Resubmitted review. Original review was in error.
Rope light clamps are a good product. Need to have some clamping force when tight. Rope light was able to slide.  Since lights are on one side of rope it would be nice to "lock" th in position.

This is an excellent product. The clamp for attaching it to various objects uses a heavy-duty plastic screw, not a spring, so the point of attachment is very strong and reliable.

still for the price a gr8 deal  just not the strength I was hoping for  shipping quick and packed well and the clamps are excellent  I probably will find some higher power lights and try in this clamp .... clamp is very easily adjusted  I still for the price would recommend this light ... I bought 2

It is perfect for what I need but I needed more clamps. I'm using giant paper clamps in addition.

It's excellent but I still needed to put some double sided strong adhesive tape on one of the clamps. I attached to a desk and it was moving around. The pole itself is just the right tension. Not too weak not too strong. It's also a great length.

The plastic clamps that come with the lights always break. These don't.

Everything works great.  It's really bright.  The rail clamp is not very well made, one of the screws stripped out very shortly after buying, but I was buying this for the light not the clamp, so I just purchased a quality clamp and I'm back in business.

Only used so far for 3/32" swages but both double clamps and end caps work well.  Need some upper body strength to get these to clamp down.

For the price it is works well for the purpose I needed it for.  It is a little difficult to get the clamp tight enough.

These are hard to clamp where you want them.  There isn't enough tension in the joints to be able to lock them where you want them.  I'm trying to grow seedlings and it's hard to get them exactly in place to shine correctly.  If you want to clamp this at the top and have the light straight up an down you will be good to go.

The clamps hold as set, but the do not allow for increased tension; that is, you cannot increase the clamping pressure with these clamps. Good for delicate work but not for moderate-heavy woodworking. I'm returning them.

need something that i could use with cable ties to secure some led light strips from falling.  I figured i would secure with screws to the wood since i'm not much for trusting double sided tape... after all, the led light strips came with double sided tape and they still didn't hold to the wood... but I tried these and oh boy, the double sided tape stuck.. and pretty good too.. no need to use screws... we'll see how long it holds, but for now.. its a perfect product.

Clamps work well, but I had to glue the grips in place to keep them from sliding off all the time.

I liked the clamp.  It opens wide enough to allow the lamp to be attached to a two-by-four.  Too bad its not for outdoor use.  I used it to hold a bulb-shaped security camera, but I had to bring it inside before the rains came.

(Note: Before I begin my review, I should note that, like the other Vine reviewers, I originally received one clamp and one light instead of two of each. The company did reach out to Amazon when they discovered the error and the other set is supposedly on its way to me, but my review is due today, so I will be reviewing the clamp and light to the best of my ability.)

This clamp and light kit definitely lives up to the "Rugged" in Rugged Ridge. I desperately tried to find a part of this thing I could bend, break, tear or otherwise render less than stellar. With one glaring exception (which I'll detail below) the X-Clamp and the light look just like they did before I started bouncing, dropping and abusing them.

The clamp looks symmetrical at first glance but it isn't; there's a subtle change in the curvature when you rotate it 90 degrees. This doesn't really make much of a difference because no matter the orientation it still accommodates tubes 2.25" up to and including 3". I should note that the instruction manual notes that the clamp can accommodate tubes down to 1.25" but doesn't exactly make clear this is for a different model of the X-Clamp; even without the jam nuts in between the narrowest space between the clamps is 2" even.

Once you secure this clamp via the four screws (you get three sets of four between 1" and 1.75" long; which you use depends on how wide your tube is) and, if applicable for your size, the jam nuts, that thing is not moving. I mounted it on the tube of an off-road vehicle with hardly any suspension and after the end of the day it hadn't budged.

The light itself is much brighter than I expected. The product page states it's 100 lumens, but it's more like 1,000, so I'm thinking that's a typo (an 18W incandescent bulb puts out more than 100 lumens, so it stands to reason these 18W LED's should put out much more). It's also just as well-constructed as the clamp, but be forewarned it doesn't include directions or a hex key like the clamp does. It's fairly obvious how to put it together and everyone mounting something on a Jeep or ATV should have a hex set lying around, but I wanted to point that out just in case.

The one issue I had with this set was the wire to connect the light to the power supply. The wire comes in two parts, one part coming  out of the light and terminating in a male connector, and a second part that is a matching female connector that terminates a foot later, stripped to the red and black wires to attach to your vehicle. The black wrap that is used to cover the exposed wire between the insulated main wire and the connector itself is pretty loose, and with a *very* light tug came loose, exposing the red- and black-insulated wires within. Which would not be that big a deal if the inner insulation wasn't already showing some signs of wear and thinning, presumably from being bent and/or trimmed in the initial installation. Nothing a little electrical tape can't fix.

All in all, though, this is a great clamp/light set that is rugged, versatile and bright. Just make sure you secure any connections and you'll be able to throw anything at this.

steel tripod seems sturdy.  the plastic parts seem to be okay quality - time will tell.
interesting how the tripod legs must fully extend to lock.  the support legs almost touch the ground.
aiming the lights would be better if 1" more cord was on the light before the y connector - light side.
the bracket should be 1/2" longer to make it easier to aim light to high and low point.
the lights don't turn on right away, takes 1 second.  Not too fond of that.
the light seems typical for led with high intensity with short distance.
you WILL need an extension cord!
price paid is fair for how well it's made.  Overall despite shortcomings I like the unit.
I will be using these a lot for the next few months - I will update my review if these break or something.

this product seems to be well made and is easy to use. but I purchased it because I thought it might keep two strings of lights held together but it wasn't the case. the tension on the strings was too much for it. so I used some zip ties to hold the strings together and then placed this over the top for water protection.
