Here is the thread that I have been studying;

Best LED Light Bar Reviews & Ratings For 2016

Man I don't know John, reading that I would be confused too

I guess you really have to look at the application, mine is pretty low performance, basically 3 MPH down my own road in a straight line

The wife and I went out and flipped them on so she could see them across the front yard, I got yelled at for blinding her :P

They are stupidly bright,, LOL can't wait for the second lightbar to get here

I have been running a 24" lightbar on my "bullbar" on the front of my suburban. Considering the amp draw is so minimal, I tied it in with my high beams. I also have light several light bars on my boat now for navigation I some smaller ones for fishing. I can't rave enough about them, low amperage draw & a LOT of light. They hold up to vibration. Only issue I have had is that some of hte cases on the smaller lights I have on my boat get water into them. I've drilled a small hole in them to drain water. I can't say enough about LED lights & thankfully since China has come on board they have become relatively cheap for what you get.

One thing to worry about Glenn is glare. Don't think the bar will just project light forward. The light is so bright, in a dark setting, that it will reflect light off object. You may have to play with how you "aim" the lightbar...but you will not be sorry.



I had to re-do the lights from this pic on the boat light bars, the glare from the lights were blinding me. I now have a sheet of aluminum running out from the lights approximately 24". The light now starts at the bow of the boat and onward.

I pulled the trigger on these last night, in the 6 inch. for the front.
I'm going today to Bass Pro & look for something cheaper for my back-up lights.

Quality 5w Double Row LED Light Bars

Irony of the adventure

As I was taking all the pics and paying attention to the Tractor lights, I realized that one of the actual OEM Kubota headlights was out, so I pulled it get on E-bay and order two...
The lights and bulbs were so dirty, I am thinking I might be pleasantly surprised, after I get them all cleaned up and re-installed

I checked the specs on the lights I ordered

The back Straight Bar is 160W or 40 bulbs at 4w each and has an IP67 rating
The front Curved Bar is 120W 0r 40 bulbs at 3w each and also has an IP67 rating

Both are 6000K for color rating

I think I might have gone with the ones like you did if I were outfitting the Polaris UTV or a Truck but I just couldn't see that much $$$ for lights that I might use 3 times a winter


Take pics if you can

My big one is on the way & I picked up two small strips to mount on my rear light housings from bass Pro tomorrow. These are just for backing up light.

I'm into this LED thing now !!
Might have to sell a Pez Dispenser to cover the cost.

I posted the two pics on my FB feed and tagged in my Snow Buddy neighbor at the front of the road he is ready to order some for his Kubota His wife told me that was all he was talking about all morning hehehehe

When you hit the switch the difference in the amount of light is really stunning

Well, going in the morning to get a bar for the front, the lights should be here by Tuesday.

NICE !!!

I got shipping confirmation on the new OEM bulbs and the Curved Lightbar

PICS !!!! PICS !!!! PICS !!!!
