shows good selection: For 5 meter flexible light strip roll I paid $12.50 each that was for the 300 led set 12 volt. Purchased thru Ebay US shipper. Bob

The lights look good. But, I have a question. I put 12v led from superbrite around top of wifes golf cart. I put 120v around different areas of white bus. Now the question. At nite when it is dark with no "Nite Lights" on, I can see some of the leds glowing. I have disconnected from power sources, and they still glow. I have not been drinking, and ET is not home. I have used a dvm and cannot read any voltage. Is this normal or am I haunted.

I would go with the haunted theory

I'm guessing induction from overhead power lines or some other magnetic field (but probably not an EMP burst). A long string of cable with LEDs attached is probably exactly what you'd design if you trying to show an induction effect.

Jeremy, you may have hit it. I did not see this at Terlingua, wher power lines are non-existant. At home, there is an underground power line under the shed where we park. Guess I'll have to check.

have noticed when I shut the power off they have a glow for awhile. Wow! you got free power if you have a force field! Bob

Bob,
Which level white are you using? Warm, Cool, Bright, etc.

It was the 3000 bandwidth. 1/2 way:: The bright is 6000 I think . Good all around light but would need spot area light for book reading.(long time). I can dim them to watch tv easily. Bob
