My thoughts on this, I agree with the above posts. I wouldnt add any lights that draw more than 55w if you are going to run more than 1. I think you could even run 3 55w lamps and be ok for the most part. An optimal setup for most tractors would be 2 forward facing 55w fogs and 1 rear facing 35w or 55w flood. But we are on the tail end of this technology, so all of this is going to change soon. The age of HID is here, and as soon as the market gets flooded enough with the product, they are going to be affordable. A 35w HID arc lamp produces about 5 times the amount of light (lumens) as a 55w halogen, lasts about 3 times longer, and the light is more usable because of the color temperature. If you had 1 forward facing 35w HID and 1 rear facing 35W HID, you would be lighting up your world like it was noon. Right now a good rugged 35w HID work light (ballast built in, no external wiring except leads) runs $350.00.
You see this particular light alot on trackhoes, combines, big ag tractors, cranes, etc. I am watching the prices closely, because I have always wanted one. When they drop below 200.00, I will post the info on here, and I definately will be getting one. Right now, I am getting ready to install 2 Hella 550 series 55w offroad lights facing forward, and 1 hella flood facing rearward. I will post pictures of the install once its done.
