CHEAP replacement led strips for vp rigid housings?

[calcagno45]

Works good. Need to tighten the pivot on the mount but good.

Edit: and drop it down. Looks like it's wayyyy up there.

Only after about an hour of run time one of my VP Q Series lights stopped working. Anyone replace a Q Series LED?

I'd like to know what led vp uses for those, they are bright. But try contacting vp for a replacement?

Me as well. They were very nice and VERY bright for sure. I did contact them through the "Contact Us" on the website but no response yet. Will contact them via phone next week. If they weren't so expensive i would just chuck the housing but would like a replacement if i could. Heck i would buy 2 just in case.

i got my strip from them for around 20 bucks shipped iirc.

Still no word from VP and i haven't had the chance to call yet.

I decided to open up the light since there was no reason like a pop, sizzle or smoke for it to stop working.

Neg - Not burnt just bad lighting



Hmmm That doesn't look right. Pos + unsoldered itself



Should i re-solder? I found the LED board with no wires online if it would be better to start from scratch.

Hook it up to power/ground and press the wire to board/solder and see if it works. If so, solder it back on and your good to go. Easy fix.

I'm using this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10W-...608.0.0.h94RTi and it's crazy bright. However you'll need an LED driver in order to make it work correctly, something like this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/High...608.0.0.h94RTi. Or you can use a variable CC step down module and you can adjust the mAh as you want http://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-LM2596...wAAOSwt5hYb5jk
I installed the chip on a aluminium angle, with a little thermal adhesive and this is the final result:

Thanks for the tip Yoda. Got it working and finished the install onto a Rovan/King Motor Truck Bumper. Shot a little video test to show how bright they are. My camera is crap at night but i think you can see the amount of light these have.
