Interesting, We have 20 upliights that are pretty similar (rainbowlights). In the few years of using them I've never had a problem with leaving them plugged in for long durations. The charging circuit should stop charging the battery once it reaches the proper voltage (though with Chinese lights you never know). I have noticed that we must keep the cases open while they are charging or they will get very hot, but our cases don't have any fans in them
You are correct. Li-ion batteries require active power management when charging so over/under charging is not a problem. This is not true of Ni-Mh chargers. In my experience most Ni-Mh chargers just apply 1.5v to the battery and may have a thermal cutout.
I like your cases, great custom work on your part. Have you thought of putting a smoke detector in the lid of the cases? Cheap protection. Not sure how they would take the shaking and slamming of a road case.
Im glad you are getting events. I have had one wedding this whole year, and hosted one social distance event on halloween that i lost about a grand on because people still out trick or treating and doing house parties as normal instead. i havent had a damn thing other than that.
I have 3 of them Timers! Set for 6 hours and shuts em off at 6. Charges them full no issues! Just make sure you charge them with the case open.
Your lights get extra hot when case closed, leave case open while charging.
Come December 26th, those timers should be on discount at Walmart.
Nice video. Can u make video how to make flightcase? Thanks

I have a similar case but different brand lights and they recommend you leave the case open while charging because of heat.
Agreed. Heat is what starts smoldering.

Brilliant! Many thanks for this my bro.
👌 great video. We need reminders sometimes. I often plug lights in an don’t even think about it.
Seems everyone is getting married before the year ends. Except me 😔
