those aren't that bright, I installed about 200+ feet of that stuff or at least stuff just like it. I've got a small strip about 4" long, let me see if I can light it up and get a real world pic
 
Best bang for buck by FAR.

20 lights for 26 bucks.

ya I looked at those also, a little $$$ for my taste but look real good. I just ordered the lights Chris posted up,in a couple weeks I'll be lucky if there's no snow on the ground so I can wire them:rolleyes:
 





Those are bright!!! I have 2 different sets installed. I have the Tantrums and another set I installed before that. Those are 6 55watt driving light. They are about the same. The Tantrums are bright enough, you don't want them too bright. 2 complaints with them though. The screws they come with are so small and crappy, I srltripped them. I drilled out the holes in the light bigger and used bigger screws. I also used sillicone to seal and secure them. The other complaint is the wires are long. Very long. Easy fix though.
 
How did you mount those?

They come with a 3M adhesive backing. I just epoxied mine to some magnets. They also have a couple of screw holes you could use.

These ship from Taiwan, took about a month for mine to show up.

I really like the white soft mount LEDs you can get at trailer supply stores. Like for reverse lights. The work phenominally. Theyre cheap. AND they're waterproof to boot.

Any pics or links to the products you speak of? What price range do these go for?
 
Here are my tantrums with an extra 2 pointing out the back, for a total of 10. Then a 8" bar on the front, sitting in my shop with no other lights on.
