That's some Goombah dropshipper scarfing their ad. You buy from them, they buy from the other site and have it shipped to you. The package comes from the same place you could have bought it for less from.
Your favorite LED light bar from amazon that's flood only

I have also heard that the LED cubes and short light bar are actually pretty good for the price. $25 for the cubes, either spot or flood. Not sure of the price on the bars. I have not personally looked at them yet.

Cubes? I'm on their website and not seeing these lights. I like the idea and may copy it.

You could check out an Amazon seller called Nilight. They have some great lights, I did find a couple flood light only choices by them. I have one of their combo flood/spot led bars and it's so bright, you really can't look at it. Good luck finding one that fits the bill

It seems like there must be about three companies making all these spotlights and bars and then one hundred other Chinese companies or vendors slap a different name on them and sell the exact same thing, for a wide range of prices. They look amazingly similar...
I've had good luck with LED lights from Amazon, floods in rear and that spot/flood combo in front. If you aim it down just slightly, that combo bar really lights up what is in front of the tractor. I think the spots have less light spillage too, but who knows how good the focusing pattern is.
There's more to a light than just the case and the bulb...but how do we know which one is better/best? They all are amazingly bright; we just aren't used to 4 to 6 thousand lumens from anything.
they're all Chinese crap You may not like it but time to wake up and live in the real world. We have imported their low end merch forever since Dollar Generals seem insatiable, Harbor Freight, etc. But China has high end manufacturing too. Any of you have a Haier appliance?
My new Massey was built in a 1.5B Agco plant in China. It's not "crap". You just have to be an educated consumer and understand what you are buying.
BTW, I start out with Amazon and then google around trying to find alternatives. Sometimes my local Lowes has the same thing for less, but my local Lowes has such terrible employees and poor training that there is no one there to help you and I average three wrong locations when asking where stuff is. All that walking around on those rock hard concrete floors for a guy with severe arthritis. Just a miserable shopping experience. So yes I want to support my local business but do I want to support a poorly run business that frustrates me constantly? ??Why? Not when I can order with one click on Amazon. And.....I get 5 percent back off the item because I charge it to their no fee credit card and pay it off 100 percent each month. So...no finance charges, easy ordering, usually easy return and 5 percent back. Not too often that gets beat for value.
Yeah, I'd like to be the divorce attorney for the Bezos family. Bet whoever it is will retire after this...
Geez honey, is 35 Billion enough?
I'll throw in a new light bar too. :dance1:

You guys might be over thinking this.... Even these cheap Chinese LED's last long enough and kick out lots of light. We normally have three machines with them and they get used lots at night for 6 years, before there get replaced. Point being the lights get lots and lots of hours. The lights go with the machine when sold. In the past 10+ years I think I'd replaced one for a cracked lens. I'll attach some photos for proof of nothing! :laughing:

I remember when these LED bars first came out. Two to three hundred dollars apiece in auto parts stores, now they are 35 bucks for a pair of small lights and maybe 70 for a bar. I wonder if I google US made LED light bar what I'd get.
Personally I'd like a light bar made by Leica or someone like that where you know they understand glass/lenses, etc. Think lighthouses, small light, super lens, big power. But there is nothing in the lit about lens quality, just how far they illuminate. Instead they brute power it with inexpensive high power CREE bulbs that really are amazingly bright. I haven't put lights yet on my new tractor, haven't had it out at night yet to see what factory light package provides. But once I read they were halogen...I mean that's just plain stupid to sell a brand new design tractor, and mine is, with less effective shorter lasting lights. Why weren't they LED from the factory? I kind of wonder what JD, etc is putting in their tractors now. My Kubota was all halogen. Is there some benefit to halogen we are all missing? They get hot, they use lots more juice and they aren't as powerful. Must still be a cost issue, saving a dollar or two. Maddening really, why not offer a good light option from the factory? Do the Asians not farm at night?
I have bright lights mostly for pulling cars out of ditches at night, rescuing a neighbor's stuck tractor, emergency stuff, but not night farming.
I even provided lights from my tractor while two guys were building my new little greenhouse that went on into the evening. Factory lights, particularly the fashion oriented headlights, are useless, often blocked by FEL. You really need more light up top.

Arly, I agree with you on cheap bright light, but I'm stumped.
What are you driving? What are you pulling? Way cool tracked vehicle.
Nice that snow reflects light.
Some of these super, super bright lights need to be carefully used and turned off, as mentioned before,
when traffic approaches on the road. You can blind the person coming and then they run into you. Not good.
to OP, sorry, this is not about flood lights, we sure get off track
