LED Light Bar Measurements - Please help

Post by **pietpetoors** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 5:37 pm

Can you guys please help me.
Please post the distance between the uprights of your bumper/bullbar here.
I need the info for my next LED Light Bar order.
The distance between my bumper's uprights is 680mm which means there is just enough space for a 25" bar

I installed the 20.2" LED light bar on my Hilux today but I see there is space for more.
But I do not want to order a longer model if it won't fit enough vehicles.

after the 20.2" , the next size is 25" . It gives 2160 Lumens more light, but is also R700 more expensive.

The distance on mine is just a fraction over 70 cm.

Post by **CasKru** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 6:49 pm

Pieter... just a suggestion. Maybe ask them to post a pic as well or state what bumper they have (ex Std Hilux BB, Nudgem, ARB etc)

Post by **pietpetoors** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 6:52 pm

Good idea, thanx Cassie
Thanx Andy for your measurement
Fokise, jammer ek is vars uit voorraad, maar behoort binne 'n week of twee weer te hê

Piet, gaan jy nog 32" bestel? http://www.4x4direct.co.za/shop/index.p ... cts_id=366" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Die finansies is nie nou dadelik reg nie, maar ek wil so teen einde volgende maand beslis een koop.

Daar is hy 64cm/25" maar onthou daar is spasie agter the uprights ook vir my

Post by **pietpetoors** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 9:49 pm

Dankie Cassie
So with the number of replies we had so far, it seems like the 25" will fit on all the bullbars so far.

Johannes from the Sea, who are so concerned about my marie biscuit tyres, I see you have not measured yours yet?

I took some new pictures tonight with a better camera and this time with my trokkie's brights. I have the normal nightbreakers in the head lights.

Die foto's lyk baie beter as ons eerste toets se fotos!
Ek sien die belangstelling tel sommer ewe skielik op.
Nice toets Pieter.

(on)gelukkig is die 32" reeds weg, sou lekker gwees het om hom saam met die 20" te sit met die kamera

Guys, I have a birthday coming up...

I am going to need a few sets of lights

But it is an excellent investment in one's safety!

The black one looks good Piet, do you get a protection cover for it (for the stones etc) ? What amps ?

Post by **CasKru** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 11:35 am

Dink ook swart

Cassie hoe gaan die werk as jy weer 'n duikboot probeer maak van daai SFA?

Post by **pietpetoors** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 12:12 pm

ek ook nogal, veral omdat meeste bumpers en bullbars swart is gaan hy mooi saam en om een of ander rede lyk die swart vir my meer duursaam as die blink

Die ligte sal baie beter vaar. Ek praat onder korreksie maar ek dink hulle het IP68 rating. Hulle werk tot 1m onder water

Dit is korrek, hulle sal dus werk vir Cassie se duikboot

Hel Oom Eric, dit gaan 'n nice verjaasdag persent wees. Ek stuur my straatadres deur. Weereens dankie

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:23 am

Pieter, ek merk op daardie foto's dat die linker kant van die pad/bosse is meer verlig as regs (wat nie noodwendig 'n slegte ding is nie). Is dit so gestel of kom die verskil in by jou trokkie se eie hoofligte dalk? Ek het eers gedink dit is omdat jy meer na links op die pad staan, maar dit is nie dit alleen nie.
Ek dink regtig dit is nodig vir sulke ligte veral hier in die nagte. Ek vermy alreeds om in die nag te ry agv die wild.

Post by **pietpetoors** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:30 am

Willem ek dink die bakkie het bietjie skeef gestaan, as ek ry is die straal in die middel. Al is die straal in die middel verlig hy steeds die bosse baie meer as gewone ligte.
Ons het ook baie bokke op die Weskuspad, is presies hoekom ek sulke igte begin soek het. Ons bokkie is net aansienlik kleiner as julle s'n, maar hulle maak steeds seer.

Doom · Post by **Doom** » Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:33 am

Dankie.

Ja, die einde kan maklik dieselfde wees.

Post by **pietpetoors** » Fri Jul 06, 2012 9:50 am

Earlier this week I took my trokkie for road worthy test. At first I wanted to remove the LED bar so that I do not wake sleeping dogs, but in the end was too lazy to do it and decided to take my pak soos 'n man.

What I did do was to remove the fuse for the LED Bar so that it don't come on when you put brights on and decided that if they ask I will just tell them it is broken.

Long story short, they tested the lights and because the LED bar did not come on with the brights the testing officer did not even ask one question about the LED bar, it was as if was not even there.

So I think of we are concerned about the cops one should put it on separate switch. Or one can wire it to work with the brights but still put in an extra switch so you can switch it off at a road block so it don't come on with the brights.

He probably didn't realise that the LED bar was actually a lighting system! ;)

I was thinking of installing a dual action switch for this. On the one side it will switch on with the lights, have an off position where it does nothing and one where I can only switch on the LED bar

Johannes van die See · Fri Jul 06, 2012 11:44 am

Step 1:
Tap from Brights +12V line to a fuse then toggle switch (Spot Light On/Off)

Step 2:
From other pole of toggle switch send +12V to relay coil.

Step 3:
Ground the output pin of relay coil.

Step 4:
Connect +12V feed wire from battery + pole to fuse then to relay (normally open) switch point.

Step 5:
Connect output pin of same normally open switch to +12V supply to spots.

Step 6:
Connect spots ground to..........ground

If this is not clear I'll draw a picture.
