Roof Light. Which Types
« on: December 09, 2005, 20:49:59 »
Ok, this is quite close to the Roof Lights and Protection thread, however Im interested to see the type of lights people are using where.

Currently on mine I have 4x driving light up above, 2x on the bull and 2x fogs on the bull.

I notice some people use 2xfogs on the roof on the outsides and spots in the middle.  So come on tell me what you have where :)

If I ever get them fitted I've got some backhoe worklights to use as they are designed to be that high up.  My fogs are on the front bumper and don't work very well even there, I had to file the bulbs a little to allow them to rotate 90 degrees for a better beam pattern.

ive got 4 big rectangular hellas up top,the 2 in the middle are 100w driving lights pointing straight ahead & the 2 fogs are 55w & point out tio the side slightly so to give a wide spread of light,dont need any more than that as that lights up a good 120 degrees at the front o the motor

My roof lights are two Ring 55watt spots in the centre and the outside two are Britax twin bulb flood lamps (L18.00LB).
The floods have two 55watt bulbs in each unit and mean that you can drive with them on and not dazzle the driver in front (in off road situations only!!). They are normally used as work lights on tractors so give a good coverage area and I can run with the headlights off and not really notice any difference.

The spots are wired so that they only work when main beam is on and have their own switch so that they don't work when on the road. The floods are wired, again through their own switch, and will work with the side lights, dip or main beam.

The ones on the A-bar are Procomp 130 watt Stainless spots and do most of the work as far as main beam goes but the cheap spots on the roof are just a backup if I nose into mud or water in the dark.  :wink:

The disco has 4x Baja Lazers, 100w each, headlights are 90/110w units, and 2x bulls eye halogens for day driving, seeing I thing my vehicle must have the best urban camouflage going, as everybody seem to want to pull out under my front wheels :?

The hybrid had 4x 50w ring standard spots, but need rewiring, the feed wire is not heavy enough to support 200w

Such an interesting selection.  Im thinking I might try replacing my outer roofies with some fogs angled outwards.  That seems to be a dark spot on my current setup.

Cheers for everyones vitals so far tho  :lol:

I have 2 hella comets on the bull which are utterly useless.  I also have 2 tractor work floodlights below the bumper which are excellent.

I want to change the hellas soon, There is so little room for adjustment on my rangie bull bar, I am currently looking for an alternative.

IMHO you definately need extra lights, I dunno about the 300 series but on my Disco 1 The headlights are absolutely useless, in fact I am sure it actually gets darker when you switch them on !  :lol:

I've got 2 Cibie Super Oscars on the winch bumper. 100w each
Then 4 55w Cibie Tangos on the roof rack. I've also got a pair of Cibie Tangos to go on the rear of the roof rack with 55w lamps.

The Cibies are as if someone put the sun on. Excellent lights.
