,, I ended up putting 25 watt halogen bulbs that I found at our local walmart in a 3 pack and the lights have worked fine since, the lighting is beautiful and easy to set up,, just don't do as I did and buy several variety and watt's of bulbs (I tried several and all that happens is they get hot and then simply go out some lasted a few hours, others a day or so) just remember 75 watts TOTAL per set.

Sorry I just tried them on the post so I don't know about the light. I was working with the fit. Copper is a better choice for me and have not found that kind either. The case of this was too white for me.

I did not intend anything but positive comments. I love these lights they have a vintage look and are beautiful. I have four strands of 100 lights. They are perfect for weddings and anywhere you need some beautiful lighting. I did not know they were dimmable as the other comment said. I'll have to look into that.

I have had the lights only a short while. They are lovely - and give soft glowing light - not the kind like switching on the porch light. Mine are out where they get rained on. So far they light well. I have other solar lights - 4 of various types - which I have had a year or more. Of 4, 3 have continued to work well, even in heavy downpours. The 4th works intermittently.
