    Picked up an NFAB light bar and am working through lighting options. I've seem almost all possible configuration in various threads here.....but, haven't seen any setups/pics with this light bar with 4 small LED light bars mounted. Does anyone have this setup?

    Thinking the 2 outside lights would be driving and 2 inner would be fog.

    Don't have the set up you are looking for but I do have a 40" LED combo Spot / Flood light mounted on a N Fab bar. If you're talking about "yellow" flood lights they will do nothing for cutting though fog. I've got a set of yellow fog lights and it is well documented that they do not help at all. I just like how they look.

    Not looking to run amber....just wanting to run two small floods and two small spots. Curious as to what it would look like on a light bar....doesn't even have to be the NFAB.

    Anyone? Bueller.....Bueller.....Bueller?

    LEDs are pretty "floody" by nature. The first LED bar I bought was a small Rigid combo flood/spot and when you covered up the spot LED, the flood LED produced about the same light as your Daytime Running lights (I am not exaggerating).
    My recommendation is to get all Spot of whatever you get. LED Spots produce more of a Euro-beam pattern.

    This is an 30" Totron 180W Cree All Spot

    I have purchased 2 LED bars from here and they are all super bright and I've had zero issues with them. As you can see they make LED lights in every conceivable size & shape. I would recommend you look into some of the newer ones with 10W LED bulbs...everyone says they are brighter and throw much further than the traditional double row LED bar, like I have.

    BTW I've had 2 German Short Hairs myself..and still have one.

    Just what I'm looking for.....thanks!

    Don't think I want to go the pod route.....was thinking of 4 6" or 4" lower profile LED bars. Lots of bugs up here in Maine!
