Given our last light test focused on round LED driving lights, we were eager to see if light bars could match them with their wide angle spread combined with pure outright reach. So technically, according to some, that is also illegal as there are more than four additional forward facing white lights.
There are, however, (in many cases) 20 or more little lights (LEDs) in each long light casing. For instance one long light bar has an uneven number of lights (you are supposedly meant to be fitting additional forward facing lights in pairs with a maximum of four). There’s also the varying state regulatory systems that can’t comprehend technical advancements, nor agree with one another from state to state as to whether light bars are legal. We did meet a few hiccups along the way wiring irregularity issues that you should be aware of when purchasing, we also tussled with the mechanics of fitting such long light bars to a standard bullbar – again, another logistical issue you need to be aware of before handing over your hard-earned. While there are many variables in the lights available – mainly the bars at varying lengths – we requested each company supply us with their biggest and best efforts, most of which measure in at about the one metre mark in length.
Yet another LED light test has us spending many nights out on the tracks of our test paddock loaded with reflectors and test gear this time we’re looking at light bars – both single row and double stacked to see if length and wattage really matters.
