    Well, the less you pay for an inverter the less wattage it is capable thus the more useless it is. Ohms law, E=I/R.

    Say you pay $30 for a 250w inverter.

    w = I x E

    250w = I x 120v

    I = 2.08a

    useless.

    You're a long box as well... I think that 15 feet would be perfect for me.

    How did you guys set yours? Are they hanging into the bed? In this configuration, do they shine outwards from the bed well enough so that cars could see them?

    Well on mine I rapped them around my L2S rack on my bed.. But most just zip tie them to the bed rails, so there kinda inside the bed..

    Someone had a great idea of using icicle lights and still zip tieing them to the bed rail, but just hanging the icicles outside the bed... that would be kinda cool.. :)

    Tried doing mine tonight on the roof rack, used two sets of 50. Did not like I had to connect them like that and it was a sloppy job due to the rain. Going to work on it in the garage tomorrow night and make it look better.
