Oznium Fade Over Time

[Ranga14]

So I've had my orange Oznium LED's for just barely over a year now. I ordered two new 2.4 inch pieces to go in the back seat area. Well, those suckers are dark orange and the others all have a faded glow and look almost yellow!

Has anyone else experienced this?

leds do that when they dont have enough power so l you might want to look for a short are something robbing your powerof course they could just be faulty

Hmm, you know what, I think that's the case, I noticed one in the back that isn't lit up so I think when wiring I accidentally cut a wire I shouldn't have. :\

How did you make out on this Ranga? did you cut a wire? I've had my orange flexible LED that I've used for my sequential turn signal for 2 winters now and they're still bright as hell in the day and night!

[Ranga14]

All wires are good, the new LED's I got seem to be a much more deep or "redish" orange. Unsure of how to explain the comparison while the LED's I've had in there for awhile look closer to a yellowish tint when compared to the new ones. But when you look at the old ones by themself, they look orange.

I'll see if I can snap some side by side pics tonight.

your old ones were probably amber not orange.

Then why did all my bags they came in say "orange"???

Plus amber isn't even on the list...

i know what you mean with the difference in color. i ordered the orange flexible strips, and they are that orangey red color. and then i also ordered the switch with the orange led. and that is the yellow orange color. all of this is from oznium. maybe they changed the color from one year to the next?also, my map light led's from v-leds is also that yellow orange color. the strips must be amber like herc mentioned.iono what to tell ya.

My strips haven't faded but a lot of them have burnt out

Had them just about a year now, I'd buy some new ones but I really don't feel like doing all the wiring again
