So, I've installed 55w Halogens on the ROPS of two of my tractors, and they served me well. I needed more light up front because the loader often blocked the tractor lights, and I needed a rear work light. I've talked with friends who have installed LED lights, and I've seen more out in the wild on work vehicles. When I saw a pair of 48w LEDs on Amazon for less then $22 for the pair with free shipping, I decided to buy a pair and see how they were. What follows are pics of the comparisons.

Comparison of each light by itself. The bright one is the LED.

I just bought 10 on eBay for $200CDN. I needed 9 of them so buying that many made sense.
