I missed these the first time! I’m really glad they’re back so soon. And if I like 'em, maybe I’ll hope for another coming just like some guy I used to know.
Bought them in December. These are super high quality. heavy duty. Work great in my kitchen. Going for another 3 to finish the job. So bright I have to wear shades (laugh like erkle)
It says 338 lumens which, at least according to the conversion chart I looked at, is less than 40 watts incandescent which isn’t very bright. Does it then seem brighter since the bulb is 16" long (@bugger says they are bright)? I need lights since this apt has one kitchen overhead and one bulb in the bathroom and nothing else. I do have some lamps but I also need something else too. I like bright light, lots of light (and I face north in this apt and only two windows so on its own not so bright) not dim light.
@sparkyfarad I appreciate your suggestions and explanation. I also need to buy more lamps or lights as up until now I have always had overhead lights in each room and now I don’t.
Can anyone who bought these post pictures of your install? I would like some under-cabinet lighting in my kitchen, but I’ve been turned off (no pun intended) by these needing to be plugged into a wall outlet. They’ve touted that you don’t need to run wires with these, but I’d prefer the cleaner look from running wires to having a power cord running up my wall and under my cabinets. That’s not noticeable in Meh’s photo, though. How have you installed these?
@gmr_krm It seems that since the power is strung together, does that mean that one switch at the start of the daisychain can turn on/off all those in the series afterward?
The spec listing color temperature as “3026 K (Bright white)” is clearly wrong. Bright white would be about 5500 Kelvin, the equivalent of midday sunlight. 3026 K is an old-school incandescent light bulb, very yellow. I’m guessing the specs are wrong.
Anyway, these are way too expensive for what they are. $21 (total) each with arrival 10-14 days later, versus $30 at Amazon and have them in 1-2 days. Now, if they were $7 each… Oh, and: !!!
Oh Great! The next day Meh sells a LED light that will light up when an intruder coming into my house so that the the cameras I decided not to buy yesterday don’t give me the opportunity to see somebody break in to my house, steal my stuff, make a sandwich, take a dump on my Trump Gold plated toilet, make some microwavable popcorn, take s nap, eat my kids porridge, sit on my recliner, mess up my beds, make some quesadillas, smoke my Cuban cigars, take my chihuahua for a walk, watch the fake news about that crazy president that was elected on CNN, take a shower, have some Makers Mark on ice, give them self an enema, go crap all over the Trump toilet again, back up the toilet, play mine craft on my Xbox, do the laundry, mop the kitchen, pick up my dogs shit, fold the laundry, make phone call calls to Eastern Europe, order pizza, order a mail order bride from Russia, take selfies imitating Trumps “Your Fired” line, cook dinner, eat the 20 cases of Girl Scouts cookies my daughter has to sell, clean out my garage, and do the dishes. No thanks, Meh again!

LED by the Meh light - bright idea!
Stinky Pinky!!!
@sammydog01
16" of LED bliss.
Sorry, I only buy dimmable LED bars of the 16 inch variety from Eastek. The difference is day and night.
@Mehsturbator Good One!
Dim situtation, not sure watt to do…
I won’t be LED by this.
This seems expensive to me. I can only assume that means it’s a higher class item than I’m not meant to own.
That’s not a FOSCAM.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is just three LED lights installed into a bar, right? The bar doesn’t diffuse the light or anything?
@HELLOALICE correct, it does not.
Go forthek and bring back the Halo lights.
Weaktek…
Why so expensive? At this price it needs a battery backup unit and bluetooth speaker.
Well crap. I needed 2 more and didn’t think they’d be back so soon so I got them from another “deal” site for a tiny bit more.
But look at me all up on the front page n shit. My 15 minutes of meh ¯_(ツ)_/¯
@Pufferfishy hey! Review em!
Hokay, Meh. Really? “Sturdy 16” light strips that are tuck away nicely under cabinets and whatnot…"
We is not amused.
I feel like there’s a joke hiding in here somewhere about things that are $1 per inch…
@Andrew_B Too spendy.
Those indoor/outdoor blindingly bright hybrid rope lights were like $1 a foot. That seems like a better deal.
I missed these the first time! I’m really glad they’re back so soon. And if I like 'em, maybe I’ll hope for another coming just like some guy I used to know.
@mechcozmo You knew Ron Jeremy?
@cinoclav Jesus, Ron Jeremy, basically the same thing
No 12v or 24v input? Damn, I need more 12v stuff for my RV. All these flashlights aren’t cutting it.
@Starwind I bought some of these, but I haven’t installed any yet.

@bugger Umm…These are dimmable, don’t you know ?
@sparkyfarad Yup, hold de button down a what the what they dim
@bugger see…I told you so !
@sparkyfarad Oh, your good, REAL goood.
It says 338 lumens which, at least according to the conversion chart I looked at, is less than 40 watts incandescent which isn’t very bright. Does it then seem brighter since the bulb is 16" long (@bugger says they are bright)? I need lights since this apt has one kitchen overhead and one bulb in the bathroom and nothing else. I do have some lamps but I also need something else too. I like bright light, lots of light (and I face north in this apt and only two windows so on its own not so bright) not dim light.
@Kidsandliz These are under cabinet lights which project light in one direction only and probably have a very short cord. I would suggest you simply get LED bulbs shaped like regular bulbs for your lamps:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Philips-60W-Equivalent-Daylight-A19-LED-Light-Bulb-4-Pack-460329/206557595
If you like a warmer color than daylight you can use something like these:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/EcoSmart-60W-Equivalent-Soft-White-A19-Basic-Non-Dimmable-LED-Light-Bulb-8-Pack-5cSA800STQ101/206836838
If your lamps have shades that do not clamp onto the bulb then you can use two bulbs with a twin adapter:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-660-Watt-Keyless-Twin-Socket-Lamp-Holder-Adapter-R52-00128-00W/100356967
and have up to twice the light.
With the above twin adapter you could even elect for one daylight and one soft white in the same lamp.
My rule of thumb is approx 6 times the LED consumption wattage equals the incandescent equivalent.
For example, two LED bulbs @ 10 watts each would approximate 120 watts of incandescent light.
Hope this helps.
@sparkyfarad I appreciate your suggestions and explanation. I also need to buy more lamps or lights as up until now I have always had overhead lights in each room and now I don’t.

@jqubed I didn’t want to drill or splice so it looks like this:
@jqubed I don’t have a picture, but you can string these together instead of plugging each one into an outlet.
@gmr_krm It seems that since the power is strung together, does that mean that one switch at the start of the daisychain can turn on/off all those in the series afterward?
@whitealashasian you’d think so, but no
@clarinetbob @chowland @sparkyfarad
The goal is this?
Meh – Wrong again, they’re boring.
If you string some of these together do you have to turn each one on/off individually?
Would love to know how the function works as well. I thought about buying them last time but didn’t see the answer to this.
@videodave yes, unfortunately.
The spec listing color temperature as “3026 K (Bright white)” is clearly wrong. Bright white would be about 5500 Kelvin, the equivalent of midday sunlight. 3026 K is an old-school incandescent light bulb, very yellow. I’m guessing the specs are wrong.

What is the life of the bulbs? Are the bulbs replaceable, or is it a throwaway?
@werekong they’re LEDs, there are no bulbs.
@werekong it doesn’t list the rated life of the LEDs but commonly LEDs are rated from 20,000 hours to 50,000 hours before fail.
Wow…places where they’re being bought…Idaho, Montana, and Maine. Must be dark there this time of year…
As the young pope says ILLuminate me
Oh Great! The next day Meh sells a LED light that will light up when an intruder coming into my house so that the the cameras I decided not to buy yesterday don’t give me the opportunity to see somebody break in to my house, steal my stuff, make a sandwich, take a dump on my Trump Gold plated toilet, make some microwavable popcorn, take s nap, eat my kids porridge, sit on my recliner, mess up my beds, make some quesadillas, smoke my Cuban cigars, take my chihuahua for a walk, watch the fake news about that crazy president that was elected on CNN, take a shower, have some Makers Mark on ice, give them self an enema, go crap all over the Trump toilet again, back up the toilet, play mine craft on my Xbox, do the laundry, mop the kitchen, pick up my dogs shit, fold the laundry, make phone call calls to Eastern Europe, order pizza, order a mail order bride from Russia, take selfies imitating Trumps “Your Fired” line, cook dinner, eat the 20 cases of Girl Scouts cookies my daughter has to sell, clean out my garage, and do the dishes. No thanks, Meh again!
@kramarrap you have 20 cases of Girl Scout Cookies in your house?
@jbartus yes, she has to sell a ton of cookies. They call it a good for character.
Snagged one on the last deal…pretty nifty light.
If I string them together and turn on 1, will they all turn on or do I need to turn on each one individually?
@steeb someone commented earlier that you need to turn them on individually
