I'm looking to add some roof-rack mounted auxiliary lighting to my van; I'd like to be able to see what's around me when maneuvering on logging roads in the dark without sticking a flashlight out the window, and it will likely get used as task lighting for general camp stuff. Obviously this would be exclusively for off-road use, and separately switched from headlights/running lights etc.
I'm thinking ~7 lights spaced around the rack covering everything except straight ahead, individually controlled.
I *hate* cool white LEDs; I'd really like something neutral tint, or warmish in a pinch.
The ideal would be a super wide beam, 70 degrees or more. I'd like at least 1500 lumens per unit, but if there's something otherwise ideal that's dimmer I suppose I could add more lights. And I don't want to spend a fortune.
Thus far I get the impression I'm SOL on the neutral white portion at the least. Anyone seen such a thing?
