View Full Version : LED Light Bars....Special offer

G'day All,
I've just imported some 48.5 inch / 1235mm single row LED light bars.
They are a new model from Aurora which you wont see anywhere just yet. I was offered them as I've purchased other LED lights from them for my light poles (http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb102/rijidij/Wheel%20Carriers/Light%20Pole/Wheel-carrier-Light-Pole_zps8c43af39.jpg).
At this stage I've only purchased 4 samples for evaluation. I'll be fitting one to my County. Two of them I want to offer to AULRO members so I can get some feedback on them and I've put one on Ebay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/281159569105'ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1586.l2649) to gauge interest there.

I've hooked one up in the driveway and the light output is very impressive, I can't wait till I get time to wack it on the County.
Also, they look much better in the flesh than in pics.
They are made up of half spot beams in the middle and half flood beams to each side, but they can be made in full spot or full flood. Also available in various lengths, but I just got the one type as samples.
Now that they use 5 watt LED's the bars are much slimmer, so it's easier to fit them under roof rack bars or similar.

I've started the one on Ebay at $480. Similar lights go for crazy prices as you can see from these couple of examples 40 Inch Light Bar (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Aurora-Single-Row-40-INCH-LED-Off-Road-Light-Bar-Sopt-Flood-Lamp-12v-24V-4x4-4wd-/281029524404?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item416eaa3bb4&_uhb=1) LED Light Bar (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/40-Single-Row-5w-LED-LIGHT-BAR-Aurora-200w-total-4x4-lighting-/300948863920?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4611f33bb0&_uhb=1)

I'm offering the two spare one's on here for $400 each + postage.

They don't come with any extras for wiring, so you will need a switch, relay, fuse etc.

Let me know if you're interested, all I ask is some feedback once you've got it hooked up.


Cheers, Murray

Second round offers ?

Will certainly consider it if these work out well and there's enough interest.

I can get this size light bar shipped in lots of four, so it's not a huge commitment. Obviously bigger quantities will be cheaper shipping.

Most other sizes come in lots of 6.

These look quite good, do you different led options available? I would think something with a neutral cookout would be a winner (4500k or thereabouts). I assume these are xml leds?

Cheers,

By xml, are you referring to Cree LED's ? Cree seems to be the 'buzz word' where leds are concerned, and they are obviously good, but there are other good quality leds out there. Unfortunately, with many products these days, you don't really know what you're getting. From what I've read, a lot of claimed 'Cree' leds use one component of Cree type and the rest is generic components, or at least cheaper.
I can't claim to know exactly what's inside these light bars that I've got because I simply don't know. I can only go by the specs I'm given.

This is a basic list of LED brands from a forum type site..........

CREE: 50,000 to 100,000 hour Life Expectancy – Highest Standards
Epistar: 50,000 to 75,000 hour Life Expectancy – High Standards
Nichia: 50,000 to 75,000 hour Life Expectancy – High Standards
Bridgelux: 30,000 to 40,000 hour Life Expectancy – Medium Standards
Edison: 30,000 to 40,000 hour Life Expectancy – Medium Standards
Ecosmart: 10,000 to 25,000 hour Life Expectancy – Low Standards
Generic: 250 to 5,000 hour Life Expectancy – Lowest Standards
(There is also the Oslon LED which is a high quality GERMAN Product, but I don't have specs on them)

This is the range that I was sent, so you can see there are several sizes, and all are available with spot, flood, or combo beams.

Note: Don't look at the measurements given in inches, they are not accurate, the metric seems to be accurate on the one's I got.

Well, I managed to get some power up to the light, so I went down the road to see how it looked and take some pics. As you can see the light output from the light bar is awesome.
I have the light bar pointing down a little too much and I didn't have my tools to adjust it. I reckon I will get a bit more distance from it, but I'm sure you'll get a good idea of performance from these pics.
The trees in the pics are about 60 meters away.
The reflection off the bonnet is not as bad as it looks in the pic, but I would probably find it annoying driving on the road. I might even try fitting the light to the rear bar of my roof basket so the roof shadows the bonnet. It's such a massive flood of light I don't think it will make any difference being mounted further back.
I'm looking forward to trying it out in the bush.
Also, the spread of light would be great for spotting Roos, have a look at the dark patches in the high beam pic compared to the light bar.

Cheers, Murray

WOW, you miss a night or two on the forum and miss out! Damn! :( It's the quick and the dead around here! Would also be interested in small reversing spot/ flood lights. I've been getting emails from Vivi at Aurora for some time but following on the from the Alex Turner saga with a group buy decided not to proceed with organising a group led buy. :)

Any chance on getting a 20 inch or so?

I'm waiting for a reply from my supplier about shipping costs for all the different sizes. When I have that info I'll be able to work out a final price on them.
The only hold up with stocking the various sizes is, they only ship in lots of 12 lights for the 30W, 6 lights for the 60W, 120W and 180W, and 4 lights for the 240W.
Now, I'm not made of money :( so I'm not prepared to outlay thousands of dollars for idle stock, but I am prepared to import what's needed to satisfy any serious expressions of interest, for example, if I had 4 orders for 120W (25 inch) lights I would probably get a box of 6.

We'll see what the prices are like first.

Cheers, Murray

....................Would also be interested in small reversing spot/ flood lights.....................


I'm considering using the small 30W light bars (all flood beam) on the next lot of telescopic light poles I make.

https://www.aulro.com/afvb/images/imported/2013/09/1469.jpg (http://s204.photobucket.com/user/rijidij/media/LED%20Light%20Bars/30w-Light-Bar-183mm_zpsf656a721.jpg.html)

Although the round 27W lights I've been using have been very reliable, they have been around for some time now, so maybe it's time for a change. Light bars seem to be the flavour at the moment.

These light poles work as both a reversing light and a camping light with the three way switch.

Cheers, Murray

The 120w bar should fit between the uprights on the arb bar, from memory the space between my rangie bar is approx 750mm. Could put one above and one below the top bar.:)

The space between the uprights on my County ARB bar is 670mm. I'm guessing this would be the same ARB bar on Tdi vintage Defenders, so the 120W bar would fit nicely at 633mm

What would the 120w bars be worth Murray?

rijidij
5th September 2013, 04:21 PM
OK, I've received the shipping costs and this is what I've come up with as far as prices are concerned.
These are AULRO Member Prices. I've been looking at light bars for the last year. These are the first ones I've seen which I thought offered realistic value for money (although untested)

For freight within Australia, the 240W lights have to be sent by courier because of the length, but all the others will be able to go with Aust Post. The 240W light only weighs <5kg so postage costs for the shorter ones shouldn't be too much. I'll be posting from Vic 3240.

So, at this stage I'm taking expressions of interest until we get sufficient quantities to justify an order.

Please state which light and beam pattern you're interested in.........

Example 1 : 120W Spot

Example 2 : 60W Flood

Example 3 : 180W Combo (This is a combination of spot and flood)

Cheers, Murray

rijidij
5th September 2013, 04:41 PM
120w combo? Is that available?

Yep, any of the lights can be ordered with the beam pattern of your choice.
The configuration of the combo seems to be half spot in the middle and half flood split to the ends, except for maybe the small 30W light which has just the two floods as in the pic, but I'm sure this can be ordered as all spot or all flood.

I haven't confirmed this, but I reckon they would ship lights of different beam patterns in the one box, but of the same length, so if I get a mix of beam preference I should be able to order them sooner instead of waiting for numbers of each type.

Cheers, Murray

Yes, the mounting brackets can be positioned anywhere along the length of the bar and held in place with two small cap screws in each. The mounts are in a channel within the aluminium extrusion and can't come out even if the cap screws come loose.

Thanks Didge. I couldn't put down everything that's in the truck either - 49% reduction gears, Defender High Range gears, Ashcroft Axels and CVs, Custom rear bar with swingaway, modified watts linkages etc etc. I cannot take the credit for the complete setup though as the previous two owners put all the hard yards and dollars in.

They don't come with any wiring except the tail on the light itself. You'll need a switch, relay, cable etc.

I haven't put in the order as yet, but will do shortly as there is enough interest to go ahead. The first lights I ordered were delivered in about 8 days, should only take up to 5 days but they had a typhoon which held things up.
So, if I order in the next day or so, I would expect to see them next week.
Then Aust Post should take 2-3 days depending on your location.

Yeah, I get impatient when I'm waiting on deliveries too, especially when it's something you need to keep working on a current job. At least the light bars are coming via a major international freight company, so we can be reasonably confident they wont take too long. If you've ever bought something on Ebay from China and it's sent via China Post, you'll find out how long things can take :D

Are these lights something you intend to keep getting in in the future? The 101 is a long way of being finished but I will be keen on a few of the 30 watters next year sometime to try and replicate this:

Yeah, I would like to keep supplying these. I like what I've seen so far, and looking forward to getting some feedback from others once this first shipment gets here. I would be able to get them for you as long as the manufacturer has them available.

They would probably work well on a 101 as you wouldn't have a bonnet lit up in front of you.

Hi Murray, my light bar arrived today, thanks. Had a battery sitting on the bench so thought I'd hook it up to see what it's like. Should have worn my welding helmet, nearly fried my eyeballs, bloody hell it's BRIGHT!!! That was half an hour ago and I can sort of see again. Will let you know how it goes once I get it on the car

*****Feedback on 240W light bar*****

As I posted previously the lights are very solid and seem well made and well sealed.
I finally got a chance to test the light output.
The rating for the 240W model is 15000 lumens. This is usually measured at 1m distance. I measured an average of 15800 lm at 1m.

This had decreased to 50 lm @ 23m, However my batteries were low on voltage so that value may be inaccurate. I need to re-measure with fully charged batteries. (I have discovered that my alternator seems to only be putting out enough charge to turn the light off, my solar panel is doing all the battery charging at present).

The only negatives:
The 10V minimum to run the lights seems incorrect - this is ~11V minimum if my volt meter is correct.
The stainless mounting hardware has surface rust on it - but no biggie - at least it is stainless!

Looking forward to receiving my 120W light as well!

I fitted a 120W spot beam to the bull bar today. I couldn't fit it under the top bar because of my driving lights, but I can only just see the top edge of the light bar from the drivers seat, so it doesn't obstruct any forward view.
The way I welded the mounting brackets on the bull bar, the light could be flipped upside down on the same mounts if I fitted smaller driving lights, but I'm happy with it as is for now.
I haven't been for a drive with it yet, but the way it lit up the driveway I expect it will be pretty good.

120W light bar arrived today, thanks Murray!

Coincidentally it arrived just in time to assist with some high speed camera experiments.

Connected to a 40A Variable (voltage regulated) power supply, I took the following readings:
6V - light starts to turn on
10-11 V - full brightness

10.0V 8.0A draw (=80A)
11.9V 6.7A draw (=80A)
14.6V 5.4A draw (=79A)
15.7V 5.0A draw (=79A)

I will measure light output later when the experiments are finished.

I am not sure how the wattage of the lights are rated. As you can see from the specs above the 120W light only uses 80W. However I am sure the light output exceeds the rated spec based on the 240W light.

When I have a moment I will do the same measurements using my 240W light. (including light output for both).

EDIT - 26500 lm @ 0.5m for the 120W. I can only measure at 0.5 m max in the current experimental setup. Looks like this one has higher than rated output as well!!!

rijidij
9th October 2013, 07:39 PM
Thanks for the test results Ben, I'm sure everyone is interested in the results.
The wattage calculations are interesting, I suppose the proof is in the pudding.
It'll be good to get some feedback from others once they've had a chance to give their lights a run.

12.8V 13.5A = 172.8W
9.3V 19.4A = 180.4W (note the light output is low at this voltage)

After about 45 minutes operation the power draw had dropped slightly to:
15.7V 10.5A = 164.9W
I was impressed it was still quite cool though.

Thanks Ben,
I guess the claimed specs don't add up on a lot of products, but the light output is there. They say each individual LED is 5W, I wonder how they calculate it.

I'm sure everyone will be quite happy once they have their light bars hooked up.

If anyone else has pics of their lights mounted, post them up.

Thanks for the pics Murray good stuff.

I reckon a comboof the following would get a bloodygood lighting set up adequate for anyone....

120W spot on bar.
240W spread (flood) on roof (or somewhere)
a set of decent HID spotlights.


Based on the above pics only the 'spot' perfroamnce of he 120W spot beam and 240W combo beam appears similar, but with the latter having much more spill for the roadside.

Another option for increasing spill might be a couple of separate smaller LED 'flood' lights angled to the side. Could possibly mount these on teh bar under the headlights themselves. Thoughts?

Also I can't seem to find the particular post which actually quotes prices for the various lights available....

Prices are in the attached image:


OK, I've received the shipping costs and this is what I've come up with as far as prices are concerned.
These are AULRO Member Prices. I've been looking at light bars for the last year. These are the first ones I've seen which I thought offered realistic value for money (although untested)

For freight within Australia, the 240W lights have to be sent by courier because of the length, but all the others will be able to go with Aust Post. The 240W light only weighs <5kg so postage costs for the shorter ones shouldn't be too much. I'll be posting from Vic 3240.

So, at this stage I'm taking expressions of interest until we get sufficient quantities to justify an order.

Please state which light and beam pattern you're interested in.........

Example 1 : 120W Spot

Example 2 : 60W Flood

Example 3 : 180W Combo (This is a combination of spot and flood)

Cheers, Murray

120W spot on bar.
240W spread (flood) on roof (or somewhere)
a set of decent HID spotlights.

That's exactly the setup I ended up with, only the 240W is a combo beam. I converted a pair of Hella R2000's to HID which give the long distance penetration.


Based on the above pics only the 'spot' perfroamnce of he 120W spot beam and 240W combo beam appears similar, but with the latter having much more spill for the roadside.

That makes perfect sense because the 240W combo has 120W of spot beams in the middle and 60W of flood beams at either end, so that's exactly the result you want.


Another option for increasing spill might be a couple of separate smaller LED 'flood' lights angled to the side. Could possibly mount these on the bar under the headlights themselves. Thoughts?

Anything is possible as long as you have the space to fit what you want. I prefer the light bars mounted on the bullbar as I don't particularly like the reflection of light on the bonnet from the roof mounted one, but some people probably wouldn't be bothered by it.

As previously stated, the light output of these bars is pretty good so it's not going to have too adverse an impact.

Just reading the Specs on these, and to anyone getting overly excitied. These Bars are only 5w Epistar LED's.
No where near as bright as 10w Cree LED's.
IP67 Rating is ok but you will find alot of these Chinese manufactures will lie to sell anything don't be surprised to find condensation and water ingress.
look for ip68 which will deal with continuous water submersion
Also the mounting bracket looks quite flimsy. save your Pennies and get a real bar that will do the job.:twisted::twisted:

Not being a party pooper but when you will compare this to a CREE LED bar the difference is VERY noticeable,

.......... when you will compare this to a CREE LED bar the difference is VERY noticeable,

And so is the price. If you want to pay $1000 for a 240W light bar for example, as opposed to $420, naturally you will expect some performance difference. You get what you pay for.

The reason I'm offering these particular light bars is, I've been looking at light bars for over a year now, and these D Series bars are the first one's that came in at a realistic price for what you get. I'm quite impressed with the performance, and feedback from others has also been great. I'm sure the difference in performance is not worth ~$600.


.......... Also the mounting bracket looks quite flimsy.

I disagree, I think the mounting brackets are more than adequate, and this style of mount being fully adjustable along the length of the light is much more versatile than a lot of the expensive bars which only mount at the ends.

Question:

Would there be ANY advantage to have a 120W spot on the bar and 240W combo on the roof GIVEN that the middle of the 240W bar is just a 120W spot ?

disco disco: You do get what you pay for and one has to ask whether a $1000 light bar offers any REAL world advtages. I'm looking to illuminate mid distance and roadside, not the road a mile away... Rember the biggest threat is from kanhgaroos hopping out from the verges.

For illuminating longer distances HID spotlights are still the best option at this time.

rijidij
21st October 2013, 11:16 AM
Vlad,
With the tests I've done, I would suggest the 240W Combo on the roof would be the best option for mid distance and roadside illumination. As you can see in the pics the extra 120W on the bullbar does offer some extra mid distance light, but in all honesty, probably not enough to really need both.
As discussed previously, if the 240W roof light bar is mounted far enough back to avoid lighting the bonnet, it should suit your requirements.

Cheers, Murray

On the contrary.

The mounting brackets are VERY solid, the light output exceeds the rated specs (I have measured using calibrated equipment) and I have had my 240W light bar mounted upside down, parked out in the weather through all the rain and storms we have had, with no evidence of water ingress.

Like I said its my personal opinion having seen and delt with LED bars for a few years. IP67 rating doesnt stand for much.
The mounting is from looking at a picture which looks quite flimsy 3mm aluminum holding a heavey bar. The sliding mount to the bar is a common mounting method with LED bars.
There cheap yes. But as stated you get what you pay for.

Neither does IP68 it seems - given that my IP68 rated rear LED from a reputable marine chandlery fills up with water when it rains....

As I have stated the mounting is very solid, and does not move with the isuzu idle rattle... You are welcome to come and check them out in the metal.

However if anyone is concerned I am sure Murray could provide heavier guage lasercut brackets for not much increase in price...

No, not stirred up at all, I welcome any input, just trying to be clear that it is a matter of value for money with these light bars, not a matter of having what is considered top of the range for a premium price.
If I were to offer 240W genuine 10W Cree light bars on here for $1000 I would be lucky to get one taker.

Also, a lot of people get carried away with the name 'Cree'. Yes, genuine 100% Cree LED chips are considered the best, but, from what I understand, the only part of an LED device that is actually "Cree" is the little glowy thing in the middle :D. The rest of the device (drivers and heatsinking) is just as important. Many manufacturers refer to their products as 'Cree' LEDs, and they may well have Cree glowy things, but the rest could be crap, so you have to be careful broadly claiming that Cree is the best when referring to a product.

Just offering some advice to others mate. But as you said you get what you pay for.

I would much rather Epistar over CREE, cree is still very new to the LED world, and while they have higher Watt ratings there lumens per what i do not believe to be as high. not to mention the extra heat the CREE's generate as waste.

in my )adimitedly limited) experience with multiple LED light bars of diff brands and also with high end Marine LED lighting the CREE falls short of the hype they get, the PAR readings are generaly higher with some of the older more trusted yet 'lower power' lights. I have both cree and epistar LED light bars and find the lower power epistar to be a better light, same with my Marine fish tank LED lights.

If you want to talk high output an efficiency with quality, I would be going Osram over Cree. .

my 0.2c

also when is the next run of lights? my 42" bar lense has cracked again (my fault for replacing with cheap window glass) might be after a 50" single row fo some sort?

Leroy

oh would also rate bridgelux up there also, but bottom line, ignore the hype about CREE being the best, a 10W LED is not the end all be all, a 5W with a better lense is what you should be after, (though credit where credit is due the CREE lenses are pretty good with a wide variaety of angle's availible [also fit OSRAM emmiters ;) ] )

edit:

also forgot to mention, out of two 120W light bars, one with CREE 5W emitters (i know its not the CREE 10W) and one with bridgelux 5W emitters, the CREE light sucked 165W from my test power supply and the bridgelux powered bar 130W I put this down the the efficiency of the driver in the lights over the emitters themselves,(light output from the two bars was pretty well identicle both used lens's and no reflectors, not sure on the angle of the lens which i assume would be more the light difference i saw over the emitters themself) this is the only thing I would be worried about in the cheaper bars, is not the emitters themselves, as to be honest by above ranting aside, the emitter is one part of a 3-5 part sytem, power source,driver,emitter,lens,reflector (some bars have lenses per emitter, some have reflectors. the lenses work much better with LEDS's over a simple lenseles reflector)

The way I see it, just because a product is claimed to contain 'Cree' LEDs, doesn't necessarily mean it's better than anything else. As mentioned earlier, some LEDs use one Cree component along with other cheaper components, then they claim it is 'Cree' because Cree is a bit of a buzz word when it comes to LED products.
It's no different to someone buying a Toyota because Toyota's massive advertising budget convinces them that they are the best, but in reality there are plenty of equivalent or better products out there.
Don't look too hard at the claimed figures/specs. A $1000 Cree light bar (genuine Cree) will obviously be better than a $420 light bar of the same specs, but I guarantee there's not $580 worth of difference, you will still be impressed with the output of the cheaper light.

I 90% agree there, mainly around Cree being a buzz word. The cree emitters are not actually that great to begin with.

Id happily buy a bar with cheap emitters and inefficient driver. but put crappy optics on even the best emitter with the most efficient driver and you will end up with crappy light.
what i like about most of the cheap light bars is the optics are generally pretty good :)

on topic:
Murray, do you have the ability to get in 50" single row bars? or better yet, a curved bar?(get more light out to the sides at the same time) i know the same can be achieved with 3 bars or even 2, but i think a curved bar would look pretty good at the same time.

Curved would be a good idea, but I haven't seen anything like that yet. It might be an interesting project to see if the ally extrusion could be rolled so it has a slight curve.
The closest I have to a 50" is the 240W bar at 48.5" (1235mm). The current stock of these is sold, but I can get more.

rolling the alloy still leaves the flat mount plates inside fort he emitters, might be time for me to sacrifice my 40" bar for some testing, though I can already see issues with the front plate no longer fitting once the housing is rolled. . . a worth sacrifice to see if its do-able (maybe a market for you and your engineering prowess? happy to help with the electronics side)

my roof cage has holes in it for lights or other paraphernalia, though i have a flat rack for the purpose of carrying large sheets of flat ply and the bolts sticking up make that difficult. . .

if you don't already have a roof bar, pick up a cheap lonley single roof bar from the wrecker and drill some holes in it :) set of roof racks from a wrecker are cheap, I go to Narangba wrecking co, see Dave there and tell him what I want he says "somewhere in the back corner' go for a hunt and get me whats I want $50 later for a full set of rolla racks with tracks(had to pull them off myself) . . . im sure you could get a single gutter rack cheaper.

Murry i must say that light bar is the best .
I had the pleasure of using my 240 watt led light bar in conjuction with my HID driving lights on my way back from Jamieson new years eve (night)
The light fills in the side of the road where the driving lights and head lights miss also going around bends where your other lights just point straight ahead the light bar fills the gap fantastic bit of gear
Tally of near miss's that night 1 deer, 2 wallabys , 1 grey roo all spotted well before only braking needed no swerving needed ;)

Thanks for the feedback Chris,
Good to see the light bars are paying off, we've all seen what sort of damage a Roo can do.

Does this mean we can drive faster at night now.......:p:D

Have you looked at making up a bracket that would lock into the roof rails.

I have a D4 with extended roof rails & would be interested.

I haven't thought about it, but I don't see why it couldn't be done. Are the rails like in the pic below ? I would need a cross section of the rail extrusion to be able to design a bracket, or better still if there is an existing bracket off a roof rack which could be modified to do the job.

That bar is serving a need that doesn't need filling :)

Glare would be horrendous and light cast wouldn't be very useful either.

For holding recovery gear - maybe...

I like the idea of making use of the hinge points, but I have to agree with Tombie about the glare from the lights and the shadowing of the beams by the bonnet, good use of available space though.

The genuine cross bars are very expensive & can only be purchased in pairs.

The roof rails are at approximately 42.5 inches.

Could the light bar screw directly into a bracket inside the roof rails thus making the light bar itself the cross bar?

If you want I could make my self available for measurements etc.

G'day,
I have some 120's, but I'm out of 240's. I've had other interest in 240's so I might have to get some more in. If you're going to be around Geelong for a while then no problem.

I'll PM you my number.

G'day Matt,
After testing the lights, I only get the combo in the 180w and 240w bars. In the smaller sizes I don't believe there is enough benefit from the flood beams at the ends. I recommend the spot beam in the smaller bars as they are more intense, but still have quite a good flood of light anyway.
In the bigger bars, you benefit from the combo beam more as they are roof mounted and there is a greater number of both beams because of the length.

I have your details so I'll send you a quote via email.

Cheers, Murray

How about a flare or a lip to restrict the splash of the light, the x-lights in u.k have about 20-30 mm lip /tube out from the lens, a similar rectangular lip top and bottom on your LED. Single row 40 in bar could solve that issue

With the spread of the LEDs vs the X-lights with their tighter beam this could be a huge lip.. And the wind catching frontage significantly more than an X-light :)

I have thought about a bottom shield on the roof mounted light bar, but I would also be concerned with the wind catching, and possible noise too. I might experiment with something, one day, just haven't got any spare time at the moment.

Yes,

I think there's a few regulations starting to creep into the system regarding light bars, for example, a WA customer had to remove a light bar for a RWC because it was over 450mm long.
