Similar to the KC Brand

"If you've ever used offroad lights/utility lights, you likely know the style that has become more popular over the last 50 years. These are made very similarly, high quality with good water seals. Takes standard halogen projector bulbs when these burn out. Anti-vibration mounts make for easy installation on bumpers and light racks. Bright, probably around 100W of power (though the package isn't specific)."

Bright off road/tractor lights

,
January 16, 2012
By fordbyfour
from Oregon
"Bought a couple of these and put them on the brush guard of my F250. When you are out in the country or coming back from hunting they really light the way. The nice thing about them is that you can put 130W bulbs in them and get a little more light. I recommend wiring them up to a 30W relay to keep them from burning up your wire or bulbs when they overheat. You could wire in a fuse if you don't mind changing it every couple of hours you have your lights on."

Really Nice!

November 30, 2011
By affordableapusolutions
from NW Arizona
"The quality is top- shelf.
The best part for me is the fact that a standard H5001 sealed-beam headlight bulb will fit perfectly. (fluted high-beam headlight LEGAL on the road) I am an over-the-road trucker and have them mounted on an after-market "moose bumper" on my semi truck. Aimed off to the sides of the road, I can see critters fixin' to test that bumper in time to slow down and avoid hitting them. They also won't blind the on-coming traffic if aimed properly. GREAT lights.

"I put them on the top of our Mule and it works well for use in the woods and the dirt roads. The ony draw back is the light does not have enough adjustment on the base."

"I mounted 2 of these lights on the top-front corners of my tractor-mounted snowblower (Bercomac cab on a Cub Cadet LT2042 with a 40" Bercomac Compact snowblower). Each snowfall, I use this unit to remove snow from a couple dozen residential properties. Good lighting allows safe operation 24/7.
These lights are very bright, rugged, seem to use minimal electricity, & look good. A toggle switch allows me to turn them off for daytime snow removal.
Amazing value for the price."

"I put 2 of these on my tractor plow frame for plowing. these lights throw a ton of light! the lights were easy to mount and east to hook up to a switch. the only downside to these lights is the fact that they are 100w halogen bulbs and they use a substantial amount of "juice," but other than that it is a great light
i would recomend this light to anyone"

"I bought two of these for mounting on our tractor.... worked well, gave good illumination for hooking/unhooking implements and for general lighting
They would work well for any general lighting on trucks, trailers, welders, etc.

Offroading Lights

May 24, 2010
By ScoobyShepheard
from Orlando Fl
"I installed four of these fixtures on the front of my truck for offroading purposes. With them i can see every thing in front of me. They work just as good if not better than units costing ten times as much. With them I've been through mud sand and submersed them in water and they still work like new. I plan on buying more of these."

"These lights look awesome and are really bright. The chrome is absolutely flawless and can really be a nice finishing touch on a project, but is a great addition to anything that needs to shed some light! You can't beat the price for anything even close to these."

Effective as worklight/foglight/offroad light.

,
April 21, 2008
By RJOchs
from Sussex, NJ
"Good/ Bad/ What it's for.
Good:
These lights are very bright, easily adjustable, and very stable. I have had lights that would wobble while offroad, these stay straight and bright under offroad use.
Bad:
these lights take a long time to warm up. I would not reccomend these as fog light as they have a spot light pattern.
What they're for:
These lights are advertised as work lights, and as such they work very well. I use them for nighttime offroad recovery of stranded vehicles and they light up the work area very well.
