Will these lights drain to much battery power if used on a garden tractor? The stock ones just aren't bright enough anymore to cut it anymore.

I think you will be fine. Mine are on my jeep and I have left them on for a few days without the jeep running and it didn't hurt the battery at all. They draw very little power.

Being led they should be fine. A buddy put them on his quad with zero problems.

Do not cut them off. Just take some black electrical tape if you want to cover that end of the lights. Who knows, you may want to add another string of lights in the future.

Due to the extremely low amperage draw of these lights, you can use existing wiring. I left mine on all night bait fishing (lights shining down into the water) with a small car battery in the boat and never drained the battery.

Here is a link to the most extensive testing I've seen with these lights (although the link is discussing the 300 LED version, so you'll want to do your own calculations based on these numbers.) Basically the spec sheet states .24 watts per LED. Of course you'll have to take into account the voltage drop, and with 20M of them you'll definitely want to look into dual-feeding to keep consistent brightness/color value... but all of that is explained in the link below much better than I can do here. Hope that helps! http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/19413/why-doesnt-my-5050-led-strip-draw-as-much-power-as-i-expect

Lee,I don't have a Harley, but, these hardly pull any power from your lighting system. You should be able to splice them into your tail light wires. I use them as brake lights. I spliced them into the brake wires. I have not had any issues with these, even over 4 years after installing them. Good luck

I use these lights in motion sensing mode. There is a mode for dusk to dawn also. I don't on how much light you are looking for. I do enjoy them. I do need replacement batteries for down the road. Hope this can help you. Adam M

The current draw is very low which is great, but I don't think they would be very bright as headlights. The ones I got run under 10 watts and they do not have a focused beam.

i cant see why not,they should draw way less amps than your old lights.I used to work as a mechanic,although i no longer do,they should work great for you

The power consumption is 12v but the lumens I'm not to sure nor would I be able to give an accurate answer because the fog lights I have make them a little dimmer than they are, for the best look you should put them into projector fog lights. Sorry i can't go into more detail about them but I am very happy with how they look at night. They aren't too bright but they look amazing coming down the road.

The LED's will probably out live me! They get only slightly warm after running them for a while. They can run all night long no problem. Power efficient too!

i am not sure as to the purpose of draining used batteries...but when batteries dont have enough umph to drive my main carry light at full power i usually throw them in my e15 and get another weeks use out of them. i can tell a cell is getting close when all three settings are the same lumen output.

Mine only lasted 1 year. The stock lights lasted for 10. They were brighter but only 1 year? I was not impressed

Although I haven't timed it, that's about what I get and I would think that's pretty good. I cut a medium-sized backyard to keep from killing pet turtles with our rotary mower. When it quits, all the lights are out, though. Since they are integrated into the battery, that's probably where the problem is but those things are way expensive. Has this happened more than once?

Hi Ted, The batteries don't seem to last very long. I have them on for at least four hours during my shows and I have to replace them every second to third show if I want the brightness, I do have then on full power. Hope this helps.Barbara

If they are installed properly , with a good base such as sand , they might work as a path . Riding mower would probably break them . They are kind of fragile . solar lights do not last . on the other hand , i'm not an expert.

i am not going to be much help, I have not put mine on yet , I bought them for my tractor. I put a set on my tractor and hook them in straight to the head lights so when I cut my head lights on the come on. I don't see wear you would have a problem with this. sorry im not more help.

I just purchased these last month, so I am not sure. I did try replacing a batter to make two work, to no avail. The batteries are VERY difficult to find. I would not recommend these lights.
