try them at just 25x voltage and they blow up (really blasts) in 1 sec or go greenish to dark. At 50x voltage instantly blasts
What a load of utter C-R-A-P! Please, please do yourself and all of us a favour and go read on diodes and LEDs on Wikipedia. "Good diodes can handle twice the voltage?" Bullshït!

checked using volameter on diffrent leds flat sphere square and the ones on strips.
I bet those with go-faster stripes fare the best.
