I've been looking to add LEDs to my tractor because I know I'm going to have a lot of late nights this summer, if I want to get things done.
Currently, there are the typical 4 Halogen lights at each corner of the JD 5100e cab.
My thinking was that I would add a larger (36") light bar to the front, just under the cab overhang, 2 - smaller 12-18" bars under the overhand to each side, and a single 18-24" bar to the rear. I want to be able to see all the way around my tractor.
Now, my issue is that all bars I have been able to find are a combination of SPOT and flood with emphasis on distant SPOT. I don't mind the spot for the front, but everything else would be useless to have a spot aspect and I would rather have bars along the side and back which are FLOOD ONLY.
Does anyone know of any manufacturer which FLOOD ONLY bars for such a use? For those who already have bars, do you think the 'flood aspect' would be good enough for this instance? I don't really want to direct it 20-30ft out and have 3 bright circles following me around all the time, in my peripheral vision.
BTW... I've searched and have not found the magic word combination to find such, but if your 'Google-fu' comes up with it, I'd appreciate the information.
