LED Lights on ROPS

   / LED Lights on ROPS #11  
Not sure, if not I’ll make something up with a piece of SO cord, fuse holder, hopefully a dash switch.

I see TSC has a few LED choices I’ll check the local store
Amazon's cheaper.

Here's how I did mine since I have a canopy. I spaced the width in the front the same as the back so If I later determine I need more light forward I can get the same light bar and install instead.
The lights and harness is all from TSC. I get them when on sale and/or I have a coupon for XX dollars off.

Love that the Wasp & Hornet is essential as the fire extinguisher (y)

I bought some small led's for all 4 sides of my golf cart (old, cheep, 10 acre; now I can't live without it :=)


Haven't found that "tuit" yet, but they feel pretty sturdy - connections can either be soldered or use standard spade lugs. Each switch is NO/NC, so you can do stuff like use one switch to SWAP which light is on if you want...

Also bought one of these


If I get many more "projects" ordered, might need another shipping container for storage :rolleyes:... Steve

Mounting inside the ROPS with a magnet lets me reorient the light easily and partially protects it from tree branches. I tried three different neodymium magnets, one with about 90 lbs of pull ($2.70@), one with 112 lbs pull ($3.67@) and one with 405 lbs of pull ($26.35@). All 3 worked fine, the 112 lb/pull was best. The one with 405 lbs pull was overkill for my use.
/edit - prices from 2018.

Magnet vs tree branch -- tree wins every time. Consider what types of operating environments you will be in.
2 magnets. One magnetic base and another inside ROPS with chain connecting? If light pulls off the other will catch it. But now we're starting to overthink this..

Good suggestions, especially 'inside' the ROPS. My 4105 has an existing 'bullet' type power connection, behind my seat, that is energised using my standard lighting switch (OFF/HAZARDS/HASZARDS-LIGHTS/LIGHTS).

My only suggestion is to include an anti-vibration layer when attaching to the ROPS. A cut-up "Koozie" (foam neoprene) between the bracket/ROPS provides that.
