The price and specs look good, Dennis, but can you live with Rick 130 calling you a bogan?
I might buy a pair, just to wind Rick up.
Has anyone here fitted the Kings 9" Dominator lights?
Their specs are very good.
1 lux at 1400 mtrs is a lot of light.....
at the current advertised price there is nothing comes near.
I have about 1 lux at 250mtrs from a small (six lenses 18w mounted low) and a slightly larger (18 lenses mounted high) pair of light bars and that puts a big halo out in front of the vehicle , more than I need under any situation.
I just come back from my third big trip with this setup and cannot possibly consider needing any more light let alone 5 times more penetration.
Interested if anyone is using the Kings lights.....they are so cheap......and they are plug and play , only need to run your switch inside.

If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
They appear to yellow the lenses quite quicky Den.
And I think Ian secretly wants a Hilux, 80 Series or GU tray back with 35's
Put a set on the D1 about 5 years ago. I like them in the windy bush roads, highway not so much. In the parts of Vic I travelled to they were good, they showed so much more than conventional driving lights, and in particular lit up the eyes of the critters. On the highway they don't throw far enough to be helpful at 100, and the modern reflective road signs are actually painful ( Tombie will tell you that all LEDs are like that). So, it's horses for courses.
I reckon the newer ones will be better than mine, and I believe you can mitigate some of the negatives with filters.
And then there's the price.... And, Rick? My lenses haven't yellowed even a little.

I also have a LED bar. They have their uses.
Kings go yellow very quickly. And the glare is insane on the eyes.

I'm not interested in them myself , as I said in OP , the amount of light my lightbars project is far beyond my needs.
Tins , I dont know what spec your lights are compared to the new releases , but Kings claim 1 lux at 1400mtrs, thats a substantial amount of light , it means you can sit down and read a newspaper at night 1400mtrs from your vehicle.
As Tombie said the final quality is possibly not up to spec , but hell , you can probably afford to replace them every couple of years compared to cost of "leading" brands.
Anyway I like to discuss these things without being parochial.
I've never been impressed with driving lights except for the Korr lightbars I have now. I wasn't going to name them but what the heck?
