Popular Post Frederic Posted April 13, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Nice article below on this topic: https://keepsmilingpowersports.com/blogs/news/what-s-my-light Beware that as per RTA they should be covered when driving on road. Due to road noise and wear and tear, i chose to make them removable by mounting them on rubber magnetic pads and the cable goes to an outlet plug which I put in the engine bay. Takes me 5 mins to install or remove them and they stay in perfect shape. Mines are from Eyourlife, à Chinese Amazon brand. Probably still 3D from what I noticed, but nevertheless happy with the results. 9 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Javier M Posted July 9, 2019 Report Share Posted July 9, 2019 I would not buy only based on the type of LED. A 5D would not necessarily be better than a 3D. You need to look into the Lumens delivered per watt used and the color temperature, I would get something with a color temperature between 5000K to 6500K. Less than 2000K: gives off a dim glow of light, similar to what you might find from candlelight; best for low-light areas where ambient illumination is welcomed 2000K-3000K: gives off a soft white glow, often yellow in appearance; best for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and outdoor spaces 3100K-4500K: gives off a bright amount of white light; best for kitchens, offices, work spaces and vanities where task lighting is needed 4600K-6500K: gives off a bright amount of blue-white light, similar to that of daylight; best for display areas and work environments where very bright illumination is needed 6500K and up: gives off a bright bluish hue of light, often found in commercial locations; best for bright task lighting 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All these marketing jargon and tech spec aside which maybe hard for layman to test/verify, after my first bad experience I went with the self testing technique. I tested 10 different lights in various brand shops, that they were happy to hook up on small car battery and give me a demo. 3 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Mikhail Lukichev Posted July 13, 2019 Report Share Posted July 13, 2019 @Frederic that's a good idea with magnetic pads, exactly what I'm looking for! How do you fix your wires going from the light bar to the engine bay? Any hints there? Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only have one thick black cable running along the side of the windshield that goes to the engine bay. Doesn’t bother me during the drive. I hook up the lights by using a regular three pin household power plug. 7 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Srikumar Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Bumping up an old post. Just wanted to know some good LED Light bars that are available in the market at a reasonable price. I am in the look out for a 24 inch LED light bar, so some suggestions and recommendations are much appreciated. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
