Backup-flood lighting

[CRuth]

Theres a couple threads on this subject so I thought start another one



For those that don't mind doing their own wiring, here's some options I found when I looked into the subject. And yes, I am somewhat of a light nerd.



On the left is standard rubber light (sold as work lights, tractor lights etc. ) you can find at any auto store, jcwhitney or whatever. You can even buy just housing if you don't mind bothering your counterperson. Then toss the bulb it comes and get a GE H7614 bulb (par36). H7607 is also acceptable. I ordered a dozen or so par36 flood bulbs and that was the one I preferred. I believe it was Grainger I got mine from.



Second one is a Hella Worklamp Double Beam FF. This has two 55watt h3 bulbs so it does suck up some amperage.



Third one is a Bosch Pilot 140. Very nice wide flood but a little pricey and hard to find.

I also had one by IPF that was nice. Too bad I seem to have misplaced that one.

Here's some on my Jeep. And no, my alternator can't keep up if they're all on at once. And yes, I do need to clean up the garage

i have a pair of 55w driving lights as my backup lights. . they work ok, and being they are a h3 bulb, i can pop in some 100w if i want. . but, i got a slightly better/larger pair of 100w driving lights for dirt cheap, so i think i will swap them out when the weather gets nice again. . i will need to make new brackets to mount them though, so i might just end up doing the bulb swap [my wiring & relays can handle 300w easily]
