I swear I googled - LED pod mount question

I know someone is gonna pop up a link immediately and make me feel like an idiot for not finding it, but here's what I want to do:

I want to mount some LED pods to use as reverse / get off my ass lights. Kind of like:


But what I would like is a bedrail mount that will allow me to pivot the light pod up and down so that I can point it down into the bed as a worklight. Does anyone make something like that?

Thanks in advance for your help fellas.

 

Most LED pods come with their own mount that then attaches to these bed mounts or wherever. These mounts allow for positional adjustment up/down.

Google any LED pod and you will see they come with adjustable mounts

 

Cool - thanks. Sorry, this is the first aftermarket lighting I've ever done. Do the adjustments require tools? Ideally, I'd like it to be easily adjustable, like with a wing nut or something.

I guess it depends on manufacturer. Mine require a wrench to get to the nut to adjust, however I leave it tight but not too tight which allows me to adjust them as a want and they still retain their position. Most of them seem to work with brackets that sort of tuck inside the heat fins on the back and won't allow a wing nut.

 

Thanks for the help!

 

@Tacoturtle, as others have stated, many pods have a curved bracket that allows for adjustment. However, most do require tools. If you find one that uses a through bolt, you can install a stud into the housing and use a wing nut. That would allow you to use one of the available mounts to attach to the bed rail.
Another option is to use either one of the available mounts and customize it, or make your own. Cut the mounting plate across the vertical face, and weld on a door hinge. You can use stainless hinge if you make your own bracket from stainless steel. Build a stop into it that will only allow it to tilt forward enough to aim into the bed where you would like it. Use a second L bracket that will bolt behind the main one and attach a bracketed magnet to it so that when the light is in the rearward facing position, the bolt (use a bolt to mount the bracket so the bolt comes up through the bottom) rests on the magnet. This will hold the light in the rearward facing position during regular use, but allow you to flip it to a work light illuminating the bed without any tools.
I would draw you a picture, but I don't have a program to do it and I think ^^^^ should be clear enough to understand.
Note: use a strong magnet, not a HF cheapo magnet.

 

That's a cool idea, and sounds like a fun project. Thank you!

 

Thanks again for y'alls input. I ordered some rigid pods today through the group buy, and I'll figure out which brackets I want to go with next.

Pretty tempted to try to build something like @windsor described, but have never done any work like that before. Should be fun to try.

 

Not trying to steal the thread.
I like this idea alot, however the mounting situation doesn't seem like it would work with a bed cover. Has anyone ever seen a mount that mounts to the other side of the bed? Between the window and the box?

 

You can have her, I'm done with her

I didn't come across anything like that in my hunting, but it's a cool idea. I ended up going with the armor tech mounts mentioned above.
