I'm interested in some inexpensive little floods for offroad work, not to be used as fogs. I subscribe to Hilldweller's philosophy that if I'm using it out in the brush it's probably going to get whacked by a limb before it's very old.
I see a jillion of 'em for sale at Amazon, but are there any favorites? I want to be able to see to the side before I turn in that direction, and to be able to work around the truck. When you are maneuvering a full sized pickup in the woods at night, it seems there's always a tree you are about to clip or a log to back into. I do not like bluish light. I could probably use some leftover halogen floods and be happy with their light, but I think the LED cubes would be more compact and use less power.
I was thinking about mounting something on the front brush bar, but I need a headache rack anyway, and I think I'll mount some little cubes on that, sort of like cop cars mounted "alley lights," but with a downward angle and flood beam. Again, these are NOT to be used on public roads, only in the woods, and mostly on my own property. It seems I often make runs across the field to the little log barn that's in the woods, then load or unload in the dark.
