LED offroad lights

[Pete M]

who's got some, which ones, how much $$, and how well do they work compared to normal offroad lights?

I put a 20 inch bar (126w) on my front bumper.  It's a combination spot/flood(all center leds have spot pattern reflectors, outer leds have flood reflectors).  Mine was a cheap Amazon one, Eyourlife http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EJFH6YA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 

  It's obscenely bright. Seems well made, feels like a quality piece.  I'm happy for the $70 I spent.  It doesn't throw out as far as halogens probably would, but it really lights up everything in front of my truck.  My only real complaint is that I wish the light was a little whiter. It's a little bit blue tinged. Probably because it was so cheap. I liked that the mounts were adjustable for center to center mounting, which is why I bought this model.  If that isn't to your benefit I would say get one with the standard side mounting.

If you read the product description in the link you provided, it states this in the product details "Color Temperature: 6000K Light Color"

 

Thus, it has nothing to do with how cheap it is.  6000K Is white with a hint of blue in it.  It is at the very end of the white color spectrum, before you get into blue.   If you want a more traditional yellowish white or pure white, look for a 4000k or 5000k rating respectively.

Right, but I haven't found any cheap ones with a better white light. Just because they were up front about the color temp doesn't mean it's not a side effect of cost.

And I'm not bashing the brand, it's been a great buy. I was just giving a full account

I bought this 17" bar and I am really pleased with it. It is a wide beam that puts out a ton of light.

I bought all of my lights ( Hanma LEDS) about 2 years ago and have been running them ever since with no issues. I bought all of them through a group buy with local Off road club that I am a member with. I believe I spent about $600 on all of them, but I know Prices have went down since then.  I do have 1 complaint about their finish. On the Light bars, the cooling fins have all turn a bronze color, not sure if it is from the heat they produce or the sun. On the dullies the paint is coming off of the cast aluminum housings. I believe though they have fixed these issues. I have some buddies that bought lights from them about a year after I did and are not having these issues. However they still perform great and I am still pleased with them.

 

This is the set up I have:

 

1- 42" (on roof rack)

1- 20" (on bumper)

2- 2x2 Dullies (on A-pillars made to swivel in any direction.)

4- 6 LED bars 2x7" ( on all 4 corners of roof rack made to swivel in any direction.)
