Richard, I don’t expect you to have these IP rated or anything, but do you have any testaments of what kind of water intrusion they’ll resist? I assume driving at highway speeds is no problem, how about water crossings, or a high pressure car wash?
They'll resist any normal use. We test them with medium pressure water, and those in testing have been through dozens of car washes and pressure washes (but you must keep the nozzle several inches away---this goes for any seal). Remember, they've been through thousands of hours of real-world testing, and people wash their stuff and drive through rain.
Congratulations, look forward to you posting at least a few pictures and videos. Completely surprised by the Nichia 5000K, I was thinking XP-G or XM-L’s the whole time. No 12,000K Glare Masters here.
I've tested lots of different LEDs---practically all that I have in my possession (you know that's a lot) and have tested them with different optics for lumens and throw. Overall, the Nichia 219C comes out the winner in this application IMO. The blend of overall output, throw, and tint make for a winning combination.
So, would a 50” light bar look out of place on the top of my 2017 Toyota Camry, like right over the windshield? Would a second one under the rear bumper be such a bad thing, you know, for those folks that feel like they just HAVE to tailgate?
Wow these looks nice! Richard do you have plans to release a super far throwing version, maybe using HI emitters? I just compared the mtnlitebar to some of the famous expensive ones in the market and the mtn wins hands down in terms of power and output, but some light bars from rigid industries claim 1Mcd+ in their hyper-spot version.
Anyways I wish I had a car in which I could install these, my CUV and sport coupe aren’t candidates.
This guy has had Rigid and Vision X lights on before, but said he couldn't see far enough---now he can! More lumens, more throw, modes, and battery protection.
