The lights get five stars, the seller's description gets one, for an average of three. These do not use AAA batteries, they use AA batteries. I bought $60 worth of the wrong kind of battery, and then my staff looked foolish in front of our client when they went to use these and didn't have the correct batteries. Again, lights are great, feel free to order these if you need battery powered lights. Just don't waste your money on the wrong battery size, because the description is incorrect.

Have them on bicyle rims, they work well, I just wish they have a thinner wire, or black wire version,

otherwise they are bright at night. they take 3 double AA batteries not AAA

-update-

I ordered 2 more, and they shine a brighter and better blu, and the switch on the the control box is in a better location...

guess they just updated the lighting..

I bought the red lights to use on a poster for a Taylor Swift concert, they're very bright and pretty! The only thing I didn't like was I thought they would be a bit bigger, but that's not really a problem.

Gu10 to E27 LED Halogen CFL Light Bulb Lamp Adapter Review

Customer Ratings:

It is excellent. It works perfectly.

FANTASTIC!!!! I have ten fixtures

and this is the answer. I highly recommendrecommendthat everybody

This adapter works fine for converting gu10 outlets, which my landlord saw fit to put randomly in outlets around my apartment. The problem is that the size of the adapter makes the flood lights stick way out from their base and the strain makes them hang weird. They seem like they're not entirely secure.

That's not a fault of this product, it's just the nature of what you're going to get when you join gu10 to e27. Not much to do about it. That may not be a problem in your particular situation, but for me it's a deal breaker. Consider where your light bulb is going to end up sitting when using this adapter.

I bought 3 of these adapters and they are well made but are just a little too long for my fixtures. I believe they add 1-1/2" to the bulb length. I was considering redesigning the fixture socket to get the original socket out of the way, but I haven't yet.

The price was great and the quality and delivery was excellent.

Discount LEDwholesalers Disc Type G4 Base Side Pin 10 SMD LED, 10 Watt

Customer Ratings:

I have 3 of these 1109WW Warm White bulb replacements so far and 1 1109WH white replacements. They really work great. They obviously run much cooler than the halogen bulbs since they use about 78% less energy. The light output for the warm white bulbs is nearly identical to the halogen bulbs. They produce a little less light and perhaps a little more yellow than the halogen bulbs. But I am quite satisfied with them and you can hardly tell the difference. I evaluated the 1109WH white bulbs also since I was not sure which color I wanted. I have a g4 bulb in the refrigerator and that white bulb went in there. The white is just to obnoxious for a living area even though they produce a little more light. All the bulbs have been running for about 2 months so far. I am not sure just how long they will last since it has only been 2 months so far. They say I should get 50000 hours. Everything else they said has been true about these bulbs so I am counting on replacing these in about 15 to 18 years. :) I really got tired of replacing the halogen bulbs in what seemed like every 3 to 6 months and the good halogen bulbs aren't cheap either. I have about 14 of these G4 bulbs in my 5th wheel coach and I plan on ordering them 2 at a time until I replace them all. That way I get the free shipping with Amazon. I highly recommend them especially since I have seen theses bulbs cost 25 to 30 dollars.

Update: It has been about 15 months now since I bought the first ones and all are going strong. I have about 10 of these now and not one has failed.

I have to admit I'm dissapointed. I've been promoting (through blogs/forums) and supporting these LEDs since I started buying them for my RV in Feb 2011 on Amazon, but now they've started to burn out. I've had one burn out completely and 3 others are dimming. I called LED Wholesalers, but they only support a 1-year warranty and wouldn't provide any other kind of support (they said the best they could do was "match" the current price on Amazon.com...really??). It now seems all the $$ I spent to upgrade to LED on our RV (which was alot of $$) will potentially be going to waste.

Very dissapointed I must say. I bought these LEDs specifically because they support a wide voltage range and advertize a long operating time, despite the higher price (at the time I bought). Clearly the 50,000 hours advertized on here (which should be more than 10 years!!) is not supported. There is no way these LEDs should fail after less than 2 years so I can only say the long-term quality of these products is questionnable. I enjoyed them while it lasted, but they shouldn't have failed so soon.

There are other vendors who are supporting 2 years or more now and I would probably recommend going with them.

Feb 2012 update -> Sad to report that yet another LED burnt out. It really seems 2 years is the failure point for these.

Negatives: Cost, although G4 halogens are likewise expensive these are still more costly at least initially.

Size, because of the components mounted on the backside the light doesn't mount flush in the fixture (under cabinet puck type).

Unknown: Longevity, haven't owned it long enough to know if it will last as long as claimed or that the light output wont diminish (I've read that

occurs with some LED's).

Positives: Similar light output to a 10W halogen which surprised me.

Very little, if any, heat.

Realistically they may never pay for themselves however if they last the convenience of not replacing the halogens will make them easily worthwhile and as a previous reviewer stated I will replace the other halogens over time to spread the cost. All said, recommended.

Now a caveat, bought three one has failed after five weeks. Based on that performance I'm now disappointed and question the idea of replacing the rest of the halogens. If possible I would now lower my rating perhaps to two stars.

Update to 11/19/11: The light that failed may have been a fixture problem as I have found that just a small amount of looseness may create a weak connection which can account for flicker or apparent failure. I have since purchased several more and they all work fine, back to five stars.

Honest reviews on LEDwholesalers Disc Type G4 Base Side Pin 10 SMD LED, 10 Watt

Great LED replacement for 10W Halogen but they will not work with any dimmer circuits.

Good warm white and very bright but they will not work with a dimmer because they contain their own AC-DC/DC-DC converter.

You need to use G4 replacement that is 12V rated only for PWM dimmers to function.

I have a several Ikea GRUNDTAL G4 countertop fixtures with 2 or 3 bulbs, a total of 12 that needed to be upgraded. I ordered 2 of these LED replacement lamps first to try them out. They worked fine. When I ordered the rest, I received slightly different ones that flickered badly and the transformers made a humming noise not acceptable for a kitchen. The seller was not able to exchange them for the same type that I received in the first batch, so I had to return them and revert back to the old halogen lamps. The seller provided RMA instructions and the return for a full refund was uncomplicated.

My recommendation: order one or two of these first to test them in your fixtures.

It's fun, it works, but...

It comes without instructions so you have to figure out how to use the DYI keys. Press they DYI key you want to set, adjust color with the arrow keys, then press the DYI key again. Done.

On my unit, the blue and green settings are reversed. So when I try to adjust green, blue reacts and vice versa.

Best Deals for LEDwholesalers IR Remote Controller 44 Keys for RGB LED Light Strip

I ordered a set of rgb lights with a power supply, a remote, an IR receiver and this extra Remote/receiver pack. I intend to cut my strip in half and use a power supply that I found at the swap meat so that I have two fully independent half strips of about 7.5 feet each. I received the bigger remote pictured in the description, which I quite enjoy. The colors are not all true and the white is a little blueish, but the peach setting right below it makes for a pretty good light. I use it to light up my whole room from a ledge above my window. The customizable light settings (DIY1-DIY6) are fun to play with because you can adjust RGB to your desire, but they are considerably more dim than the preset colors, of which there are twenty. The fades can be slowed down for good mood lighting and the jump settings are good for freaking out friends. Also, the remote is IR, so the remote must be pointed at the receiver. It does have considerable range though (I've tried 40 feet). Overall, an exellent product for the price but there are some kinks.

Honest reviews on LEDwholesalers IR Remote Controller 44 Keys for RGB LED Light Strip

We got this controller (along with these lights http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00476B908/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00) for a party.

While we didn't like the lights very much, this little controller is a superb toy for the money.

This isn't a digital controller that can individually address LED's It is designed to work with strips that have all the LED's connected in parallel.

The IR receiver (the blob on the end of the thin wire) is sensitive and seems to work no matter where you point the remote, within reason.

The little white box is small enough to be stashed away out of site.

It works by sending a different voltage to each of the red, green, blue LED segments which in turn varies the brightness of each color. The result is pretty much any color you can be bothered to dial in.... it takes a little patience.

You can choose from pre-set colors (the colored buttons you see), a color you have saved to memory or you can set any red, green, blue level (the arrow buttons you see).

It can flash on & off, vary the speed, fade into the next color... all sorts of nifty effects.

Ridiculously cheap for what it does but comes without a power adaptor. I used a universal laptop supply. Worked great.

I ordered 2 of these. Upon connecting them to my light strip, I discovered the the colors on the remote didn't match up with the colors I was getting from my lights. I opened up the housing and found that the RGB wires were in all the wrong places. The housing has a QC sticker, but apparently that doesn't mean anything. I re-soldered the wires in the correct locations and now the colors of the LEDs correspond to the buttons on the remote.

The directions don't describe how to use the DIY buttons, but fortunately another reviewer had that covered.

Best LEDwholesalers Brightest 20 Watt 4-foot T8 T10 T12 LED Tube Light Deals

Customer Ratings:

The price is good, and it's quiet and bright. But they lose a star for not indicating _on the webpage_ whether the bulb is single-end powered (SEP) or double-end powered (DEP). I'm replacing some T12 shoplights (which are DEP with unshunted tombstones) with LEDs. I got this bulb, removed a currently-working LED bulb from one of the converted shoplights, popped this in and ... nothing. Removed the bulb, stripped ends from a power cord, attached them to opposing pins on same side of the bulb, and I have light. So the bulb works, but I'll need to rewire a shoplight (and replace the tombstones) to use it. Apologies for shouting, but ...

LEDwholesalers: PLEASE INDICATE ON THE WEBPAGE whether the bulb is DEP or SEP!

The final end result was great...good light output (bright and good, clean color...not yellow/green).

However, with the limited instructions, it was not an easy process. I am not an electrician but I am fairly knowledgable about electrical wiring and fairly handy. It took me about an hour after doing some research online how to make the wiring work in my set-up. These tubes only are powered on one end (SEP?). My fixture was set up with power on both ends. With the "tombstones" in my fixture (the slide-in and rotate type), I needed to dedicate one side to "L" (line) and one side to "N" (neutral). This means that when installing the bulbs I need to make sure I have them aligned correctly (L to L, N to N) and then rotate them correctly (so that the contacts match up and, since LED bulbs only put out light in one direction, that the light is directed in the right direction.

The bulbs seem to be well constructed and work well. There is a slight delay (1-2 sec) when they turn on, but not bad. Once on, they work well with nice, bright light output. If you don't mind doing a little investigation and are fairly handy, the end result is good.

Honest reviews on LEDwholesalers Brightest 20 Watt 4-foot T8 T10 T12 LED Tube Light

Ok, I read the reviews and knew what to expect before they arrived. And, I have electrical experience so I knew that the modifications required would be no problem. However, when Saturday morning arrived, I was surprised at how easy and quickly the install went. The units arrived the day before in two days (prime member here) in a long Amazon box. They were individually packed in their own tubular cardboard containers with plastic protectors over the pins. Plastic film protected the lense.

There is very little noise to speak of but there is a 1.5 second turn-on delay, but really no longer than the the blinking startup of the fluorescents being replaced. Only two units were needed to get the same output as four fluorescent tubes; four LEDs would have been overpowering and expense.

Not everything is perfect and these are not. The documentation is bad but the reviews here more than make up for the lack of detail. Also, the color of the light is definitely "Cool White", which is what the builder put in our fixture originally and works best in our application (pantry). The last time we replace the tubes, we used the soft white so these units were a reminder of when things were new.

While I was ok with $37ea for LED technology, this was still was expensive compared to a standard fluorescent replacements. My deciding factor to spend the money was the fact that one of the ballasts was failing and I was considering buying and installing a brand new fixture.

Bought these bulbs after checking out the price at my local Lowe's. What a great price compared to singles @ almost $6 and 3packs for $12. this 6 pack seemed a great deal. I use these bulbs on a 4 bulb fixture over my Kitchen island. Needing to only replace 1 bulb at this time it was easy to see the difference between these bulbs and the one's that came with the fixture. These bulbs are mounted in an opaque glass surround that picks up the light emitted from the sides for the bulb and then the glow helps to light the kitchen ceiling. These new bulbs emit almost no light from their sides and the loss of light to the ceiling is very noticeable.

These lights are great, that's why I got the spool, so I give it 4 stars except for the fact buying them on spools TAKES WORK. I wasn't prepared to have to do my own cutting on this spool, for some strange reason I thought they'd come prefabbed while still on the spool. I guess anything you buy on a spool should come with some expectation of having to cut and splice them yourself (like cat5).

So keep that in mind before you buy unless you want a 20foot strip of the lights somewhere specific :-)

I thought I would use the colors more, but white is my preferred use. I use it daily as I like a mood lighting light light anyway. The tape, although 3M, needed reinforcement in a couple of places because the connectors are heavier, no problem, just have some extra 2 sided tape around when doing the install. I have a window in between, so I needed extra wire and lights. I like it.

The description (I felt) was a little ambiguous. It implies that the strip can be cut at intervals. I assumed that a 4 pin connector would be able to be inserted and one of the interval cables used. Not so, unless you know a lot about wiring. Once you cut it, it's done. Having said that, I have the 1 foot intervals installed in my kitchen, and the lighting is great.

Review of Phillips Indoor/outdoor G40 Globe Lights - Orange

Customer Ratings:

So I had been on the hunt for some "wedding-like" string lights for my backyard but found out that what i'd really love to have (the vintage wedding string lights) just cost way too much for simply 25 bulbs. I found out through a guy at Home Depot that LED works longer and costs much less to buy and run when turned on for hours. LED bulbs are cool to the touch, so you won't deal with HOT bulbs. I had actually puchased this exact brand at Target in the "soft white" color and was pleasantly surprised as to how affordable they are $14.99 a box of 40 bulbs on 20 feet of cord and how far 20 feet can really go. What i really liked was that i could string up to 87 sets of these LED lights together! I am trying to mimic the wedding light look and eventually want to add several tows of these string lights and insert Chinese paper lanterns to every other bulb.

When these are lit, you can't tell that they are plastic, nor can you see the tiny parts where they are held together. They just look like string lights! They are also water-proof and are for indoor / outdoor. LEDs also last longer and costs less.

A typical 40 bulb set of string lights would take 175 watts to run....well these Philips G40 LEDS take only 2.4 watts to run! and of course they won't get hot, risking burning your cheap paper lanterns.

I personally got the warm white color cause i can have the basic white light but then once i insert any color paper lantern, i'll get that lanter's color to glow up the room and i can change out the paper lanterns to reflect another color for another type of party. So just buying the white light allows you to just do more by changing the color of the paper lanterns.

I buy my paper lanterns very cheap from OrientalTrading.com but you can also find them at Big Lots, Target, Walmart, IKEA, Garden Ridge Pottery or somewhere online for just like $1.50-$300 each

There are six tealights in this set. Size of tealight insert is one inch high by one and a half inch wide. Glowing "flame" projects above base. If you click on the additional photos included in the product description, you will see the charging base, etc.

The actual tealight units are removable from the included frosted glass holders. You remove them from the holders and place the tealight units into the charging base to charge. There is a timer and it will turn off when they are charged. Once charged, I have used these as "all night" nightlights during power outs and they have lasted about 5-6 night uses on one charge. I beg to differ with another revieweryou can indeed charge less than the full load of 6. I often charge only the ones that need charging. Sometimes only one. This is induction charging so there is no need to "complete a circuit" or whatever by loading all 6. Charge one or twoit works.

They do have an authentic glow and flicker. Handy to keep at bedside. To turn on or off, you just grasp the tealight in it's holder and tip it to the side in any direction. Since the tealights are removeable, you can use them in another suitable candle holderunlike the larger, taller Phillips tealights that are permanently attached to the frosted glass holder.

No switches. So easy. Closest thing to real candles I have ever seen-without the mess, fire hazard, smoke. Plus they won't blow out when used outdoors. I have updated this review to give dimensions of actual tealight insert to answer comment below. These really are well worth the cost and are holding up fine with daily use.

Honest reviews on Philips 69126/60/48 Imageo LED Rechargeable Tea Lights

Love these little candles, so far at about 10 cycles in they run way past the advertised duration between charges, which is really nice means less time on the charger and more time in use. Charging base is great and my 4-year old and her parents both love that she can essentially handle care and feeding of these by herself. No matches, no batteries to change.

They look best in my opinion scattered farther apart than close together. If clustered or placed too close together visually, the similarities in the modulated flickering patterns of the "flame" become more noticeable as patterns and start looking artificial.

My only complaints:

when used without a diffused or frosted holder, the bare "wick" looks like what it is: a cluster of lights, with a steady light on the outside of the "wick" and a modulated light flickering/blinking up through the center. It is almost amazing how this effect transitions into a lifelike flicker when placed in the frosted holders

if you like to store these back in the box when not in use, the box orients them sideways for storage by default, and you turn them sideways to switch them on and off... so it's difficult to get them in there without turning some back on, thereby running down what charge they might still have

I haven't installed it yet, but it is attractive, looks well constructed and was well packed. Most impressively, especially at this price point, is they had the good sense to include pairs of 4 different finishes of the little exposed cap nut that you see on the left and right of the sconce. The finishes included are: black, white, nickel and oil-rubbed bronze. Given how inexpensive these are for them to provide, it is very smart (dealers don't have to stock multiple versions) and so useful for the consumer.

Buy WindFire® Super Bright Cree Xm-l T6 1200 Lumens Zoomable LED

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $69.99
Sale Price: $23.89

I bought this flashlight after buying several cheap UltraFire LED flashlights. Among those purchases were 2 Crees WF 501b($10.39) and 2 Crees 502b($9.97) flashlights. 1 of the 4 survives. They put out bright light but nowhere near the 900 and 1000 Lumens promised. My Fenix TK35 lists lumens at 860 which I can believe. The Crees come nowhere near that in brightness, nor have any other similar cheapo LED flashlights.

Along comes the WindFire Cree and I don't know why I bought it. Probably I keep trying these cheapo flashlights hoping for a torch that lives up to the headline.

The WindFire promises a 1200 zoomable light. I dislike zoomable lights after trying several headlights with that feature that were horrible to use. So I bought this torch with 2 18650 4000mAh batteries and charger included.

While the flashlight puts out light nowhere near 1200 lumens (IMO), it is bright, super bright. On tight-high beam it puts out a bright small square, very bright and usuable, beam of light. Zoomed in all the way puts out a very bright circle of light that high-lites an area around me, or in front of me (whatever) about 20 feet across, maybe more if I could find a way of measuring the circle. You get three levels of brightness circles and I am using the three levels for all but the strobe and sos selections. My choice is a zoom pulled back just enough to soften the square to a larger circle. This is still very bright but it gives a beam that is what I'm used to in a flashlight. So this flashlight has shown me what a zoomable LED can really do. I love it.

I dropped it a couple of times but it still works without any diminution of any feature. I am using this torch all of the time now and it is a fun flashlight to use. I have a dog and we make a couple of walks at night and a bright torch is nice as we have had several coyote sightings. I like the zoom-out for tracking what my dog does (I hope I'm not putting a lit-target on my dog), poop or pee.

So. This might be the 1 in 4 Cree UltraFire flashlights that works. But I don't believe that. I have been using only this WindFire since I received it. I ordered the flashlight on 24 July and received it on 26 July (you can't beat the Prime for price and for meeting the delivery times it promises), the date guaranteed by Amazon. The package arrived in perfect shape, all of the contents were securely set in material that suggested these products would make it in the same condition as shipped if the gorilla employed by UPS in a commercial was throwing the package around and smashing it to the ground.

I bought the 4 Cree UltraFire flashlight because I was skeptical of the advertisement of the terrific flashlight for $10. A 25% success rate doesn't seem horrible for a $10 flashlight but the one light that did end up working took several encouraging taps on the body and pulling the spring gently out from the tail cap. The other 3 were treated exactly the same but gave up the ghost after a few tries. I've thought about buying another WindFire or two as backup but the flashlight doesn't seem to be having any trouble. I will definitely buy a second one if this one stops working. I will buy some for gifts to family and friends.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone. A $23 flashlight with battery and charger, with incredible light, that seems to be fairly durable, with the first zoom that really works, and is fun to use, is a no-brainer purchase.

Actually, I think I will buy several more. When everyone that needs a good flashlight finds out about this one, and when the manufacturer or marketer finds out that this light could be sold for much more, the price is not going to stay at $23.

This looks really tough on the outside, but I had this for less than a month and the little pieces inside the battery compartment broke off. Now the battery doesn't make contact and no light. It was super bright at the beginning but it seems every time you charge the battery, there is less power. Also there is a wierd warning about extreme danger if the battery is not properly installed in the charger. I worry that my kids might put the battery in backwards... will it rupture and send battery acid everywhere or what?

Not worth the money in my opinion. In general it seems that the quality of products and service you get on line is not as good as it used to be. I have received 6 orders in the past few months with broken products, products leaking parts from the box because of improper packaging, etc.

If this continues I will stop shopping online. If something like this flashlight that is supposed to be durable isn't backed by more than a 30 day return policy, there is something wrong.

Solar Powered Motion Sensor Detector Alarm Review

Customer Ratings:

Wow! And a second WOW! This solar powered motion detector alarm I purchased through Amazon will blow the socks off any intruder!(And neighbors). I love it because it powers itself; it can be 3-set for off; or (mine has an on-range of about twenty feet plus a side angle coverage) blink the brightest blue colored police-like warning lights; or press the one of the two pushbutton switches and the blinking will accompany a commandeering voice of warning about entering your protected area. Plus, from Amazin' Amazon, I also installed the greatest and reasonable (to me, as a retired engineer)available solar powered motion detecting Light that uses white LEDs by Concept. So we also have light on the intruder..(together, a few weeks ago, they frightened away a bear who visited us at 4 A.M.looking for his din-din).

One problem with the alarm. DO NOT DROP THE TWO FOREIGN-MADE SCREWS they are the thinnest and the only ones that fit the two small mounting holes. Lose one and you'll regret it! Lucky we had a magnet to comb the surrounding grass. And if absolutely necessary, drilling a larger hole(s) for American size might ruin the inside sealed-in components. Otherwise, M.Lucky says: BUY 'EM BOTH ALARM & LIGHT! (from Amazon, of course)!

Upon receipt of this item I was suspicious of its ability to withstand the elements. It is cheaply made, however, I decided to keep it due to the inexpensive price. The first night I noticed that only the blue LED lights were flashing when sensing motion. No audible alarm or voice warning as advertised. I tried the unit in all switch functions, but still no audio. I figured the batteries needed additional charging, so I left the unit in the bright direct sun all of the following day. That evening, same thing, i.e., no audible alarm, just flashing lights. Repeated the process the next day, but still no audible alarm. Note that I did check the alarm in all switch settings just to be sure.

I contacted Amazon and said that I would simply like to return the alarm for a refund, so they provided a label and instructions to return the alarm to Home Clever. There was no mention of paid postage, so I figured I would have to absorb the postage, which I did, and sent it via USPS registered. Several days later, I received an email from Home Clever telling me that they received the alarm, however, were charging me a 15% restocking fee because the alarm was set to the "Mute" setting. I replied that (I'm not an idiot), and tried the alarm in all settings, but it still did not sound the alarm or voice warning. No reply from them after 2 additional emails. They still hit me with the restocking fee which amounted to $3.75.

So, for a lousy $3.75, I am writing this poor review. I had to pay return postage for a product that doesn't work and a 15% restocking fee as well.

Stay away from this company and their products. You don't want to deal with them no matter the price of the products. I hope they read this and realize what $3.75 can possibly cost them in the long run.

Not very loud, but that is a good thing in my case. False alarms all the time. I have this installed in my driveway (not facing the street and about 40 feet away from traffic, not facing traffic)This thing goes off all the time, even when the is nothing around. I would never know if someone was really there or not. Good thing it's not any louder, or the neighbors would be calling the police on me!

Honest reviews on Solar Powered Motion Sensor Detector Alarm

This tiny device is very effective and extremely loud when the sound is turned on. In the light-only mode, an intruder is likely to think it's a video camera. I want to get another to see if it might scare deer away from our garden.

I PURCHASED 3 OF THESE FOR SECURITY IN MY BACK YARD. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THESE UNITS AS THEY GIVE A WARNING WITH PULSATING LIGHTS WITH 2 CYCLES THEN RESET. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THEY WILL ACTIVATE WHEN THERE IS A BREESE BLOWING IN THE TREES WITHIN THE RADIUS OF THE SENSORS THEREBY GIVING FALSE ALERTS. ALSO THEY MUST HAVE A DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT TO THE SUN TO CHARGE LIMITING THE PLACEMENT OF THE UNITS.
