Title: rear work light
Post by: mentalmoshio sophs V8i on December 25, 2007, 02:58:47
i currently have a small blue drive light 55w

just wondering if 2 would be better or change the bulb to 150w or fit a fog light with 150w bulb.

mainly wanna increase the lite area but not so much as it blinds u where ur standing behind it

Its not so much a power thing as a harshness issue - we have diffusers fitted over the work lights on the DROPS at work as this takes the edge off shadows and allows the lamp to actually do what its there for - go up in power and all you'll do is cast harsher shadows in the very area you're working in  :roll: ...............

I usually find there's a couple of good lights on the front, and turn the vehicle so it's facing the other way

The truble with the front lights Manicminer is that they dont point down on to what your working on or if your laning and can turn round then you need mor light at the back. Jeff

I have two work lights on the rear with 55 watt bulbs in and they work great. See were i am going when reversing and lights up a work area or standing area. Just got them off a old forklift at work.
