Yet another Spotlight Question
I am busy installing my Spots.
How do you guys actually setup the two spots.Some people do a crossover beam.Some do the spots straight.Some turn the left one a bit to the left to pick up things on the side of the road.
I need to get my preferred position because once I got the position right i need to take off the bull bar and then tighten it properly.
i will appreciate your input

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
I think it all depends on you're needs, I set mine straight, the high beams of my bakkie is enough for the sides of the road.

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
Met my Hella ralley 1000's wat ek op die grondpad verloor het, het ek hulle reguit laat skyn, daai spots het goeie lig gemaak. Die Hella 500 wat ek nou op het skyn ook reguit voor, maar met baie minder lig. Het 2 van daai cheap klein ronde spots by gekoop en vir hulle ook toegerus met night brakers en hulle weerskante van die 500's gesit en so bietjie gedraai sodat hulle die gras daar voor mooi helder lig. Dit werk vir my.

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
Myne is reguit gestel met daai toerusting wat hulle by die toets sentrums gebruik, maar Trevor,daai idee van jou behhoort ook goed te werk as jy meer 'side light' benodig.
George, daai storie van onder vasmaak klink soos 'n probleem as jy nou die hele bumper moet afhaal om vas te maak. Draai die boute om sodat jy dit behoorlik sonder moeite kan instel .... anderste maak 'n stel brackets of 'n mini light bar.

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
Dankie ouens.Ek gaan myne ook dan reguit sit.
Ek het maar die Hella 500 cheapies gekry vir nou.
Andy ek het 'n thread in die bumber gesny so die skroef draai heel stewig in en dan nog 'n moer om hom stewig te trek.Die moer aan die binnekant gaan maar net wees om ekstra seker te maak.
Ek moet anyway die bumper afhaal om plasma tou op die winch te sit

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
Sit 4 op George.. 2 vir kante toe skyn om die padskouers te verlig en 2 vir in die pad af om die jay-walkers te verlig. Kan jy nie van onder af die boute vasdraai nie? Nie eers met 'n socket en extention nie?

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
Die bumper het ook 2 spotties ingebou saam met misligte.So dalk moet ek maar hulle ook behou dan het ek vier.Ek sal moet baie klein handjies erens kry en 'n klein spannerkie om daar in te kom.ThysdJ wrote:Sit 4 op George.. 2 vir kante toe skyn om die padskouers te verlig en 2 vir in die pad af om die jay-walkers te verlig.

Do I tilt the light to form a "spot" on the road or do I let the beam shine "above" the road?

Myne is gestel om so 150m in die straat af te gooi sonder moeite. Help ook nie jy stel hom dat jy op die maan skyn nie; die son doen dit reeds goed genoeg.

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
With the Hella's I adjusted the left one a bit to the left so I can see the bokkies next to the road as we frequenly travel the West Coast road at night
With the new spots I don't have to do it as it gooi a lekker wide beam , so the new ones are adjusted straight forward

Re: Yet another Spotlight Question
George, as ek nog iets kan voorstel. As hy jou spots instel stel dit eerder laer as te hoog. Rede hiervoor jy stel jou spots in sonder vrag, en dan as jy reg is om op vakansie te gaan is jy gelaai dan skyn hulle in die bome.....

Die LED spots wat Piter invoer is so 55 watt. Jy kan ook verskillende lense van 30deg tot so 5/7deg kry, vervang basies soos jy wil. Hulle kos so R3k vir 'n stel en is vrek stewig...kg gewysSpartan wrote:Piet watse spots is daai rooies en wat kos hulle?
