CLOSED - Hotshot Offroad's Black Friday // Diode Dynamics and Baja Designs Inside

Let's just say I hate the dark...

 

May I ask what in the world are you lighting up, and where are you putting all those S1s?

 

Good find, I'll snag some of those.

 

Split between the taco and trailer. Should make setup a breeze at night!

 

Damn, that's a lot of S1s... I thought I had too many, but I guess not.

 

How many are you running? I ordered 3 pairs. I've never complained about too much light...but I often complain about not enough light. I generally try to get camp set before dark, which isn't an issue in the summer when the sun sets at 8pm. However, it is an issue in the winter when the sun sets at 4:45pm.

 

I used some 4lead trailer wire for my side lights and chase bar.

If I did it again, I'd follow a buddies approach and go to lowes and find the cable sleeves you use to hide TV wires. He runs one of those along the edge of the windshield and can fit a ton of electrical.

3 sets, lol. Colton said in an email you were running 5 sets! 2 sets on the rack for scene lighting and 2 sets on the hood hinges as ditch lights. I might get another set later on for reverse lighting.

 

Not 5 pairs, only 3! I agree, that would be a lot. I have a pair of S2 Pros I'm going to use as ditch lights, 4 S1s on the ARE CX-HD cross bars, and 2 S1s on the trailer. A total of 6 S1s. If it is too much light, I may use a pair as reverse lights. That's one of the reasons why I went with BD, easily interchangeable lenses/mounting solutions for re-purposing should I want to change my setup.

 

Is it super visible/does it stay attached? I ran a bunch of those for ethernet runs at home and they never stay attached. I suppose I could swap em out for some actual 3m tape though.

That's kind of what I'm thinking of doing though, snag some 7-lead and make sure it's decent gauge.

 

He painted it black and

$7 3m VHB 100x200mm~ (4" X8") Double Sided Foam Adhesive Sheet Tape 5952 Automotive Mounting Industrial Grade Very High Bond 5952 (1 Sheets 100x200mm)

3m VHB taped it. It's not going anywhere. Honestly, had he not told me about it, I wouldn't have noticed.

 

Ooooh ok. Well damn, everyone is lighting up everything, lol.

 

So I take it there will be a slight delay on S1s then?

 

I did wake up at 5am on the 23rd to put in an order early!

 

Because of you and the other fellow who bought 5 sets, I am on a slight delay, lol.

 

PM in bound

 

Hope it's not too long!
