If You Need 750 Lumen `12 Volt LED Lights...


I had to order more than I wanted, to qualify for "speedy shipping". These are small 1-3/4" x 1-1/2" plastic plates with 25 square LED's on them. 10 watts. Color temperature 5,000K

They do not have a built-in voltage regulator. First reason is electronic noise which screws up satellite and radio reception. The second is price. For some reason these things do not get noticeably dimmer as a battery bank discharges from full to time to recharge.

They are unbelievably bright! Can't look at them. Red and black wire sticking out to connect to.

A share price, with Nomads only... U2U me...

Think they are mainly for interior use as a replacement for interior RV lighting like this:

For off-roading, you need something like this:

Yep they are plate lights. But a lot brighter than the ones on the link and they do not have a buzzing electronic regulator inside. I had one that disrupted Chopin and Beethoven - it got ripped out by its roots.

Oh yeah I forgot, they are about half the price as the ones on the link. And they are in Baja California. No tax added no shipping added. I just had to buy way too many.
