Thanks.....no problem at all. I appreciate all the information I've received from this great forum, so it's nice to 'give back' a little.

Very nice, and thanks for posting.
I will check out the lamps you selected - I like the wide pattern of illummination. I am somewhat underwhelmed my a pair of "floodlights" I purchased for the same application. Though billed as flood type, what I got are more like driving lights, and don't have enough beam width.

I like The pattern from those LED lights you used - seems to be very appropriate for the application. Perhaps I will use the two narrow beam lights I have for front-facing, and look into the LED Floods for rear facing lamps.

I recall reading that in Ontario, blue flashing lights are now reserved for officical highway clearing equipment, but that is only on public roadways. So all those snowplow contractors are supposed to turn off their flashing blue lights when leaving private property or, at least in theory,when backing onto a highway to take a run at a driveway. You may opt for yellow strobe lights if you decide to go that way - they may be more universal in use should you ever travel down the road to a neighbours in summer or winter. Just FYI, FWIW.

I'm certainly happy with the spread pattern of these lights. I had never seen these in operation until I received them in the mail, so I was basing my decision on what others have posted on these forums....I'm extremely happy with their light output and beam pattern.

I hear ya on the 'emergengy warning light'. I actually did choose an amber one b/c hear in VT, blue flashing lights are definitely reserved for the police in this state on public roads. Not that I plan on driving too much on a road, but I know I'm pretty safe using an amber color.

Nice looking setup.I got three LED lights under the tree for Christmas but haven't installed them yet.They are replacements for the halogen auxilary lights on my 3240.I am hoping they will be an improvement.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm sure you are very anxious to get those lights installed! They are a much needed improvement to the tractor and a must ofr any nighttime or early morning work. Do you know what the lumen output is on your LED lights? I know mine are about 1380 lumens each. A 100W bulb puts out approx 1600 lumens, so the LED lights I got are approx equivalent to the light output of ~80+W incandescent bulb.
