Does anyone have any experience of this sort of light, I'd like to fit a few to my 4x4 green laner and maybe a smaller one to my trailer

Cheers

I know that some of them can be crap, they look good but don't throw much light. If it was me I would be looking at led light bar tests on youtube to try and find one that definitively works.

Yeah, it's hard to gauge the quality of these things from behind a computer

Hi was it those exact ones from that seller?

Did you go for flood or spot? Does it go further than your full beam on your car?

Thanks

I can suggest the white light versions of the Bosch/Aegis UFLED series LED illuminators. They run from 12-24v DC. The build quality will almost certainly be better than generic stuff on ebay. There are various part#s with different beam angles & usable distances - 10deg/60m, 20deg/40m, 30deg/35m, 60deg/25m, 95deg/20m, 120deg/15m.



Used ones do crop up on ebay occasionally.

I'd get a flood on each corner if you can mount them on the roof.

Spots are fecking useless for green lanes

I think it's a plan. I made a roof rack out of 3x2 very handy

£480 EACH

I can buy 20 cheap crappy chinese tat for the same money

Even if the ebay tat lasts 6 months it can keep me going for 10 years for the price on one bosch one
