I was literally just looking at these online. Trying to figure out which option I want to go with for rock lights.

If installed in wheel wells those could be handy on some of the night runs.

Nice! But we don't really need LEDs on night runs when we can use the flames from Neo's truck to light the way :wink:

 

[3Hummers]

Well I missed that run so I wasn't sure how well that worked out. I don't think we can count on Neo setting his truck on fire for every night run we do though. Lights might be more practical.

will they light up the ground in red? I want function and performance over looks but if red does well I want red

Few questions...

So I assume two for each side and one for front and rear? Tim how does the wiring work? I assume they just wire in series then to the switch/power/ground.

Is the magnet strong enough to drive with them on all the time?

I'm very interested in these in red....

 

[H3slate]

Those look cool. I think I would wait for it to get dark to wheel if I had those lights. :shifty:

Thanks Tim for bringing on another great product and brand. You just added to all of our shopping lists. :horns:

I have not seen red in person, so I'm not sure how bright yet. picture this though: you are lighting the ground up to see where your tires are and what obstacle is there. For this use, I would personally want the most natural/ white lighting available as that will be easiest on the eyes. having other colors, IMO, may cause more strain to see those objects when it's clear out. now in dust, fog, snow, other colors may work better...kind of like amber drive lights for fog vs clear/ white does.

If you guys want red, lmk and I will bring some in for you and can have them built asap.

The Magnet: the magnet is strong, however if you fling mud, rocks, etc, it could get knocked loose. For this reason, ORO includes a self tapping screw with a pre-drilled/ sealed hole. so you can secure these things like they should. The cases on these lights are tough, sealed, and can be used pretyy much wherever. I would keep them away from your exhaust for sure though! You can still melt wires!!! I'm not sure if mounting inside the wheelwell would work well or not. If you drive through mud, that's usually where it sticks. I think no matter where you mount them, you will end up having to clean them up when using. tuck them up higher than the frame would be best.

Placement: That is going to be a little different front each truck to each owner's preference.

On mine, i am going to run 6 total to start/ maybe 8. I'm bringing in some extra lights in pairs also. you run them in series with the waterproof connectors. you need to use a heatgun or flamless torch to heat them up. the connectors will not seal up all the way with a hairdryer like shrink tape does. Placing them to light up each wheel is ideal in my mind. I'm thinking 2 in front of the front axle, 2 about 2ft behind the rear axle, 2 in front of the rear axle. the optional 2 I may place behind the rear axle for overkill. I'm also going to put one under the hood, since the JK does not have a light there.

They just wire in series and than to your switch. than you run your switch to + - and fused power if you want them to run only when the truck is on.

just to clarify: FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY!!!!!!!! Drive with them turned on while on streets will more than likely get you stopped by our LEO's.

Ooooh, neat-o!!

lol, they will go with your other LED lighting. :wink:

hmmm, the night run that we did with Neo, we just had a bunch of guys on Fin's with flashlights yelling at us. lol.

I was literally just looking at these online. Trying to figure out which option I want to go with for rock lights.

I looked at quite a few manufacts for this application. some were not waterproof, did not come with additional wire, had a relay box with "Christmastree" settings. lol.
others were marine grade also, but were very expensive and would not work with a smaller company like EH.

I chose this brand for a couple reasons over the other maunfacts.

waterproof!
no switch box to mount under the hood.
low draw led's.
expandable to run in series.
extra wire, connectors are included.
through hole mounting.

hope that helps some.

The problem with narrow spectrum lights if the light only reflects off surfaces that contain some of that color, so with red lights a pure green or pure blue surface will appear black and will be difficult to see. In addition, human eyes are more sensitive to green and less sensitive red and blue, so for a given power level green lights will appear brighter than red and blue. Therefore I believe white lights will perform better than red or blue.

Great looking product! Ive been looking for a good kit like this, now its just time to make a decision between these of the duallys :huh:

When the red ones become available, I will definitely be getting some.

See for me, I don't really get on trails at night but I do a lot of stuff in the snow and on the lakes in the winter (when we have snow/ice :roll so I'm thinking red would be good in that application. If I get stuck or hung up in a massive snow drift it will allow me to see exactly where I'm hung up and I think red would work better against the white snow/ice.

Thanks for all that info Tim. I'll be in touch.

I can order them at any time.

I think I will spend some time under the truck this weekend and see where they might mount up.

I'm kind of with these guys that red is a good color for night use. I use a red LED headlamp when camping because red does not affect your night vision/give you night blindness like white light does. White light does, however, give a better light for making out details. Red casts a much lower "resolution" light, if you will. Like white is an HDTV and red is an old boob-tube....or something.

It has something to do with disruption of the rods/cones in your eyes...that said, I'm no doctor. :wink:

Moooving on...

 

[06 H3]

my next door neighbor is an eye doctor and is always interested in the wheeling, adventures and modifications. Ill ask him what red does for the eyes. He is a good source for that info. I have seen white though and they do light it up pretty well.

 

[3Hummers]

I agree with the comments about the red but if I am climbing a rock ledge on a night run, leaning out the window to check my tire position I want to see the tire and ledge. I am not sure the red will do that for me.

 

[M22KLARS]

If I didn't need it for snow I would go with the white light. I agree that it helps from keeping your eyes from having to adjust at night but there's a difference between walking in the woods at night and driving a $40xxx rig through tough terrain at night.
