6 Xm-l light bar build

I have a belt mounted Li-polymer battery pack with microphone cable connectors, easy plug and go. It’s got a 12V and 13.1V selectable switch, something like 5500mAh? Not sure, but it should run this bad boy for a while anyway! :wink: That random strobe could be awesome in a pinch, yes? :slight_smile:

Here is A quick drawing of what the new single might look like. 2.375” Diameter x 3” long.


I’m about to put a push bar on a ’12 Escape, wife isn’t keen on the big light bar although I love it. Maybe she’ll be good with a couple singles on/under a black bar….great idea!

I received the prototype board today, Thanks PilotPTK. I am hoping to have the housing done next week. I am still finalizing the design.

I added a power input on this one for the motorcycle guys. It now has dual power inputs like a regular headlight low/high. One input for low the other for high.

The optic that is pictured is the flood. The spot is clear.

Final drawing, time to throw some aluminum!


Just saw this thread and read through the entire thing. Great craftsmanship! Do you offer a warranty on these light bars? How waterproof are they?

Lifetime warranty. Lights are fully sealed. I have tested them fully submerged in water for over 24 hous.

Will the round lights be side mounted or bottom mounted? I'm trying to think of how I'd mount them on my motorcycle, ideally as a headlight replacement.

I'd almost certainly run two of those to fill out the front. Or just the 6x lightbar if wiring is still simple.

Now I have a winter project. Rehab my bike.

Side mounted like the light bar. I will probably make a u shaped bracket. I have not got that far yet.

Prototype housing started.

Finished turning the body tonight. Came out really nice. My butthole was fully puckered and I had my finger hovering the feed hold while machining the grooves. The deep ones are .875” deep x .120” wide.






Looks good. Is that the same body you'll be putting the MT-G2 into?

I am not doing the MTG2, only a 3 XM-L2. Cost and manufacturing of a MTG2 light was cost prohibitive.

That thing is looking real good. The hand shot gives a good perspective of size. Thanks.

Finished drilling and tapping the housing. I still need to make a bracket.



That looks great in raw aluminum.

Back from anodize.

Ryan, do you have prices on these? Looks awesome!

$190 each.

Made up a mounting bracket. Production one will be 304SS. This one is aluminum. Thoughts on the bracket?
