The Adventure Kings Domin8r Xtreme 9\u201d Driving Lights<\/strong> <\/a>and Adventure Kings Domin8r Xtreme 7\u201d Driving Lights<\/strong><\/a> are one of Australia\u2019s latest developments in the driving light market.

Offering some of the brightest and most jacked up light outputs currently possible purely from LED\u2019s, from not only an extremely compact, durable and stylish cast aluminium housing but without costing an arm and a leg.

Outputs from similar sized lights typically range in the 15,000 Lumen range the competitions LED Driving lights fall short, when compared to Kings and are usually priced near double the Adventure Kings prices.

Whilst boasting reasonable performance many brands don\u2019t live up to the hype when compared to the Kings range of lights. For instance, a sample from a competitor brand offering available in the 9\u201d class of LED driving lights, these are rated at near 15,000 lumens with 1 Lux at a hair over 1000m whilst impressive, The brand New Domin8r Xtreme 9\u201d boasts 375m+ more range and a 4796 Lumen advantage thanks to the 18 genuine Osram LED\u2019s.

What do the ratings really mean?<\/strong>

When shopping for a new set of LED Driving lights, the best way to get your head about the outputs that are advertised on the packet is like a common garden hose nozzle.<\/p>\n

Lumens = Brightness<\/strong>

Lumens describe the total output of light that is available when in optimum conditions e.g. Warmed up to operating temperature, with more than enough battery power to keep them running. When making the comparison Lumen output is best compared with how much water is coming through the hose, with higher lumen rating meaning the tap is turned on more and lower ratings meaning the flow is reduced.

Lumens only describe the light output and do not give us an accurate idea of the lights range or spread.

LUX = Luminous flux <\/strong><\/p>\n

Lux is a measurement that describes just how much light is being received at the listed distance (equal to one lumen per square Metre). Keeping with the hose nozzle analogy, LUX is the spray pattern for instance whether it is more like a jet nozzle or more like the shower nozzle of your hose.

A good example of varying LUX readings is the ratings found on the Kings Domin8r Xtreme 9\u201d LED Driving Lights <\/strong>measuring in with 1 LUX at 1,384m from their impressive 19,796 Lumens, when compared to something with a lower but similar output light source the Kings Domin8r 42″ LED Lightbar <\/strong><\/a>which boasts 13,111 Lumens, but has a range of 1 LUX at just 327m.

WATTAGE
<\/strong>
Whilst wattage used to be an incredibly useful tool back when lights were resistance based, it is an outdated method for getting a real idea about just how bright your new LED driving lights are, as the old ratings give you more of an idea about how much overall energy the lights use but not how much they will put out.<\/p>\n

Wiring<\/strong><\/p>\n

The other thing to consider when shopping for your new LED lights is how they are wired up, whilst you may have a \u201cfactory driving light harness\u201d or \u201cone from your old set of lights\u201d it is always best to make sure the gauge of wire, the size of the in line fuse and the 12v relay are up to the task of running your LED lights without blowing up, burning out, catching fire or shorting out other circuits.<\/p>\n

This is why Adventure Kings offers the simple plug n play wiring harnesses, these kits come with everything you need to connect your new LED driving lights up with the included deutsch connectors
