Sorry for the long post, but I have a few questions/concerns/warnings maybe?
I did buy these, was very excited while waiting the 5 days for them from Ca. Got them, installed them a couple did not work so I checked the plug first, 2 of them had been wiring backwards (polarity) put those back in the packages, took out two more. I bought 20 so I would have 5 extra. They seemed real bright. Took a shower, left 2 lights on in the bathroom kept smelling something burning. Got out of the shower and noticed that the 2 I had in the bathroom were so hot that the light covers were starting to melt. WAY TO HOT.
Long story short I turned the rest of them on one by one, gave them about 5 mins of run time and they all started to melt my plastic light covers.. Voltage at the light socket is 12.4 I will be contacting the seller to see if maybe I got a bad batch or something. Kinda disappointed. Was really hoping to save battery juice when boondocking...
