Post subject:  Another backup light question
I put 3 driving lights on my basket, the small rectangular ones with 50 watts each. I had 1 left over so I put it on the back of the basket for a backup light. I'm not happy with it. I think what I need is a flood light. Something that will be small but still flood the area with light. Any suggestions? Nothing super bright either.

Thats what I ran into also need a flood light , my driving lights, have two on the back) work but only in a small area (since they are longer distance lights) I want small lights but also flood, had some but they were 5 inch rounds and looked too big and goofy

I wonder how a rectangular head light would work, on low beam?

that would be awfully big wouldnt it? depth etc ? Trying to find a set of fog lights now in like a 3 x5 or so fogs throw more light closer etc.
Getting a nice collection of lights now have
two 6 inch floods , too big, look bulky on the rack in back
two 3 inch 55 watt driving pattern too narrow of a pattern up close like we need
two 5 inch aircraft landing lights.....again great for long distance but not up close! :lol:

Try a 4" round tractor flood light,some auto parts stores will carry them.If you happen to have a Tractore Supply Company store around they will have them,cheap(about $10-$15),sealed beam,and have a rubber case for vibrations.

Thats what I am trying next had a set of 6 inch that I took off an old tractor of mine but just too big so thought 4 inch would be better! Of course if I get the "NEW" rack I just got pictures of yesterday from someone out west there..... where would I put them? :wink:

I put some 4" dia. floods on my ATV, $10 per from Northern Tool and Equipment. They work great. On the KJ I have some Kragen specials, which are crap, but fairly cheap.

Thanks for the ideas! The 4" tractor light might just do it. There is a tractor supply close by. Here is what I have on the front of the basket.
