Super Bright & Slim Pre-Wired Surface Mount 12V LED : 5050 SMD

I have RGB halo headlights in my Camaro and I wanted a small discreet LED inside so I could verify which color was being displayed. I installed these in my console where there are out of the way but still visible. I like them because they are just bright enough to be seen but not so bright that they are a distraction. Such a unique product, single RGB LED's that are controllable are hard to find in a ready made package.

I've used a few dozen 505's to light various parts of my car, including the cup holders. They are small, VERY bright, and durable. These are the best LED's I've ever used and I've been an electronic tech for over 35 years.

My classic car (Triumph TR5) has no interior lights as standard, and being a convertible, it is difficult to get lights above the dash. I wanted something very small and discrete. Two of these fitted neatly underneath the interior mirror (cool white) and two in the footwells (green to match the carpets). The results are superb, and very reasonably priced too.

BTW... these come on every night from dusk to dawn via a 12volt power adapter plugged into a photocell outdoor timer. And I actually used 50, not 40. 100% still functioning several years later. Going to replace several 12 Volt 20 watt halogen bulbs in our landscape pathway lights with two or three of these to save a lot of money on energy costs and annaul bulb replacement. Not to mention the cost associated with landscapers replacing the burnt-out bulbs. We have around 30 copper and glass pathway lights to convert. That is a huge amount of energy savings. They will pay for themselves. Direct halogen bi-pin replacement LEDs (purchased elsewhere) failed after a few short months. Knowing these 5050 last, it's a no brainer for me. I will post pics of conversion process and end result. Cheers.

I installed these over almost four years ago. No a single one of the 40 installed has come off or quit working. These are very high quality LEDs. The adhesive side is super strong and has survived the Seattle weather flawlessly. Click through the "action shots" to see how I used these on my deck. Here to order more for a decking project for my sisters house.

I'm using a few of the RGB 5050 units as part of the ambient lighting system I designed for my 2015 Ford Fusion. They work very well lighting the cup-holders and the forward console bay. I used 6" encapsulated flexible strips for the front foot-wells and under the seats. The problem is that the mounting tape DOES NOT hold up very well in the automotive interior environment, even when you degrease and clean the surface you are mounting them to. I was able to remove the tape from the 6" strips and replace it with the proper 3M automotive trim tape. The single 5050 units are too delicate to remove the tape, but so far just adding a same-size square of the 3M tape on top of whatever Oznium used has worked, just making it a little taller. My ambient lighting system cost a small fraction of what Ford charges for their add-on version, and is MUCH better!

My wife's motorcycle turn signals do not self cancel so quite often she would ride for miles before turning them off. I took two of these (blue) and mounted them to the windshield bracket and then ran the wires into the headlight bucket and connected them to the turn signals. They worked perfectly and no way you can forget to cancel the turn signal. Much cheaper than the canceling device for sale on the Internet and they look neat too. Going to wire some red ones to the tail light and stick them to the license plate frame.

I'd bought two of the million color 5050 variant, & the moment I powered them on with eight AA batteries just one of these 'lil buggers was like the surface of the sun when looking at it.

I had also purchased the mini micro controller for the multi-colored LEDs, and I must say that it allowed for stellar results with its many features. I plan to use these lights for my company's first cosplay/prop item that utilizes some methods known, & one combinatiin of three materials never before seen together as one.

I am extremely pleased with these LEDs. I emailed the support team with my problem. I need lots of light, but I need battery life too. They recommended these, and they are amazing.

Great product, great support.

I made a costume for Halloween last year and wanted to incorporate and LED into the mask I was wearing. I bought 2 red surface mounts in case one of them wasn't bright enough I would use the 2nd one too. The first one was definitely bright enough and I held on to the unopened one in case the ribbon on the one ripped or broke I had another to replace it. I didn't have to worry about that at all, and it held up for the entire run of the haunted hayride I was working at. Very bright and received many compliments on it. Still have the 2nd one still in it's package and I just ordered 2 different ones for my costume this year. The one from last year is still going strong too.
