Guest DamnYank! Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 My team checked out your LED light bar prior to race. Wondered if you could give your impressions on how it performed at night and if you'd share the manufacturer / model.Thanks!Paul(Honduh Challenge'd Civic #31) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Fiatsco Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 it is a 20" Rigid Industries "hybred" Single row (SR) led it has 5800 lumens the guys were happy with it. If I had to do it again I would purchase just the driving light version without the floods on the outside as they really did not project out to the sides very well. I would just run the driving light version and the install some true floods that I could aim to the sides. All in all its the best LED made but it is a little pricey. I was tempted to try some of the ebay ones but decided that no light = no race and bucked up the money. Good luck hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mender Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Any track officials have any comments on the light bar? How did it compare to other lights re: glare? Prices are coming down quickly on LEDs, my local supplier's price on their house brand dropped by 25% in the last 1/2 year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Fiatsco Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 no one complained that I know of. Rigid sells amber lens covers that I purchased and brought along just in case someone was "blinded" it seems that we kept it aimed low and no complaints. I am getting older and my night vision blows so good lighting is a must. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mender Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 What does the light pattern look like on the Rigid light bar? I have a dual 6" LED light bar rated at 2700 lumens on the front of my Astro that I've been "testing", the pattern is essentially like a very powerful but cheap flashlight, round and a bit fuzzy on the focus.

Team Midlife crisis Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I drove the 240 Porsche for a couple of hours after dark and the light bar was awesome. I turned almost as good a lap after dark with only fourth gear as I did during the day with all 5 gears. The light really seemed to focus right in front of the car and seeing the track was not a problem even when we had the light aimed a little low. I got a few comments from other teams that we had really bright lights but no one expressed any concerns with it bothering them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draggbody Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 The only lights that seemed overly uncomfortable were the teams with 4 lights mounted across the hood... I accidentally delt with it by slightly closing my tinted visor about 1"... It didn't impair my vision but tinted the lights just right...
