    Hey @Pittsy,
    How do you like running our S2 Pro IR light? The first time I saw our IR lights on with nods I was blown away! Would love to hear about your experience.

    Best,
    Bill

    Hey Bill!

    They’re great. Couldn’t be any happier. Honestly sometimes they’re even a little too bright for most NVG driving. They’re great in canyons and thick woods where there’s nothing reflective, but driving on paved roads with them causes my tubes to autogate from brightness. No fault of your own, your lights are just really really good:rofl: Before I jumped on the BD train I bought some IR cube lights from a reputable NVG distributor and they sucked. Barely had any light output. Pretty much unusable.

    When you go in the main entrance off the hwy there’s a big open lake bed. Lots of people camp there. Shortly after that there’s a fork in the road. Go straight and there’s good spots on either side of the road to camp. Go right and there’s some decent spots to the right of that road about 1/2 mile up. But that area usually gets busy with campers.

    Hey @Pittsy,

    Love to hear that they are working for your needs. I can only imagine being in the woods and just seeing a truck cruise by in pitch dark. Besides the IR and the S8 do you have any BD lights in the rear for chase lights? With being out in AZ, what are some popular areas you guys usually wheel at?

    Best,
    Bill

    Bunch of us will be in the Cinders this weekend. Most of us run BD lights in various forms.

    Hey @Sixthelement,

    Rad! Defiantly share some photos of this upcoming weekend. I would love to check out Cinders one of these days. I've always seen videos and photos of this area, and the spot looks fun! Later this year, on our way to Flagstaff, we should stop by.

    How do you guys like your guys lighting setup?

    Best,
    Bill

    I’ve got some s2’s flush mounted in my rear bumper, work scene clear lenses. They’re probably a little too bright and a little low to be good chase lights, but it’s what I have for now. Might get the twin S2 3rd brake light kit some day. I’m not particularly a fan of how the mount itself looks.IMG_0869.jpg
    Here in the valley, I like wheeling up in 7 springs. There’s a local area dubbed the “water hole” that’s fun too. That’s where all the vids I’ve posted have been.

    Quality and customer service is top notch from you guys. Always my first recommendation when anyone asks about lighting. Let us know if you’re ever passing through and we’ll get ya a tour of the cinders for sure.

    My LP6 are showing age. LEDs probably towards end of life. Lenses are faded. I think yall updated them recently? Have various other S2 around the truck and the old style SAE fog. Need to send those in for the DOT update. Last word was a 8-12week turn around though

    That’s like turning on the light and leaving it on for 5.69 years straight.

    To be fair I’ve had them for a long time.
    But it is noticeable compared side by side to a friend with recent purchase of LP6

    I do but I ride a 165 so I'm not brave enough to put it in the 5ft bed. ;) A 7ft overhang ain't so fun. I tow an aluminimum trailer with it instead but I can mostly ride out of my yard so rarely need to use it.

    HI

    [​IMG]

    would be a lot cooler (and brighter) if did.

    My Squadrons are probably almost as bright as these HID Hellas haha.
