flood lights

[tracmaster]

Just bought a pair of Rigid Dually flood lights from summit racing...i must say these are the best led lights I have ever used...my battery voltage was 12.56 volts...left lights on for 3 hours with the key in the off position and my voltage only dropped to 12.26 volts...i have a yellow deep cycle optima battery...these lights give off an ultra bright white light...they totally wash out my regular headlights...check this company out..by the way they are made in the USA..you wont be disappointed..

Are these lights pricey or are is this good for what they are?

These lights are built tough and waterproof....well worth the $..I got the dually d flood model...cost was $169.99 after a 20 dollars coupon and free shipping... if you dont like them summit will gladly take them back...I would bet my argo you wont return them...

Thank trac,

I actually just got some lights from Tuff. Cheap ones. 2-27w 30 degree and 2-18 w 60 degree. I dont have them installed yet but I really want some BIG light. I'll be looking at these Rigids if I'm not happy this the Tuffs.

I love the spec on the draw. I dont have a spec on the light I picked up. I may be a bit over concern about power draw as I start to accessorize.

Thanks again for the lead.

I just got two l.e.d floods from Atomic. I got them at an auto parts show in Rhode Island. The pair was $225.00. I only paid a $100.00. The guy sold them to me out of his car. At the show, it was against the rules to sell anything. Everything had to be ordered. So I broke the rules but got a great set of lights.I am installing them near the top of my cab for plowing. When I lift my plow, my current lighting is obstructed.

Well Tat, better to buy lights from a guy in a parking lot then frozen seafood. : )

Amen brother!

I went to the web site that nubbs posted. The lights that I bought out of the back of the guys car are the same. With one difference, the mounts! Can't wait till it warms up to get them and all the other parts that I have bought over the winter installed. Hope to have it all done before the Ohio gathering. Headed to Watertown tomorrow to pick up a 20 ton press that harbor freight has on sale right now for half price. Should help with the bearing change I have to do! At least I hope so.

Wow. I'm going to fall down and cry. Are they any brighter (really?) than the led lights on ebay? I have two pairs of 18 w flood lights.... 40$ per pair with free shipping

I have ten hours on these lights at -30F.... In all honesty if I was not 100% sure of them... I would not depend on them. Lots of dark up here near the Artic circle!

I am using a couple of the 18 w super bright LEDs and like then a lot. They only draw 1.2 amps each. A lot better then the stock lights that draw almost 3 amps each. The lums output I think was 1100 to compared to the stock that is around 900. So they give off more light. And you sure notice the diff At night going up to the cabin in a snow storm. Now I am not so worried about leaving the lights on. And at a idle the voltage is still 14.5 voltes. With the stock lights the voltage dropped down to 12v at a idle. And if I had the brake fan on the voltage was down to 10 volts at a idle.

I bought some of these 10W LED's from amazon for $22. They draw hardly any power, are very bright for 10W and are shock resistant and weather\water proof and are built solid. I have about 20 hours on these in about -15 weather.

The new rigid dually lights have been updated to put out 1550 lumens..the more expensive set puts out over 3000 lumens...cant compare these to cheap china lights..these are only 3 inches in diameter and are built solid....check out the website to view the torture test vid.

I think you have a point here tracmaster I put on two of my 30 degree lights and ran the machine about 13 miles on the ice in the dark. I wish I would have had a bit more. The cheap lights were great while taking the trail threw the phragmites grass to get to the open ice but once it was there is was a long ride watching for cracks and weak spots.

I think the cheaper lights will make great white out lights and will leave them for that but i think I need to look at something like this to add on.

I'm going to install the 2-60 degree lights on the back and switch each one separately so I can manage the power a bit.
