Are these actually running 3 watts per diode? or have they been resisted to 2 watts?Thanks

Most of the chips run on 3 watts, but the chips inclined to the red spectrum are resisted to 2 watts.

They are listed as 20 watts, but I am running 40 watts as rear deck units on my convertible. Good sound cuts through the wind noise.

Wattage is not an issue. I've had some almost double. But do not waste your money on these. The low beams only last about a month max and within a few days the foil tips will start to peel.

I believe they use a 55 watt bulb, so at 12 volts, that's a bit under 5 amps.I use 2 of them on a 10amp fused circuit, hasn't blown yet.

I have 3 strips of LEDs(900 individual LEDs) and in total they take 17 amps. How are you getting 20 amps??There may be no need to double up at the terminals.

They're marked at 3.7 V.... Mine were actually ranging from 4.7 to 5.2V. Not safe!!!

The ones I bought were 5 watts/12 volts. I needed them for a KitchenAid oven. Exactly what I needed.

The ones I bought are 110v and work great. They are being used in outdoor lighting fixtures that are controlled by a timer. Turns out they do attract bugs, so different bulbs with a different color spectrum of light might be better for outdoors. Otherwise, no complaints and my electricity consumption has been cut from 240 watts for 4 hours a night to 24 watts for four hours a night, sweet. Good luck.

I'm not sure of the wattage but I can tell you that these LED are very bight, I used them as my turn signal lights and as day/night running lights..

The lights are rated for 85w, but there is a lot of confusion as to if that's 85w total, or 85w for each socket. You can definitely use 4x23w CFL (100watt equivalent) which is actually a little over 85 watts, and they sell these with 4x45watt CFL's, so I'm assuming the listed 85watts is not total, but for each socket. I do know from experience... if you put 4 100watt incandescents in there, you'll definitely blow the fuse in the light (I've done it).

Mine is coming in at 109 watts. So they are not the 125 watt they are saying, but still seems to be working well.

the power supply shown here would only run ONE LED strip. Each strip (Amazon item Triangle Bulbs T93007) uses 25 watts at 12 volts DC which is 2.1 amps So 6 strips would use 150 watts or 12.5 amps. You would want to up those ratings by at least 20%. However I suspect the internal wiring structure of these LED strips is too light to carry more than two strips connected together. Two strips would be 50 watts or 4.2 amps at 12 volts dc.

They are 5 watt from the description on the box. I use them in my nightlights, and they are sufficient. Hope this helps with your decision.

They seem to handle between 1 - 1.5 amps no problem. Going over 2 you might fry it. You can also check out this load test video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYf7qKuZF_I

These don't have a wattage rating, per se, since they just send a signal to the main dimmer (eg: MAW600H-WH) to turn on and what level to set. The main dimmer, either 600 or 1,000 watts, which ever you installed, is still carrying the load. This isn't a true "three-way" switch setup, it's more of a remote controller.

These are SMD LEDs, which are designed for 12.0V-DC. The will, however operate on as little as 9V, up to a maximum of 18V before damaging them. They are DC ONLY! Running on AC current will damage them permanently. Also, 16.4' utilizes roughly 24W of power, and requires 2A output minimum on the power supply. If you are running these from the RV battery bank or the alternator, you will have more than ample power to supply several of these strips nightly. I am running six strips of these lights, one of them 24x7 from a bank of two 100Ah deep-cycle batteries, and the draw per day is only 12% of my total off-charge capacity daily. One strip can be ran for 4-days or more, without recharge! In an average RV setting, 4-6 hours per night, two batteries will supply the several strips for a week without need for recharge.
