    ARB LED driving lights

    Folks,
    I am looking to replace the OME LR driving lights on my D3 with something a bit better.


    Have been looking at the ARB LED driving lights. Does anybody have any experience with these? Flood vs Spot? I know that will open up a can of worms discussion.


    I am planing on using my original LR driving light bracket - somehow
    A LED light bar would be lovely but I am not keen on restricting any airflow into the grill which pretty much rules one out.


    One thing I did not like on the ARB lights was the mounting screw on the side of the body. It invites thieves to nick them


    cheers

    Quality construction. However....

    Not a lot of performance from ANY LED driving light...

    Seriously - if you want real light and the ability to go Spot to Spread at your discretion. Then Fyrlyt...

    Tech for the sake of tech isn't a good thing - especially if it results in a less useful product..

    Yes have had a look at those but . . .


    they are large! Larger than I really want. Something like the ARB ones are not too obtrusive. anyway I am just musing at the moment.

    I have some reasonable quality Chinese LED driving lights on my work Hilux - they are very good for what they are - I have one spot and one flood - I find they are very good at lighting up the sides of the road where animals may be lurking, and illuminate signage at a good distance. The light is very white, which has advantages and disadvantages. They light up things well, but I find there is too much glare for long trips and they are completely useless when ANY rain is falling as the light is so white they reflect too much, and they don't penetrate a long distance down the road.

    I've seen the FYRLYT's in action (Tombie's actually )- very impressed with those, but for some applications an LED unit is fine IMO, just don't expect them to be the be all and end all of your lighting needs.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    thanks for that. I quite like the 'softer' light output of tradtional lights as it is kinder on the eyes.


    hmmm hmmm hmmmmmm
