New Batch 10 watt LED's Arrive Back Spasms
Yep, they arrived. Made an adapter connector to connect a pair of plates to a 12.24 volt regulated power supply.
Eight of the twelve have one LED segment that does not light
Two of the twelve have more than one LED segment that does not light.
Two of the twelve have all 20 LED chips light up.
"Hmm, seem sorta dim. Rechecked voltage. 12.24."
"Checked watts. 2.6 watts each, whether 20 segments lit or 18"
Rechecked instrumentation. Verified OK. But substituted got same reading. Two point six WATTS for a device rated 10 watts.
Each plate is about as bright as a $2.99 Harbor Freight battery powered LED trouble light. You know, the blue ones.
So my chuckle grew into a laugh, then a belly laugh, then aw jeez, a cramp. I had to go lay down.
I came down to the store, got online, and read a "so sorry for tardy shipment" email apology from the Chinese vendor. They are sending another dozen free. I am going to be the regional baron of almost good white LED 12 volt lighting. God my side hurts! Oh yeah, the originals cost $2.99 ea free shipping.
