The LEDs are flat out amazing! They put off so much light for a little bit of battery draw! I love having them on my machine. Your picture looks great and it appears you will have more light than you may ever need (and that is a good thing)
nice work

Impressive. I need to add these to mine. Have you measured the amp draw to see where it comes in?

Thanks for the positive responses. They are indeed amazing, I even got a 4" round LED unit to replace the factory work light on the fender (not installed yet) so I have one to aim around to specific spots. Those bars are spec'd at 6A but real world is a little less than 6A each (at least the pair I have, on the installation I have; I see 11.6A total draw between the two).

I have 2 of the Cree 3in on my rear bumper.$65 on Amazon. The rocks you can see in the back ground are about 40-50ft away. The pic is taken from my side mirror inside the cab

Converting over to LEDs on your machine can be one of the most beneficial mods you can do to it in my opinion. I started converting all my stuff back in 2008 and been very pleased with the results. Here's a couple of photos of our Grand L 5740 before and after the conversion.

Sysop, the lights look great. I'm considering adding some to my tractor. Did you buy the wiring kit the vendor sells or did you get a switch and relay on your own? I might just unhook the factory lights (which are useless) and use the switch for these.

I went the latter route and used the factory switch and wiring. I found that two of these bars and a 4" round LED would draw no more amperage than the original equipment worklight, so I put all three on that circuit. Works well, I was running them for about 40 minutes while I finished up some brushhogging day before yesterday and it got dark before I was ready. It is nice to be able to make daylight...

Thanks a lot for costing me more time and money (*Sarcasm*). Just when I thought I fulfilled all my LED light bar modding needs (20" Rigid and 2 sets of Rigid Duallys on my Ford Raptor, 40" LED bar on Polaris Ranger XP 900, and 31" VisionX Extreme LED light bar on CanAm Outlander Max XT 800), it had never occurred to me to put them on my Kubota L3430. Guess I'll start shopping now...

I bought two of these for my RTV. 120 WATTS for the rear light, 240 watts for front. I already had switches and wire, so just purchased the light bars themselves. Given the cost at 1/2 price, I decided to go big. The lights seem to be extremely well made, packing is superb, install easily if you have the ability to drill a couple of holes for the attachment bolts and accommodate the power wire.

Took RTV out tonight, looked at cows in the dark...er...kinda like it was daylight with the new lights. For the first time, I felt that I can see as far as I need to to search around in a pasture for animals. The brilliance of the 240 combination spot/work light is truly awesome. The claim of 1355 meters may be right...I know that it's way further out there than anything I've ever seen before

Many of these lights are still on sale. I studied on it and for me the CREE light and this vendor was still the best deal. At the moment, initial quality seems to be outstanding...I'll have to use them for 4 years or more to be able to say more about reliability
