LED sukkah lights in the US
« on: November 03, 2019, 12:03:13 PM »
I was in Israel for Sukkos and the stores were selling waterproof LED lights that were 3-4" wide. My hosts had one in their sukkah and it was very nice, much better than the shop light I've used forever. Are these available in the US?

The LED’s I got were worthless after 1 drizzle. Are those really waterproof ?

I got 3 LED shop lights at HD, but initially only put 2 of them up. One went bad. When I put up the next one I decided to leave it in the plastic bag it came in, just as an extra measure of protection.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I bought outdoor fixtures and put LED bulbs into them.

This type of fixture but much cheaper and a few of them.

These aren't shop lights. They're narrower and shorter. Where I was it rained pretty hard once, but clearly EY isn't the best place to test how waterproof sukkah lights are.

I got the Fiet shoplight from Costco and all the wholes were directly against the 2x4 so no rain got into it despite the heavy rain over Hoshanah Rabbah. (incidentally, the 1st one I got was ruined when the succah collapsed in the storm, and Costco took it back without a problem)

I bought a strip light set from Costco https://www.costco.com/feit-electric-wi-fi-smart-16'-led-strip-light.product.100692314.html but it was nowhere near bright enough. I will probably get these.

https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/flexible-led-strip-lights/5m-white-led-strip-light-highlight-series-tape-light-1224v-ip67-waterproof/5602/12525/
https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/power-supplies/led-switching-power-supply-diodedrive-series-60w-150w-enclosed-power-supply-12v/5676/12363/

Bought two 16.4' reels and cut/spliced it into three almost 11' lengths, which each run directly back to the power supply mounted on the central beam right by the house. I also bought a bunch of small accessories to keep it waterproof at all the spots I cut and spliced, and some extra wire to bridge from the ends of the runs back to the power supply. They come with has adhesive backing (peel and stick), but I wasn't sure how well that would work, so I also bought screw-in mounting clips (they were out of stock so I got similar size on Amazon).

This company has very good customer service. If you want a different setup and need help figuring out which of their products will work together for what you're trying to accomplish call or chat them - they're very helpful.

All in, it was right around $200. You can find for less, but I wanted to be confident in it lasting outdoors and for it to be very bright - this totals 8-8.5k lumens for a space around 16'x16'.
