Years ago, there wasn\u2019t much choice if you wanted to fit a pair of<\/strong> driving lights<\/strong><\/a> on your vehicle. However, that\u2019s not the case anymore with a huge range of high quality and affordable spot lights<\/strong><\/a> on the market with something to suit every vehicle, every budget and everyone\u2019s preference. Whether you\u2019re after an LED lightbar<\/strong><\/a> to maximise the amount of light you\u2019re getting off to each side,\u00a0 to make avoiding animals or navigating tight low range tracks easierm, or you need a pair of Laser Driving Lights<\/strong><\/a> for the ultimate in long-distance vision for those remote trips you\u2019ll find what you\u2019re looking for at 4WD Supacentre. LED lights<\/strong><\/a> have change the game for many reasons \u2013 they\u2019re highly efficient in the sense that they put out a lot of light for the amount of power they use, because the lights don\u2019t rely on a single powerful bulb and large reflectors there\u2019s a much larger variation in shapes and size and finally they\u2019re more rugged, with no filament that can rattle around and potentially break.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first consideration is which size and shape will suit your vehicle. 9\u201d driving lights<\/strong><\/a> will throw more light than 7\u201d LED lights<\/strong><\/a>, but obviously they\u2019re in a larger housing which means that you\u2019ll need more space on your bullbar and you need to consider airflow to your radiator. Don\u2019t think just because they\u2019re a little smaller a pair of 7\u201d Spot lights<\/strong><\/a> aren\u2019t up to the task though! The Adventure Kings 7\u201d Domin8r Xtreme Driving lights <\/strong><\/a>are capable of 1 lux at a huge 1111 metres and output over 13,000 lumens as a pair. Of course opting for a set of 7\u201d laser driving lights<\/strong><\/a> will increase the spot light distance to 1 lux at 1618 metres\u2026 as you can see even a set of 7\u201d LED lights<\/strong><\/a> will throw a huge amount of light. One of the main reasons Adventure Kings Driving lights<\/strong><\/a> are able to perform so well is that they are fitted with OSRAM LEDs. OSRAM is at the forefront of LED technology so by being fitted with genuine OSRAM LEDs, Adventure Kings Driving Lights<\/strong><\/a> are at the forefront too.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another huge advantage of using LED lights is that you can engineer many different sizes and shapes compared to the old spot light technology. A perfect example is an LED Light Bar<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 by positioning the LEDs alongside each other you can create lights that offer a huge amount of spread and distance of light, in a housing that is much more slim line. Again, you need to decide what\u2019s right for your vehicle \u2013 do you need the slim and compact housing that a single row lightbar<\/strong><\/a> offers? Or do you want the maximum light output that spreads to each side from a Domin8r lightbar<\/strong><\/a>? Finally, for the ultimate in spot and spread you can choose a Laser Lightbar<\/strong><\/a>. Many 4WDers love that a slimline lightbar<\/strong><\/a> can be mounted just about anywhere without standing out and in fact, slim light bars<\/strong><\/a> tend to enhance the look of a vehicle thanks to how sleek and modern they are. There are even numberplate lightbars<\/strong><\/a>, which make fitting easy on almost any vehicle and add heaps of light. Plus, there are smaller lightbars<\/strong><\/a> that are ideal for everything from forward facing spot lights<\/strong><\/a>, through to camp lighting<\/strong><\/a> or even rock lights<\/a>.<\/strong> The 3\u201d worklights<\/strong><\/a> are a great choice as reverse lights too, as they offer plenty of spread and spot light!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The next thing to look at when choosing an LED Lightbar<\/strong><\/a>, or a set of LED Driving lights<\/strong><\/a> is how tough they are. LED lights<\/strong> <\/a>are already super robust thanks to not needing a brittle light bulb, but there are plenty of other key features to look for. Number one is to ensure they have a tough housing and mounting system and you can rest assured Adventure Kings LED lights<\/strong><\/a> have those! It\u2019s also a good idea to look at the IP rating, which is a two number system that tells you how water proof and dust proof the driving lights<\/strong><\/a> are. Look for a minimum of IP67, which means the Driving light<\/a>s<\/strong> are fully dust proof (that\u2019s the \u20186\u2019) and waterproof up to 1 metre of water for up to 30 mins (that\u2019s the \u20187\u2019). Adventure Kings Laser Driving Lights<\/strong><\/a> offer a huge IP67 rating so you know you can rely on them. The IP67 rating also applies to Laser Light Bars<\/strong><\/a> as well as the Numberplate LED light bar<\/a>.<\/strong> Next is IP68 which takes the rating even further \u2013 offering full dustproofing and water proofing over 1m in depth for more than 30 minutes. The range leading Domin8r Xtreme driving lights <\/strong><\/a>are IP68 rated to ensure they\u2019re protected against just about anything you can put them through.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finally you need to think about the kind of driving you do (or you\u2019re likely to do). If you\u2019re a fan of low range, tough tracks then an LED light bar<\/strong><\/a> or a pair of LED Driving lights<\/strong><\/a> with a high lumen output are what you want. Or, for the best setup you can combine both \u2013 it\u2019s easy these days when you can get an entire LED light pack <\/strong><\/a>in the one box, ready to install! If you\u2019re doing more remote driving or touring long distances then you\u2019ll want both high lumens and a good lux output. This is where Spot lights like the 9\u201d Domin8r Xtreme<\/strong><\/a> or the 8.5\u201d Laser Driving Lights<\/strong><\/a> come into their own. With the massive amount of light they can throw at a long distance, you\u2019ll be able to see hazards well before they\u2019re an issue. Again though, a laser driving light and laser lightbar combo<\/strong><\/a> will offer you the best of both worlds with an absolutely insane amount of light!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
