Can these light be connected directly to a fuse box bypassing the supplied controller box ? and if not, why ?

No you have to use the box for the LED's to work properly. the box contints the resistors that control the current thst goes to the LED; if you bypass the resistors you will burn the LED's

I located the fuse that was labeled back up lights and connected it there. Use a simple test light to be sure you have that correct wire. You probably will have to connect it via a jumper wire. Nothing to difficult

They are connected the same way, unless the circuit your current light bar is on can't handle the addt'l 2A per light added, in which case you would need a relay and separate circuit, with the relay energized by the existing light bar circuit assuming you want them energized simultaneously.

Keep the inline fuses. That's the way the engineers designed them. Your battery box fuses are fine to use in conjunction.

Not with the controller supplied with them. There is other controllers that allow to do so, but this just has three flashing modes. I got my other controller box at pep boys that had white led lights (has two flashing modes and steady on mode)

Yes, this is compatible with a fuse box, you might consider reading this article about the installation at utterpower.com. It will give you a very good idea as to what's involved. I hope I am allowed to post the link here http://www.utterpower.com/installing-a-generator-transfer-switch-at-zachs-house-21211/

I wired the lights into my existing high low beam switch . I tapped into the high beam at the connector at the headlight. So the lights go on and off with my high beam. You could add a seperate switch , but they did not come with one . An inline fuse holder is included .

so do you need to hook 12v up to both side to get full brightness. Also, what size fuse are you using on them?

I haven't installed them yet looks like it'll be at least a (few hour) day task tho..running and adding wire..firewall to inside switch or splicing into wires on headlamps. I'll post info when/if I ever do mine in the near future. Let me know if/when you do yours. Good luck

The connectors are Goal Zero specific, and the lights come with connectors ready for series connections. There's a car lighter adapter with each light, USB cannot power these lights.

The lights I have are at my other residence so I can't verify this..."I think they can but they may need to be wired differently to enable that feature". I remember the instructions mentioning something about this. Sorry, not much help.

Recessed lights must be powered from fan box and wired to receiver as if they were a light kit. DON'T go over the max wattage of receiver and all will work fine. It's been done before. I recommend an electrician making the proper connections though. Your loved ones are not replaceable.

it depends on the type of controller. I have a 12v switch with hard-wire connecters and buttons to control the type of lights I need on. So yeah you can connect 2 or more sets of lights

I don't have mine hooked up yet, but I would imagine you could bypass the switch box

There is only one way to hook these lights up. It doesn't matter what colors your wires are. It appears that the maker doesn't care either. Since these are diodes the power will only flow one way. In short try one wire on the positive and the other on the negative. If that doesn't work switch them around. I got one white wire and one black... the black was positive...go figure right.

Only if they are powered separately. If you have one on the first light, it should cut the power to everything after. Wiring would need to be daisy-chained.

If the light strip has the 4 pin connector on the end then yes it should work no problem. Wen u get it some of the strips have a arrow on the plug and a arrow on the plug comeing from the control box if they do not line up that will b fine because the wires r all in the same order. If u plug the lights in with the controller on and the dont work try fliping the plug over before u start worrying. I have a few strips that the arrows dont line up so ive had that problem
