does this product wire to bikes electrical system and or have the option battery operated controler and are they water proof and do they put off any h

No heat, Haven't had any issues with water, they seem to handle it all just fine and I ride pretty consistently in the rain. It wires to the battery with an on/off switch. I'm sure you can wire with a controller if you get fancy with it.

No worries, very simple establish to directions....positive...to positive battery cable, negative to negative battery cable, and the bigest portion was taping wires hiding, after that flipped the switch and lights. Simple...I really like mine, I should have gotten two sets though, really need two to set it off with that I call Police Blue.

I wired mine straight to the battery with connectors and installed mini toggle switches.....mine are under front fender,back fender and under tank.they have been wet from riding in a rain storm and the only thing I discovered was the tape on the lights don't stick good at all.if u purchase these be sure and buy 3-m body moulding and emblem black tape to install them

Comes with a micro toggle switch, connects directly to the Battery, and LED does not put off any heat, and uses very little power.

They come with the ends to connect straight to the battery and have a toggle switch. You could also tie directly into the electrical system so they come on automatic when the bike is on but I prefer having a switch. LED's so they don't emit any heat to speak of and you shouldn't have any problems with water though I wouldn't recommend fully submersing your bike lol Hope this helps.

I'm no expert or electrician, but it depends on what you mean by waterproof; a lite misting or dew/frost overnight I would say why not. Anything more than that I would say no since it has a battery which is pretty open to the elements, produces electric current and should be grounded per the manual. I keep mine in a garage except for when in use. If raining, I place it in the front of the garage with the bay doors open since it does produce quite a bit of carbon dioxide and fumes.

There is no wiring to be done. The unit is solar powered so it is self contained.

I agree that SPST water proof type switch is the way to go if installed outside. I used a fuse right off the battery positive to switch. You can also piggy back a fuse off your ignition to make sure lights turn off when key is positioned off. Hope this helps, good luck. They are awesome LED lights too.

I'm not sure of the amperage, but you should be using it in conjunction with an automotive relay. This way, it will be protected.The 5th switch turns power to the remote on or off.It's not waterproof, but I believe it to be water resistant. I've taken the remote apart...and there doesn't seem to be any design faults that would not allow its use in the rain.

I have had one of these wired onto my bike for several months and have not had a problem with it draining my battery. But I also keep all my bikes on battery tenders.

This is only the control to turn on/off electronic valves. It doesn't include any wireing from this control to those valves or the valves themselves or any of the pipes and sprinklers for watering.

Hi. yes on both! I actually called cust serv to ask the power question and he said if you're leaving home for an extended period, just turn the switch off but other than that just leave it on. And yes, it is waterproof so you can leave all components outside all the time.

I agree with 'water resistant'. Looks like both of them can take a splash or light rain but I wouldn't 'submerge' the controller, or install the receiver were a lot of road mist or natural rain would hit it constantly.As others have stated, a little silicone will seal the ends of the receiver heat shrink better. If you leave the controller out in the rain, well, bad on you... :)

Yes It has a 12 volt rechargeable for bikes with no battery or you can wire it to a battery. Battery stays charged for 5 or 6 hrs and takes about 2 minutes to recharge.

This rc is water resistant not waterproof to much water will mess up the speed controllers

Evans,All the connections on the wiring are considered "water resistant" not "water proof" wiring connections will resist rain but for best results you should use silicone dielectric on the actual connection metal contacts. This will prevent any corrosion in case water does enter the connector.It is a good product, good luck

BEWARE, the first time this so called waterproof alarm/radio got wet it stopped working.And to answer your question you need a 12 volt power supply to hook it up.oh yeah why are they calling it a waterproof grow light?To sum it up its a piece of junk!!!

The horns themselves are, yes, though you will want to weatherproof the connectors somehow. I have them mounted on a motorcycle, right up front by the headlights, and have never had an issue with them even after riding in the rain. It's also worth noting that to run these correctly, you're going to want to use the supplied relay. Wired up according to the diagram, there is no voltage at the terminals until you press the horn button and energize the relay.

Mine is out in the rain and works just fine, the connections are waterproof....

I agree w/ Kevin Takas. It has electronics inside it which are the controlling parts. If they were to get damaged by weather, the entire thing would not function. So it is not weather resistant, and designed to be operated in a sheltered area.

Yes. When my bike battery/controller *was working* I went back and forth in those modes. I used the throttle action to get up hilly spots, and manual pedal to exercise my legs. You can do both modes without turning the switch on and off - if the controller is not damaged. But that's another story...
