LED Light Bar's
Hi folks,

Any advice on buying a light bar for fitting on a Soft A-Bar?

Also considering a light bar to be fitted to an LR expedition rack.

Any advice on which light bars work best for this.

Love the idea of using Lazer lights, sadly I have a mortgage to pay every month........

Yes I know quality is not cheap, but is there a half way house with some other products??

Any advice gratefully received.

Cheers
Andy

I have some working lights (not driving ones) on mine - £40 eBay ones, with creed leds, with no issues. One set of spots, one set of floods.

I'm also torn between LED bar or 4 spots on the expedition rack. Have seen someone with two outer spots and central LED bar.

What brand / price is it? Assume its the one pictured. Looks like mixed flood and beam pattern.

Hi all,

Many thanks for the replies.

LikeOMG, interested in your light any specs of it and how much, will you post?

I think i'm going to settle on just the one led bar, and have spots on the rack.

I like these ones:-

Word of warning rob

I bought those LED spot lights and after a hard wet winter, theres some moisture in them and some LED's have failed, so if you do get them, make sure you silicone all gaps and where the wiring goes in. 2008 Santorini Black 110 XS USW (Sold)

Thanks for the feedback.

Understood, what type of wiring connection did you use, was it a econoseal type connector or a just crimped connectors?

Cheers
Andy

Ok thanks, so i guess that reduces the likelihood of water ingress via the connectors and wire then.

Cheers
