Default 12v LED Lights

Selling my self-made 12v led lights. 3 years use.

Suitable for outside, uv-resistant plastic housings, everything epoxy set. Theoretically they should work underwater.

Each has an approximate 6' lead, the first 12" is protected in black loom.

Tally:

(1) 32 LED Blue (1 dead LED, effectively a 31 LED light)
(1) 16 LED Blue (1 dead LED, effectively a 15 LED light)

(1) 32 LED Red
(1) 16 LED Red

(3) 32 LED UV (1 of the 3 units has 2 dead LEDs)
(3) 16 LED UV (1 of the 3 units has 4 dead LEDs)

Ten units in all.

The reds and blues are really nice imho. I lit up my graveyard with them. Place them about 8' from whatever you want for a nice wash.

It takes a LOT of UV LEDs to really have any sort of effect. The 16 LED UV is only suitable for close-in lighting, like 1-2', and has a spot-type effect rather than a flood. The 32 LED UV units are decent from about 4'. I used 64 UV LEDs to light up my countdown sign.

I had purchased Minion's Web 120v LED bulbs last year (great bulbs btw). I would say the reds and blues are about the same in output. ie an 18 LED 120v red bulb was about equivalent to one of my 18 LED 12v units.

I'm selling because I am going to redesign for next year and use higher output RGB LEDs. The 120v bulbs are nice but you can't beat the simplicity of 12v wiring and I don't have to worry about my kids getting electrocuted

You can use a battery (I use a lawn mower battery), wall wart or even your PC power supply to furnish power to the LEDs. Applying power the wrong way (ie connecting the (-) on the battery to the (+) on the LED will not damage them).

Asking $40 + shipping. I have a PayPal business account.

Hi,

I really would like to get rid of them as a lot. Also, I forgot to mention price is +S/H.

Thanks for looking,
Tim
