Piranha Bar

All Customer Questions

Question

I'm thinking of making my own underglow kit.
Are these brighter then the beefy leds and/or Flex leds or both? - by Sam (Miami, FL)

Answer

They are about the same brightness. For making your own underbody kit, I'd suggest the SMD Bars since they have a very low profile and are waterproof.

Question

Will I get more lumens from 3-white bars or 1-each of a red,green and blue??

Answer

You'll get more lumens and better results from 3-white bars.

While in theory, the 1-each of red, green, and blue will produce a white color, you'll have trouble with "shadows" since the light source of each color is a few inches apart.

Question

How is the reliability of the leds on these? I have bought a few of the flexible led strips and I keep having problems with them going out. Also, to waterproof, do you need to silicone just where the wire goes in or all around the plastic end? - by Robert (Henderson, NV)

Answer

We have never had any problems with this product.

Question

Is the bar flexible - by Carl (Dover Oh.)

Answer

Question

are these water proof? if not how can i water proof them?

Answer

They are not waterproof. You can waterproof them by adding silicone to both ends.

Question

If the lights are too bright, is there a dimmer made for them? - by TERRY (WHITNEY TEXAS)

Answer

You can use a simple potentiometer available at any decent electronics store.

Question

What do I need to regulate them, to flash or cycle in a pattern?

Answer

You'd need some sort of 12v flasher for them to flash. They can't do patterns unless you take it apart and reconfigure the way it's wired, as it is currently set up for the whole bar to go on/off.

Question

How bright are these LED's? I need to replace my blue lights for my POv on the fire dept. Also would there be any problems using a flasher unit on these? - by Bob (Ash Grove, Mo.)

Answer

Very bright. No, no problems hooking up to a flasher unit.

Question

How exactly do I hook them up? Is it the same way as the flex strips?

Answer

Yup, standard 12v two-wire hookup.

Question

Can the Piranha Bar be cut?

Answer

Absolutely! They can be cut every 2 inches (or 3 LEDs).
