    Who has beam shots of some ditch lights at night?
    Im on the fence and like the idea and function of them though.

    Im looking at Rigid D-Series specifically for discount ability through work.

    However, I want to see the patterns of spot, flood, diffused.
    Pros and cons of each type

    Any help is appreciated.

    I am very happy with them- I like the side projecting aspect. Site link below for the product- it shows 2500 lumens but does not clearly say if that is each or not. In the initial product discussion he clarified that it is each. Anyway that is target number to aim for in your purchase and I would without hesitation recommend Jakes company/product.

    Those are great! Thanks for the info and making my choice harder.
    What's the color of the side output pods? 5k, 5500k? Maybe less?

    i am curious how the amber pods will perform on the ditch light mounts? Or is that too high up for amber to work its magic.
    I have 5500k fogs and headlights currently. Which will be below the amber basically. I dont want them to be non existent when i use them. These will probably be used mostly in snow, heavy rain, fog only applications.

    With our amber pods at the ditch location. They do still provide a great beam of light, especially during the snow rain and fog.

    Any progress on the amber side shooter covers?
    I would probably order those if covers were available to have an option instead of amber only.

    We have had many customers use the Rigid side shooter covers on the pods and they work great.

    im going to dive into the amber pods w/ ditch mount.
    Worst case if they dont work as planned, i can run them as fogs someday.

    Whats going to be the biggest difference between your Side emitting LED pods over Rigid Industries?? Is price the only factor or is there a big quality and light output difference?

    @CaliRaisedLed Well doesn't really matter lol I couldn't wait and went ahead and put my order in along with a couple other things. I've already got the CaliRaised hood brackets and bumper brackets.

    However would still love to hear the difference between the two.

    Hello,

    Personally, I do not know the specs on their pods. But first of all you can see the price of our are more affordable, we use cree leds, and our pods are rated Ip68.
