bump. 3 days left

 

last bump before GB is over.

 

I placed my order for two 6" lights. Thanks.

 

Thanks for the support. Pretty quiet thread but I can't say I'm surprised due to how new we are. All product suggestions or beam patterns requests are welcome. The products we decided to carry for now are just a small sample for us to test the waters in this sector of the lighting market.

 

I payed for my lights on Monday and received them today. Super fast shipping. Thanks much. Can't wait to get them on the truck and try them out.

Thanks again.

 

Just ordered a pair of 2x2 spots

 

saw this too late... cupon code still active?

 

Group buy ended, however the coupon code is still active.

 

Did you have a chance to test out the lights on your truck yet? I would appreciate any and all feedback.

 

what is the flood/ spot pattern? degree? also, what makes this light brighter or higher rated than other Cree lights rated at 9600 lumens?


thx!

 

Hi TRDBeast, I'm afraid I don't understand what you are asking by what the flood/spot pattern is. The manufacturer stated degrees for flood and spot vary by product but for the Double Row 20" 40" I'm told they are 90 degrees for Flood and 8 degrees for spot. If this actually translates to real world numbers is debatable. The lights I currently have are in a combo spot/flood beam pattern.

How the 40" achieves the combo pattern is having different reflectors for each group of 4 LEDs, the combo 40" has 4 groups in flood pattern, 2 on each end of the light bar. All the other LED groups in the center are in the spot configuration.

The 20" light bar has a similar setup but only one group on each side with a flood pattern while the rest in between are in the spot pattern.

The 6" light bar I carry is in the flood configuration at 90 degrees.

The 2x2 pods come in spot or flood at 8 or 90 degrees.

As for what makes this light brighter, it doesnt. The majority of lights released in this market seem to market RAW lumens output. This is hardly the actual out the front (OTF) lumens that I am more accustomed to in the handheld flashlight market. Raw lumens are the theoretical output a light can give off based on the number of LEDs and a given amp rating to state it simply.

To test actual OTF lumens requires very expensive equipment that most people do not have. Since LEDs are my main business I decided to calculate the RAW lumens myself given the data from the manufacturer, this explains why my numbers vary from other people in either the +/- direction. A very rough way to translate RAW lumens to OTF lumens is to subtract anywhere from 5-15% lumens to account for driver inefficiencies and other factors. Light bars in this market do not seem to adhere to the ANSI FL1 standard.

I hope this answered some of your questions and feel free to ask me more

 

90 degrees and 8 degrees was the answer thank you.....

Im looking for a larger spot pattern. 20-30 degrees

I think 8 degrees is considered a pencil beam

 

Manufacturer numbers don't seem to correspond with actual world performance unfortunately. I have some sample photos up as they give you a better idea.

 

Got my lights yesterday and mounted them today. Shipping was fast even up to Canada and the lights appear to be great. I won't be able to test them for a while though as I go to bed before it gets dark
