When driving at night particularly on country roads there are many unseen hazards, each of which can cause mayhem to a vehicle travelling at highway speeds.

We’re going to talk about all the auxiliary LED lighting that is available from 4WD Supacentre, to increase your night vision, and dramatically reduce the risk during long night drives!
You have 2 main options for Illuminating the road ahead!

LED DRIVING LIGHTS

Traditionally spotlights and driving lights have been the go to for many decades, and in recent years have taken quite a few leaps and bounds improving the performance and efficiency.

Unlike a traditional style spotlight which uses 1 halogen bulb in a large reflector, modern LED driving lights use many smaller bulbs which combine with highly refined and efficient reflectors which are focused to throw light a long range down the track, as well as offering a reasonable amount of spread to illuminate the sides of the track, and give you a warning about any unexpected hazards on the shoulders of the road ahead.

The traditional style of spotlights waste lots of energy, by turning electricity into heat, you waste power that could be turned into light. LED’s are typically far more efficient in this regard, and for the same given power will output sharper and brighter light, in a much more ‘tunable’ frequency of light.

Typically you will find LED Lights in frequencies ranging from 4500K to 6500K, with better quality lights approaching 6500K This band of light is closest to the light you see from the sun at midday. Human eyes are tuned to this colour temperature and can distinguish greater details at longer distances when it is used.

Light emitted in this temperature generally makes spotting hazards easier and is much harder to achieve with a traditional halogen bulb.

The Adventure Kings 7” and 9” LED Driving lights offer one of the best value alternatives to any other spotlight on the market. Using ultra bright LED’s a set of 9” led driving lights can achieve a massive 18,000 lumens per pair with a lux rating of 1 lux at approximately 575m.

For under $150 per pair , this is simply unbelievable value.

The 7” Spotties offered by Adventure Kings utilise the same style of LED chips, on a more compact unit, outputting still rather impressive 10500 lumens with 1 lux out to 230m. The 7” driving lights are suited to more compact mounting locations like many bullbars on the market and priced just over $100 will offer a massive performance light for even the most budget oriented night drivers!

LED LIGHT BARS

LED Lightbars are a relatively new innovation to the 4WD and trucking community.

An LED Lightbar uses one or more rows of led light modules, with individual reflectors similar to those in LED driving lights, they are encased inside a durable and waterproof alloy housing with big cooling fins on the rear.

Led light bars often incorporate a flood style reflector on both the extremities to throw light wider on the tracks allowing more vision out wider.

Some led light bars share the same performance characteristics of an LED driving light, however most do not and typically spread the light wider and shorter range.

With all things considered, you can see the benefits of both the led lightbars and the led driving lights.
for different driving conditions, for maximum light output you can even combine both styles for maximum range and maximum spread.

WIRING HARNESSES
There are many ways to wire up your led lightbar or your LED Spotlights. All Adventure Kings units come fitted from factory with waterproof Deutsch plugs, which simply plug and play into a suitable Adventure Kings wiring harness.

Manufactured with simplicity of installation in mind the Adventure Kings LED Lightbar and LED Driving Light harnesses incorporate everything you need to make your spotlights operate whilst you operate your vehicles factory fitted high beams.

The Adventure Kings Wiring harnesses all include an adaptor kit to plug directly into H4 and HB3 style high beam globes and can even be modified to suit vehicles that use negative switching circuitry like many Toyotas and other Japanese manufactured vehicles.

When looking at making your night driving safer, there aren’t too many options quite like the Adventure Kings range for throwing a lot of light down the tracks and saving you plenty of money in the process.
