The end of summer hit most of us pretty hard and some of us are even facing losing an hour of usable light with the end of daylight savings approaching extremely fast. It’s nearly going to be impossible to get out and explore the vast and untamed tracks around unless you are prepared to illuminate the way ahead with your own light!

To help you combat the coming darkness and to arrive at your destination safe and sound, Adventure Kings has engineered one of the brightest and most affordable LED Spotlights on the market. The Adventure Kings 9” LED Driving Lights, being able to pick up a pair for under $200 it’s easy to instantly discredit them as cheap, but they are anything but! So listen closely, we’re going to show you why these are this seasons MUST HAVE LED DRIVING LIGHT!

Seriously Bright

When considering which pair of LED spotlights or LED driving lights are suitable for your 4WD, many people look straight to the lumen ratings and whilst being a fairly accurate way to rate the brightness of an LED Light, there are many online numbers that have been conflated for the purpose of marketing.

At Adventure Kings we make sure that all of our LED Light range have been tested and rated by an independent NATA accredited facility, that can independently verify the performance of these lights including details like the spread range and intensity drop off (focus of the beam) for absolute confidence in them!
But before we start, what do the terms Lux and Lumens mean? we hear you ask, the two are related but the best way to think about it is like a hose nozzle with an adjustable spray pattern, the flow of water through the hose is the lumens or the “volume” of the light being put out by the lamp. The lux is the measure of the spray pattern on a 1m square area and depending on how focused “jet nozzle” the light is will affect the range of the beam. With a more “fan pattern spray” of light will light up the sides of the track but will lose some long range effectiveness, where a more focused beam will read higher lux ratings at longer distances. For some context on what the numbers mean 1 lux is approximately bright enough to read text on a white page.
Now with that clarity on the subject, when we got our results back from the lab, even we were impressed, with a genuine 18,000+ Lumens of light output our 9″ LED Driving lights  are staggeringly bright and being able to illuminate 1 lux at the range of ~560m, it’s not hard to see why these are some of the most popular spotties available on the market.

Who is Kelvin?

Now that we’ve cleared up Lumens, what is this Kelvin temperature mumbo jumbo, it seems to be all over lightbulb and LED sales material but without a clear explanation of why it is important.

The Kelvin temperature is not an actual thermometer temperature rating, but rather a description of the colour of the light output. every light source has a colour temperature associated with it, for example;

• 1650-2000 K: Wood & Candle flame, sunrise and sunset.
• 2700-3300 K: Incandescent light globe (with filament)
• 4100-4150 K: moonlight
• 5000 K: daylight on the horizon
• 5500-6000 K: direct sunlight
• 6500 K: Overcast day Sunlight
• 6500-9300 K: Computer Screen

With all of these descriptions, you’ll see why LED Lights with a temperature between 6000K and 6500K are perfect for night time driving, they offer clear and bright white light that will give your eyes excellent contrast, and also to a lesser degree, help keep your attention and awareness late at night!

Bombproof – Torture tested

Every LED light sold by Adventure Kings has to be rigorously torture tested, we do this in a number of ways, including vibration, shock and impact testing, but the final and most important way is by field testing, through time in the field we can research exactly where our products might fail, and improve them, making sure that when you are relying on them, they won’t let you down!

Waterproof & Dustproof

with Confidence in the intensity of the light output, the value for money, and how much abuse these lights can take, the final thing to tick off the list is how waterproof and dustproof they are.

The Adventure Kings whole range of LED Lightbars and LED Driving lights are IP67 minimum, with most of the range meeting the stricter IP68 Standard, offering a fully waterproof and dust ingress protection to a water depth of over 1m, this heavy duty seal means that no matter how gnarly the mud puddles, or how deep the creek crossings, your LED light will light up the tracks ahead without a problem.

Warranty

Not only does the Adventure Kings range of led lighting offer some of the best value LED Lighting on the Australian market, it also boasts some of the best performance, certainly challenging the throne of some of the more expensive competitors, but without a doubt, the Adventure Kings 12 month warranty, offers a piece of mind unrivalled on the market.
