So Christmas morning my wife and I are opening our presents to each other and low and behold, she got me something I'd eyed on Amazon quite a bit but never purchased. I got myself a shiny new 12" LED light bar for my snow pusher. I was way more excited than I thought I'd be!
A few days later, before an incoming snow storm, I installed it. I replaced 4 35 watt incandescent lights (2 standard in the Cub Cyclops hood, two I had added to the cab since 2 wasn't enough, not even close). When I tried this out, I was floored.
I will make this simple: I replaced 4 incandescent lights at 35 watts each totaling 140 watts with
one 72 watt 12" LED bar. The comparison is really, well, no comparison. Pics don't do it justice. I have a more consistent, bright light spread than I previously had. Fringe benefits of that include more power for my seat warmer, rear lights, and anything else I now can hook up since I have more electrical power available.
I'll be honest, there was one downside. It throws off some EMI (electro-magnetic interference). I wear a pair of "ear muffs" that have an integrated radio with decent to good reception. When I turn the light on, I go down to maybe two or three very local stations. A small price to pay, to be sure.
Anywho, this light cost (at time of posting) is $22.06. That's a hell of a deal if you ask me if you, like I do, do any kind of night work. I have included several pics. The first three are 1) an old photo of just stock lights, 2) a photo of stock lights with the 2 additional I had installed on the cab and 3) a photo with just the light bar on. I also have a couple other's for those that like photos (I know that's rare around here
).
Hope you guys enjoy
