    I would guess it'll light up stuff pretty well for 20' on that whole side... I'll try and get a picture since i don't want to over promise. I thought there were pics in my build thread but i didn't see them.

    Found some.

    Gate was 15-20' or so from the side of the truck.

    The output is perfect for lighting up a work area or the side of the road.

    That's not bad at all. Thanks. I'll have to look into them.

    Ya I do, and they actually have pretty good reach to them. Just hard to tell in the pics. Don't need much for a scene light imo.

    I'm looking for about 50-60 feet from the truck. I may just order one and see how it works for me. I have to do something as I'm really not liking the looks of my current setup.

    I just went ahead and ordered one of the rigid scene lights. I'll never know if they'll work or not if I don't try one. I can always use it somewhere if not on my truck.

    If they work out, I'll order 3 more.

    Lol. This made me laugh. And you do have a point. Maybe I'm not being realistic about what I really need.

    I'd say these probably reach close to that. But don't take my word for it. Would be best to try it for yourself and see if your like the output for your use or not

    For those of you running multiple lights on your racks? Did you wire them so you can switch each one on individually? Or do they all come on at once?

    I am looking at having lights on the left, right, back, and front (40" bar) of my soon-to-be prinsu rack, but I definitely want to be able to control each light on it's own. Is there a way to do this without having to spend an arm and a leg on some over the top "switch pro" or whatever they're called now?

    Yeah! Just wire each light to individual switches instead of one. A decent amount more work, but doable

    If you go rigid, I believe each light comes with its own switch. But personally I am just going to wire them by sides. So I can turn on pass or drivers side. There will be 2 lights per side.

    I just mounted these and I used the angled mounts. These are the 30 degree ones. I'll try them out first but they came with 60 degree too. Where is the best place to find switches that fit the factory blanks?

    I had the iggycorp switch panel. And now have the switch pro. 100% night and day difference. I highly recommend the switch pro. I know it's pricey, but it's worth the extra cash.
