Slyyck.

What brand wattage are those blazing beasts? Looks good from the pics. I might have to try a set or three.

slyyck · 11-12-2011, 07:24 PM

3" x 5" Rectangular LED Work Light

900 Raw Lumens; 700 Effective Lumens
Flood beam pattern
12V DC

I ordered them from sloan express, but the actuall company is J.W. Speaker...
I am currently looking for a different supplier that I can order more lights from cause I had a not so good experience with sloan and j.w.speaker doesn't sell direct for some reason. Hopefully I can find another dealer that carries them so I can order some more lights!!!
I will say these LED lights made a night and day difference (literally)

They are just as bright as HID's with easier installation!

Try HID Work Lights Larsen Lights his hids are plug n play and awesome. He's based in the USA but had my order shipped direct from china to my door 400kms north of Perth West Australia for $110 dollars. There where 8 work lights and 8 globe kits in the box. If I went local I wouldn't have got 4 work lights for the same money and they would have been plastic instead of aluminum

were they the model 806?

It seems like xenons are cheaper and produce even more light that the LED's.

slyyck · 11-13-2011, 06:38 PM

Yes snipe they are the model 806 but it is a different mounting bracket so it uses the exsisting screws from the old headlights.

farmerjones xenon may be cheaper but with todays technology LED's can produce the same amount of light if not more and last more than twice as long! Plus they don't need a seperate ballast for any light as the HID's need a ballast for each light and from what i've heard from others they don't always come on on the first try!

I'm with farmer jones...... Hid's are supposed to last for 2500 hours...... I don't think there are many people that would run their equipment for 2500 hours in the dark!! So to have a selling feature that the LED's will last 5000 hours is really pointless, unless you are looking for a reason to sell yourself on LED's. I bought HID's for the combines, swather and 3 tractors, never regretted for a minute. The LED's were WAY more $$$.

We run a couple Vision X LED lights on our 8820. they are something like 3600 lumens each and only draw a couple amps each. The only problem is that the light is so white and bright that in dusty environments like milo and wheat that the glare becomes very bad to the point that you have to shut the lights off. It would be comparable to running your high beams in the fog.

Arent the led lights easier on the ole volt meter since they draw so little amps? I never did like the real white light that hid and led emit. I am deciding on which to get to replace some of the lights on older equipment with the crappy sealed beams.
