"Is this a 24 5050 panel, or did they send me something else...?"

AllCool,
The spec sheet I found for white 5050 LEDs (http://www.wayjun.com/Datasheet/Led/5050%20SMD%20LED.pdf) shows between 14-16 lumens per LED, so 24 ought to yield roughly 360 lumens. The luminous efficacy of a typical incandescent bulb is 16 lumens per watt, so 360 lumens would only be equivalent to a 25W bulb... not particularly bright and considerably less than many of the flashlights I have stashed around the house.

I'm guessing you got what you paid for.

Thanks for the reply DAWg134...
My problem is the rated lumen don't seem to be there.
If I had to guess, I'd say maybe 3 or 4 of these panels 'might' be as much light as the 1141 th bulbs. Actually they seem so weak it might take even more to equal the TH 1141 bulbs.

My 1141 stock trailer bulbs are 18.4 watts and from what I've read, suppose to be approximately 260 lumen. My 1141 TH bulbs put out much much more light than these 24-5050 panels. The 24-5050 should put out over 360 lumen. Either the led ratings are way off, or all led smd 24-5050 panels are not created equally at all, huge difference.

Imo,the difference in light output is very easy to see looking at both, 1141 and 24-5050, both fired up in a totally dark garage. I know this isn't at all scientific, but don't have a light meter to get exact output. But by eye, Not even close... 1141 blows it away in output. I'd be surprised if these particular brand 24-5050 panels put out even 100 lumen.

I probably did get what I paid for. $18 dollars worth...
Its not much for 10 panels. But was hoping to get at least what was advertised as 24-5050 panels that truly put out anywhere close to 360 lumen... tgtbt
