Finally bought 4 route clearance flood lights and got them installed over the weekend with some great assistance from Beerslayer.
They are very bright, kinda looks like a stadium light driving down the road:smile:
These things are very impressive and I would highly recomend them!

I only have one picture to post for now, but i'll try and get more detailed pictures of the install later.

These are mounted on a custom light bar utilizing the convoy light mounting positions behind the cab.

YoungGun - pic's are hard to tell - are them the LED units by Trucklite or normal - might be just position of the pic if they are the LED cause the LEDS are way bighter than this.

Only reason I mention is I have 4 - LEDS across the top cab rack an they are brighter than crap.

Great pic at nightfall in the sneak position.

They are the Truck-Lite 7" Route Clearance LED flood lights (#07392).
Picture does not do them justice, the inner 2 are pointed slightly outward and the outer 2 are pointed almost 45 deg outwards.
The headlights are the newer Truck-Lite LED with the clear lense.
This setup will light sh#t up!

Its either run in a 2 bulb series or he has all of them hooked in series together. 1 switch for the 2 inners and 1 switch for the 2 outers or their wired all in series on one switch.

NICE! i will have 9 on my truck 7 facing foward and 2 facing rear along with 2 LED headlights...I will defiantly have a 360 degree view...
That's pretty cool !
I'm going to get 4 more here soon and arrange them to get a 360 light saturation around the truck. I'm thinking 4 to the front and 4 to the back.
How are you going to mount them?

Thanks!
I'll try and get some pictures of the install tonight if I don't run out of daylight.
Using all packard connectors and prestolite 14ga wire, I tapped into the 24v incoming power to the ignition, split the 24v to my 2 switches, ran a wire harness along the exsisting one through the fire wall and inside the frame, back to the bottom of my upright tube where I again added packard connections in case I want to take it off for some reason, then up the tube and into the top tube where I brought the wires out at each light through rubber gromets again with packard connectors to hook up to each light.
The only thing I need to do is add a breaker between the power coming out of the ignition and the switches which will simply be a plug and play when it comes in, and tidy up the wiring a little.
These lights are rated for a max draw of 1.63amps @24v each which is not very much.
Hopefully that ramble makes sense:smile:

If I get pictures tonight i'll post them tomorrow.

I lite all 4 of mine up at once - and indeed they are brighter than chit.

We had a great time to test them when we went on the little river canyon run in AL a couple yrs ago - I think I sent AL into the dark ages - it was the middle of the night when I turned them on headed over there - and AL folks started calling into the radio station about UFO's - aliens - all kinds of weird stuff - they are awesome lights.

They are very bright. Not a good idea to stand in front of that truck in the dark when he turns them on.

I have a breaker for you, they came yesterday.
