    Hey everyone I'm new so bear with me... I have some KC off-road lights I'm planning to put on my truck here soon. I was shopping for some ditch lights and I don't know whether to get a flood or a spot beam pattern. I'm planning on putting a 20" led light bar on before too long... Help?

    Well, if day if you are going to use them for actual ditch lights, as in pointed out at an angle for a bit of side lighting, ditch lighting, then go for flood. Of you're gonna point them forward, I'd say go for spot. Depending on what your 20" is gonna be. I would suggest a combo beam in 3d for the 20", so you get a nice spread of light forward, and spot ditch lights in 4d for increased distance. Or vise versa. You'll also get a nice output and even more distance with a 4d 20", with a bit of spread with flood 3d ditch lights.

    Just the essentials and no extra fluff.
    I have Rigid Dually lights I'm using for actual, pointed towards the ditch, lights. They're 5700k temperature. I'm not a fan. I'm looking at replacing them with KC Gravity G34 lights. From what I can find they're 5000k temperature which is not as blue.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Baja Designs has the Squadron and XL series 2x2 LED pods which can both come in driving/combo which gives you 2 LEDs in spot and 2 LEDs in a more flood/driving light style. 5000K temp, too.
