What's the quality of those lights? How long will they last hooked up to a fuse in a car?

They will last a long time, not sure about in a car but I used mine with a computer case. They are very bright too.

Normally, about 100-200 hoursAll led light strips are about the same quality. For me all I had to do was resolder (spell check)The hot and ground connections they were a bit flimsey

So far so good (~2months) I have 2 sets and none of the lights have gone out yet and that's in a hot engine bay. The 3m tape is the only thing thus far has weakened.

I have no complaints. Used them on my fishing boat and they are still going strong.

I put a fuse in line. I am running the KC fog lamps, and the KC spots on my Jeep. I'm running a 50" LED light bar on my Ram. I never run anything with out a fuse. They are not that expencive to buy. If something happens, you want that fuse to blow rather than run the risk of catching your vehicle on fire.

We use them to light up the engine compartment and interior of our show cars. Normally have them lit around 10 hours at a time. After 3 day's they become somewhat dim for what we want but are still lit. Bought a dozen and love them.

They come with cheap lights that will burn out. Go buy some good bright white ones and replace before install. But they are brighter than factory

A 20 amp fuse should be more than adequate for these lights, so if your current fuse is less than 20 amps you should be able to go up to 20. If you have trouble with a 20 amp fuse, you have more problems than the lights bulbs. This is the first problem I have heard of the lights apparently drawing too much current. I love these lights and have them on every highway vehicle we have.

The lights are designed to work with 12V DC, hence they can work on the 12 V car battery. Since the car battery is very powerful (comparing to the LED power supply) the only concern may be the accidental short circuiting on wires. From there you HAVE to connect the lights from the fused car circuit (or on additional external 1A fuse immediately after car battery) and NOT DIRECTLY (without the fuse) to the car battery as it may create fire if/when the + and - wires are accidentally short circuited (or + shorts to car metal that is always -). This applies to any addition to your car electrical system so if you do not know what do you do, consult car mechanic.

I use them as a back up light. Im guessing if you have the light on with out the engine it will kill the battery. Don't know how much power they draw. In my opinion the lights are great,very bright and easy installation. Good luck

They are pretty good lights. When they are running they are good. When you turn them off, they make slightcracking sounds. Warm covers cooling off is my theory. It doesn't last that long...

Yes - listed as 12 V & they will also work in automobiles.I would find a bigger Wattage if you're looking for something bright.

They are LED so they should lasts for around 50,000 hours on. I have had them for 3 years. I have 12 lighs throughout my home. I have had 1 go bad in that time. The whole thing (light and speaker) went bad.

Depends if an always-on light or a parking light that's switched on (or turns on with headlights.)Mine was the second type and lasted about 4 years.

I have had them for about 4 months with no issues. They are mechanical switches so I am an guessing they will last a while since they did not fail immediately. I have them controlling lamps.

It depends. I had a couple that started dying out after three hours, but most were still going strong. A friend said hers was still going this morning when she got in the car. All in all, they are very good for the price and the flash is pretty strong. They were a huge hit at my party!

I've had mine in my daily driver for a year now with no issues and I commute 110km or roughly 70miles round trip daily. But in all honesty for $16/pair for much better light output its a no brainer especially with older vehicles.

They not bad, nothing more then just running lights. But they dont last. VERY cheap made.

I have left mine on overnight many times. No problem. My lights have lasted 12 to 18 months of hard use. We do undercar work and use them all day long. We charge them when they get weak. This us usually once or twice a week.

If they are good batteries they should last a year or more, very easy to hang very soft nice light glowing colors I had about 12 of them in my backyard last year, from an awing you might have to use a flexible wire to make a good hook connection however, if a storm comes up with high winds I would take them down or heavy snow The glass panel is easy to wipe off with a soft cloth or I use my finger&#127803;
