When deciding on the best gift for the explorer you know, there’s a few things to keep in mind! We take a look at our different types of lights and what they are best suited for:
LED Driving Lights or Light Bars?
While both are great for those who spend time on roads with no light, trails or who are exploring wide open spaces, there are a few differences that may make either spotlights or light bars more suitable – and for those who are tackling the really tough stuff, a combination of the two will provide you with the best light coverage for your adventures!
Beam Distance
If you’re hitting the bush, hunting down the ideal camping spot or even rolling down a dark highway, being able to see further ahead means you’ll be prepared for anything the terrain can throw at you. Typically, Driving lights or spotlights that have their LED’s concentrated into a powerful beam can throw light much further down the track…
Beam Width
As much fun as it is cruising through these wider spaces, sometimes you want to tackle the tighter, twisty, difficult trails. If you spend a lot of time on small country roads or narrower tracks, a light bar might be for you. The light from a light bar usually gives a wider beam, allowing you to see the details at the edges of the trail and avoid those sharp rocks, or see any hazards that may be lurking off to the side of your route.
So although their prime function is to light the way, driving lights and light bars provide some subtle differences…which is why having a set of both could be perfect for you!
