I am guessing your KC lights are halogens, and the correct term to use is that they draw a lot of current. There are other choices of light types that may draw less current but put out more light. LED lights are more efficient but for the most part they can be a lot more expensive and are a rather new technology. HID is the most go to technology as it is more efficient that halogen and more efficient than some LED technologies also and a lot more cost effective at this time.I am looking for some LED off road lights to replace my KC Daylighters? Are the work lights off of ebay any good? My daylighters just draw so much electricity.
Thanks for the help.
I had a pair of 100watt H3 ones back in the 80s.The original KC Daylighter is a 150watt sealed beam but there are halogen ones that use a 55 or 100 watt H3 bulb.
I think you are probably going to be short on money going for LEDs to replace 100+ watt halogen incans. Incans are dirt cheap to make while LEDs would require multiple emitters special reflectors/optics and probably some sort of electronic circuitry.I have the 150W ones.
They are bright but just put a huge strain on my electrical system in my truck. I found some LED work lights on ebay but I dont know how well they work.
I dont have a lot of money to spend on these. I am just wondering if there is a better LED light to replace my daylighters with.
It may be cheaper to upgrade the alternator than to try and get an LED replacement for 150 watt halogen lights.What is your vehicle that can't spare 300 watts of power? The easiest and most economical option is to replace your sealed beams with replacement parts using lower wattage bulbs.
I had a set of those sealed beam Daylighters.....and from what i recall, you won't find an affordable commercial LED replacement.
Has anyone seen or used this product. http://www.soundoffsignal.com/white_illum/WorkLts/wl_5rect_1400.html I wonder how these would be compared to my Daylighters.
I also have a pair of rigid industries duallys they are very bright, tough as nails too. highly recommended.
If they are strictly for off road use, why not just keep the daylighters and convert them to HID. I know a lot of offroaders change the Hella 550 FF's to HID. Don't think you can get much brighter and you don't have to worry about blinding other drivers. Hid kits are pretty cheap these days.
