What did you do to your Ultimate Jeep today - 2013

[Adondo]

Took some photos last night. I don't know what I did to blur the outside view ones, the Canon was on a tripod.

Anyway, here's low beams.


High beams, which in my case include the bumper HID's and HID converted foglights.


The whole enchilada:

From the inside. I used manual mode, so the shutter and aperture were the same for all the 2.5 second shots. I braced the camera against the ceiling.

ALL of 'em:

Very nice light set Up !!

I also like the way you did your cameras.

Thanks.

The lights are very hard to capture, and the photos really don't do it justice. I may be nuts, but I have a 30" bar on the way, should be here next Wednesday FedEx. That will sit right at the bottom of the grill, and I'm thinking those HID's are going to replace my "alley" lights.

I was doing the math last night. The single row bar's LED's are 450 lumens each. That's a reasonable figure because my everyday carry Fenix PD32UE's forth level is 400 lumens, with 740 full power. And, that's a flashlight that's an inch shorter than a Mini-Maglight.

So... the 40 inch bar with it's 24 five watt Cree LED's is 120 watts and 10,800 lumens. The 30" bar with 18 LED's is 8,100 lumens. When I get it installed, that's 18,900 lumens blasting away, and that doesn't include the headlights or anything else. (Evil laugh: moo hoo ha ha ha)

I'm thinking the single row bars are the better deal actually, because the double row bars, Ridged included, use 3 watt LED's instead. A 40 inch bar has 80 three watt LED's for 240 watts. Those work out to 180 lumens each, so that ends up being 14,400 lumens, which isn't all that much more than a single row's 10,800, and those are lots more money.

I've found that the rear camera's guide lines really help in backing up. If it's a dirt road, I just line up the lines with the tire tracks, and away I go. It's like cheating.
