Work Lights

[Dude Man]

Hi, I am trying to find some halogen work lights to put on my tractor cab. It is a Curtis Hard Side Cab with the 3/8" holes drilled in already. I already have the switch and wiring too with bullet connectors to go to the light. I can change the type of connection if needed. Any suggestions would help with a description and price.

thanks
dude man.

I put 4 3x5 trapezoidal lights on my tractor from Messicks. These are high quality lights with very sturdy mounting hardware-not the stuff you'd find at Wally-World.

I put two Peterson 4" x 6" trapezoids and two 4" x 6" floods on mine, and I got them from Northern Tool.

I just put a pair of these OPTRONICS COMPETITION SERIES DRIVING LIGHTS - CarParts Quality Discount Parts and Accessories on my 5030.

I am highly impressed. They put out at least twice the light as my OEM Kubota work lights that I replaced. The write up on them on the web page is wrong. They are 50 watt MR16 bulbs; very bright and they come with wiring and switch. Can't beat the price either.

(since I was already wired and switched, I was plug and play.)

I am buying a second set to replace my rear oem Kubota work lights. I got the idea of mr16 work lights after I saw them on a Deere dozer.

That's the first time I've seen MR16 bulbs used in vehicle applications.

They are 12 volt mr16's. A clean and bright adaptation; like I said, I am getting more for the rear work lights...twice as bright as kubota oems.

Anyone having a problem with the globes going out of the lights? Maybe my tractor is a rough ride but my lamps have burned out twice in a year...

And what about a set or work lights, or 1 real bright one that has an on/off switch on it? This way we can wire it in to the headlights, and only turn them on when we need.

Is this the only thing burning out of could your voltage be high? At same time are you sure they are burnt out and not a loose connection? I replaced a few tail light bulb before I realized the bulbs were fine and it was a connection issue. kt

What I find works real good is the 'driving or white halogen fog lights' that often are offered at auto parts or maybe WallMart at about $10-15. per pair! (usually blister packed)

Being 'fog lights' they put out a flat wide beam that is 'just right'. So much so that I only need one front and back and my entire work space is well lit.
Before I needed 2 front and 2 back of the old metal tractor work lights that always ended up rotting/rusting to death.
Also the 4" tractor light sealed beams actually cost more than the driving/fog assemblies.

Trick is to find the clear ones and not yellow.

Also the hallogens put out more light per watt than the old sealed beams!
