Chelhead LED Driving Light,2Pcs Cree 25W 6000K Spot Beam Round LED Work Light Pod lights Work Lamp for Off Road 4x4 Pickup Truck Motorcycle Jeep SUV Truck Wrangler Boat Tractor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3VBF5Z/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_1G2FV166RG85EM7YCXZP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1I'd like to add lights to my zero turn mower. The lights in this Bad Boy lighting kit look nice but the kit is almost $300. I'd like to either 1) confirm that these LED lights are really worth that investment; or 2) Find these lights or similar spec'd lights for sale directly and add them myself without the kit (for much less $$).
So, does anyone know what brand/model these lights might be?
Anyone recognize these LED lights?

Thanks. Those were the closest ones I found to the Bad Boy lights. In fact, I had that page open in a browser right now while I ponder the situation. They aren't the same unit but size-wise they are pretty close. I just wish I could find the exact units that Bad Boy uses. I find it very hard to believe they had something made specifically for them that the manufacturer doesn't already sell.

Try Walmart, automotive section. I was there over the weekend. They had 3 different types all in similar arrangement you are looking for.
Pricing was $29 to $49.

Look up 'Motorcycle Pod Lights'. Most are 1.3" to 3" diameter and give off some 3000LM each (6000LM pair).

I thought the 80w'ers were pretty good

I have 35W LED fogs on my vehicle. After the install, people would flash their lights at me. I had to angle them down a little more because of the intensity. About 40W would be blinding. But, for off-road use it could work alright.I thought the 80w'ers were pretty good

So I know most of this discussion has been in relation to led cubes or pods, but I've been thinking for a while about putting a curved led light bar on the front of my z-turn. Would the continuous curved light not be more conducive for mowing as you would not only be able to see in front of you, but also the edges of the area you are mowing? Just a thought...not trying to derail the conversation.
It might be better from a pure lighting perspective but I just don't want front-mounted lights. I nose into/between pine trees a lot while mowing (big pines I can't drive between but I still need to mow into the 'V' between them) and I wouldn't want the lightbar being the leading edge pushing into the branches. Plus I think it would be ugly. Just personal preference. I hardly ever need lights while mowing, except maybe way at the end of season in fall, so I'd rather have nothing than something that I don't prefer. It's also why I'm seeking other LED light options instead of spending $300 on the BB light kit. It's just not that important to me.

Makes sense. My mowing is 3.5 acres of open lawn with very few obstacles. To that, the curved light bar seems like it would be ideal...albeit...you're probably correct about it being ugly.

Yes, I have seen these lamps several times, and they are quite handy. They have a bright light, and it's convenient for working in low light. I often go out in the field early in the morning when the sun is still up, so the topic of lighting is important to me. The only disadvantage about these lights is the price - $240 a pair. You can look for a cheaper alternative at Shop Larson Electronics Online | Lightingandsupplies.com. The last time I ordered these bulbs there. In principle, the quality was decent.

Those look to be from here- Bad Boy Lawn Mowers, Bad Boy Mower, Bad Boy Mower Parts. , but we cannot ensure their quality as we have no ties with this company.

www.curtiscab.com offers similar lights at a similar price, but we do, however, ensure that they are of great value and quality. Curtis Industries Lights We hope that this information is helpful! Best of luck in your search,

Yes, that's the OEM and their light kit. I'm trying to find just the lights, hoping that they could be had for a lower cost than Bad Boy putting them together into a kit with wiring and the mounting plates. My initial thought is that I should be able to get a similar set of quality LEDs for about $100 and I can make my own mounting plates and wiring harness instead of giving BB almost $300 for the stuff. But finding similar size/shape/output/beam angle has proven to be challenging. Which is why I posted here to see if anyone recognized them.

My Kubota L35 lights weren’t that great at all. So I used a couple of Klein flashlights for front and rear. A great soft light for 8+ hours on a single charge. And later not trip in the dark when walking back to the truck. Going strong for three years now.

I put a single LED light from TSC on the front of my Kubota GR2120. I hate the summer heat, and usually start cutting grass late in the day when shadows are long and I can see where I've cut easily. I often cut well into the darkness and the piercing LED light combined with the much softer and diffuse headlights make it very easy to see where I've cut and where I haven't. Since I've been cutting grass for well over a half century, in the early days putting myself through college doing it, I think it's safe to say I know what I'm doing and why I'm doing it.
It's extremely humid here in the summer, and the grass is much more damp in the morning than in the first dark hours.
Problem is sometimes the company marks up items to try and cover costs of R&D or custom fab work. I can tell you from personal experience working for a green tractor company. That some of the led lights we put on gators and sell for like 500$ each or a set are no better than what I have put on my own from Amazon purchases.
