It's not 180W!

Almost all Chinese suppliers of these LED panels and modules falsely advertise performance. I'm an electrical engineer so I know how to measure power. At 12.38 V DC measured on the light strip, the current was 2.9 A. That's 35.9 W. A far cry from 180 watts. Also, the included wiring harness is just 16 gauge wire going to the lightbar. Standard current tables are based on 16 gauge copper wire for current transfer at 3.7 amps. Beware of these overrated power ratings on LED products. Also pay attention to very high luminous flux values. Although there is no mathematical relationship between watts and lumens, modern LEDs can generally be assumed to have 80 to 100 lumens per watt of conversion.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Concise instructions
