Best budget lighting

[LandCrusherOneHundy]

I looked around and haven’t found a thread on this so forgive me if this has been discussed already..

I’m looking for some lighting to mount to my rack and bumper. I want a work/flood light on the driver, passenger, and rear facing. In regards to front facing, I want a spot beam and a flood beam.

I am going to be installing a CB shortly and will probably delve into the HAM world down the road. I have heard that you need to be careful what lighting you use so you don’t cause radio interference so keep that in mind.

I am trying to find the best balance between cost and quality. So... in your opinion what is the most reliable/quality budget lighting?

I have been using the generic china made LED mixed flood/beam light bar and spot package for past several years. Never had any issues but can't talk towards any interference they may or may not cause. I'd suspect they would be less noisy compared to non-led lighting just out of less draw but really don't know.

Something like this

LED's put out mad RF. No way around it other than your keep your radio power source and grounds clean and just squelch the rest out. You'll find over time that you catch RF interference even off other people's lighting setups

So I am also looking for lighting options. I am gathering up parts and pieces. To date, I have

• a set of 2" spot beam led pods to be mounted in front off road bumper at fog light pockets
• a set of 2" flood beam led pods to be mounted in front off road bumper at fog light pockets
• a set of 6 rock lights to be mounted to outside of frame to throw light around perimeter of truck

I would like to mount either a bar or a set of like 6 individual lights to the front of my bumper. I am not a big fan of the standard LED bars. Just not the cookie cutter look I want. Looking for something different. Has to be less then 3.1/2" tall. I do like a few of the modular lights that can be assembled into a bar. Mostly like the round bezels.

I have a set of dually ss https://www.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/261113
Mounted on ditch brackets and a set of back up lightshttps://www.rigidindustries.com/led-lighting/980003 mounted on my roof rack facing backwards. I have really enjoyed them and they are super bright. I am looking at getting some area lighting for the driver and passenger sides, and maybe some rock lights.

Go check out the LED lights on amazon or ebay. I had mine for a few years before I sold my rig with no issues at all. Some do have bad seals around the glass so you can run a bead of silicone around it just as a precaution.

Yeah there are all kinds of lights out there that will work. Just be sure to check waterproof rating, my lights are IP68, less than that I’ve seen some fog up. Good quality ones that have that rating would be like Black Oak LED it Calirased Offroad for example. Rigids and Bajas are nice, but twice the $$$

I have been researching the Auxbeams too. I think I am going to pull the trigger on them!

No compliants with my Auxbeams. I did recently change the switches that came with the wiring harness. The harness is well made with a relay, but the push button switch I did not like. I prefer lighted rocker switches. I ended up with a digital panel switch with six lighed touch sensitive color changing switches.
