Thanks, I'll post pics when it's done. amazon had the best price when i got mine last month That's where I ordered it from. Hopefully I'll get time next week to do it. How bad was the overspray? Did you paper over the windows completely or just border them? overspray is surprisingly limited. i covers and taped all the glass and lights. had almost none on the ground around the truck even spraying the roof and lower panels. |

There was a guy at an offeoad park a while back with 2 dual row 50" LEDs on his jeep.
He came out the woods and it looked like we were being attacked by a baseball stadium. Turned an entire 20 acre lot into daytime. |

Have you thought about using some silicone around the seams to enhance the waterproof aspect? I wonder what they have on the inside of it, as far as waterproofing aspect is concerned.
I'm trying to decide on if I want some of these now, or some Rigid lights in a year or so. Not going to "get both", so consider this a tagged thread. And I expect to see lots of night time video and pictures of the lights in use.

-SleeperShooter certainly could. the front lens on mine is pretty well saturated and i can easily see a thick bead around the inside. i am comfortable with as i dunked it for awhile before install and it has already been exposed to some seriously heavy rain the last 2 days. so far, so good. |

the bright sun shows some uneven spots on the camera that are really hard to see with the eye. i suppose it is the way it reflects light. the close up shot is one of those sinhy areas in the pic. yous can see it doesn't show there..

I got a 50", with windshield mount, and a 12" for my Jeep a bit over $700. Got them from a vendor on the Wrangler forum. The 50" puts out 22,000 lumens and the 12" is 4300. All I know is when I turn them on it is instant day light.

If you guys are serious about wanting some of these I have some connections in the emergency lighting industry and can get a fair price on bulk orders.

Feniex Work Lights http://feverinc.net/images/detailed/0/titan400.png My advice, stay away from the China lights and ebay sellers, they have a horrible track record. Do they come in IR? Do you also wish to fan the flames of my wife's hatred? Tread lightly, as she just went to the craft store to , presumably, get the oil changed on her broom.
