Looking for LED lights to replace older 3x5 or 4x6 halogens

[sixdogs]

Another question - has anybody run across these with a built-in switch?

My question as well. On my old halogen lights I took it apart, drilled a hole in the case and put in a waterproof on-off switch. The LED's I'm no looking at have a pigtail out the back so I wonder in an inline thumb "rocker" switch is a better idea.

Where I get mine, always. Have a money back guarantee as well plus they list all the specs for the lamps.

Buying them from Amascon will always be a crapshoot, no matter what. You don't know if they are of good quality and returning defective ones dealing with Amascon will always be a crapshoot.

These have a bit smaller current draw

I've had good luck with the LED lights I've purchased from Amazon

Agreed. I bought a Makita impact gun advertised as new in the box but it came through in a ripped open opened box and returned box. I returned it. Next up a vacuum and obviously used and no box. Sent it back as well. I forgot over a few months and then bought an expensive flashlight. Opened, used and returned. Back it goes.

I'm done with that type of stuff from Amazon. I can buy the same things local for a few $$ more--but no hassle--and help those guys. There's also Lowes and Home Depot mail order that delivers free right to my door. No muss, no fuss and I get what I want.

Amascon does have a interesting return policy... You return something and then they resell it to an unsuspecting customer. Not something I consider an up front and honest business policy.

Had that happen as well and returned the return item. They probably passed it on to another customer, I don't doubt that one bit actually.

I am going to replace the whole housing. I can't see the amp draw listed on any of the lights. My fuse for the lights I'm changing is 10 amp so I need to keep it under that. Where do I find this or how is it computed. I know draw is low on LED.

Amperage	‎6.67 Amps

Watts divided by Voltage. 80w/12 volts= 6.67 amps

Never had a problem returning anything on amazon. I have also had the cheapest LED pod lights I could find on there for 6yrs. I believe they where $23 a pair.

Actually, this is interesting for those of us who use Amazon for farm stuff. For the original poster, I have wired several tractors and my RTV with add-on LED bars and pod lights from NiLights bought off of Amazon. No problems after a couple of years of use - buy their lights and paddle switches and use my own fuse blocks and feeder wiring harnesses (but their harnesses are sometimes plenty long enough). Make sure I use a heavy enough ground wire source to support the lights.

So...my experience, no problems. But a Harbor Freight light bar has done fine as well...

I also order a lot of Amazon stuff for the farm, from small parts to Hydraulic cylinders, Shell Rotella oil, starter for the Kubota RTV, Lucas grease, Stanadyne additives, etc, etc. Well, you get the idea. For years and years. I don't seem to have problems. But 5030's experience has been a lot different than mine. Don't know if area makes a difference - I'm in Kentucky.

I do try to choose a vendor that's "fulfilled by Amazon," and has a good rating. If only a few ratings, or a low rating, I choose a different vendor. Maybe that explains part of this. (Amazon has a review rating function now, which isn't perfect, but seems somewhat helpful).

What about others here? Having any patterns of problems with Amazon? Just curious.
