What complete garbage!! None of the lights worked!! (only 1 flashed for about 10-15 seconds). It's too late to return them. Go buy something else.

I was excited about receiving the Brite Strike APALS10-AMB All Purpose Adhesive Light Strips on Friday, Feb 3. Shipped in a flexible lightly padded mail envelope. The box looks like it has repeatedly been opened, or passed through multiple hands. Out of the ten lights, three did not work. Overall an excellent product to have. It will help when receiving the product that all of what you purchased works as described. Three stars indicate the product is okay, and that is not the case. Brite Strike APALS10-AMB All Purpose Adhesive Light Strips, 10-Pack, Amber

Great little lights. Very bright for the size and they last really long. I keep 5 or so in each car and in my back pack for emergencies. My battery went dead, so I used one in the car so I could read my AAA card. Handy things.

I tested these upon receipt and found that one of the ten flashed very weakly. I have not been able to determine the manufacture date but suspect that these have been sitting on a warehouse shelf for a long time. This is very concerning because I bought the RED APALS specifically for emergency use.

Upon receipt 6 of the 10 worked okay.

One was found blinking so weakly that at first I didn't see that it was already turned on.
One was completely dead.
Two worked at about half brightness.
Well, there are batteries inside. Duh. Were some inadvertently turned on during packaging? They are shipped in a soft foam block which looks like it would prevent activation during shipping or carrying in a backpack, etc.

In a darkened room a good unit shows up fine. Even though the LED is small it gets your attention.

The unit DOES NOT STICK to a wet hard surface when I tested on glass, ceramic, and wood trim.

The instructions that came with the units says to not attempt to change the battery. I did open up the two bad units and checked the battery voltages. The 3 volt Lithium batteries are labeled "SC628". Using a voltmeter the weakly blinking one read 2.87 volts and the other read 1.97 volts.
I put the leads of a 3 volt power supply on the battery terminals and the LEDs lit up just fine indicating the battery capacity had been depleted.
I didn't tinker with the two that seemed to be half bright since something is better than nothing in this case.

Lithium batteries should hold a charge quite well. Have these BRITE STRIKE units been on the shelf a long time and foisted off on us non-military consumers?
