For those using these as Reverse Lights, how far do these throw usable light and over how wide of an area?

GREAT LIGHTS I bought these for interior & underhood lighting, but honestly NOT bright enough for reverse lights unless you piggyback a 1/2 dozen or so on each side then you may have enough light to be visible from a fair distance. For the price i'd probably order 18 pieces, 6 on each and a few for spares then call it a day!

In the dark; spread is wide, but sharp enough for (up to) 4' and washes out around 9'. Sets of four would work well for 'back up' lights in most conditions. (Of course) -wires are thin so be prepared to tin them & make good connections

These are not bright enough to be used as reverse lights at least on my truck.

I put 5 of them on the back of my Ford Ranger and they light it up pretyty good. Don't have a specific distance but I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Not sure. They would be too bright for inside of a car. They are pretty good for Reverse lights

I used these lights as a retrofit for my fluorescent fixtures and I am more than pleased with them. They give off much brighter and better light than the fluorescent tubes they replaced. One of these fixtures was above the vanity and my wife has never complained about not having enough light. Our coach also has a vanity light right below this fixture (at the top of the mirror) and she never uses it because she doesn't like the light it gives off. Hope that helps.

The ones I have are 4.5W and 4.5H inches and mine work very well in my back yard and I have 20 lights.

I'm not sure I have them as reverse lights and they work great. I couldn't tell you about blinkers.

Our's are mounted at the front of the cabinets which puts them over the middle of the countertops. The lip at the bottom of the cabinets then shields the lights from view. They give plenty of light for that setup, but can't say for sure how they would do from the back. I would guess they would be OK but they might be too visible. Hope that is of some use.

Probably not. I use mine to highlight a palm and a couple of crape myrtles and they're more than adequate for that. I'm assuming you'd be mounting on the house to illuminate the drive and these might do OK for 20 feet or so, but not too much past that.

they are a very small light but work good on the back of a fire truck. there about maybe 4" tall And maybe 5" round and there strobe not led. I used them for top marker lights on the back top of two of my fire trucks because i need something that would be low enough not to catch on the garage doors when the trucks were put back in the firehouse.

Keith said spot. I think they have to much spread to be spot. They light up a pretty large area despite being mounted about 6' off the ground in my application.

I mounted them about 25 feet high and they light a very large area very well. As for the size, I'm really not sure. I've had other lights that just stopped working in a couple of months. This light comes on with the slightest movement and goes off when it's supposed to.

I have a pair mounted on my jeep and they will illuminate an object up to about 125 to 150 yards. Much farther if the object is reflective, such as a street sign.

Not sure on the angle and doesn't seem to brighten very far out. Unless you are going to use multiple pairs with different focal points I'd stick with high wattage halogen or a full led bar.

depends on how you aim them. mine light up the road about 100-150 feet ahead.

not bad at all, you need to know how to position them best to use the little light you have. like if you have a tv on, you dont want to point into the light .

Mine are Approx 20 feet, 13 watt compact florescent. Use regular incandescent bulbs if you want to use them on a dimmer. Spacing should not be an issue like with low voltage DC lites, these are 110 AC

I have mine mounted dead center front to back. They produce a lot of light and I can't imagine it would be compromised much setting them back further. Hope this helps, they are a great product.
