I addition to the 2X2 LED's I have been working on a 10W single LED pod that provides 950 lumens per pod. These are fabulous for camping lights (roof rack mounted), reverse lights (roof rack or bumper) and rock lights (under body). They are a full aluminum housing, tempered glass lens, and water proof/dust proof. I have them on the rear of my roof rack and love them for night time arrivals to camp, or reversing on the trails. I have ran them for 4 months and still going strong.

Specs:
(1) 10W Cree LED
Current Draw : 1A @ 12V, 0.5A @ 24V
Aluminum Housing
Stainless Steel Brackets/Hardware

Dimensions:
120MM Tall (mounting hardware attached)
66MM Tall (body only)
66mm wide
65mm deep.


$85 Shipped CONUS. Please PM me for payment information.

Went to the ONSC ride this past weekend, when night fell the flash lights and camp fire wasn't enough. I decided to run them for a short time, which ended up being several hours.

Any chance you could put some cheaper 3w or 5w LEDs in those housings and offer them at a lower price?

I'll see what I can do. PM me if you would like a pair. I'll work something out with you
 
For those with very little space. These are able to be mounted underneath the racks eater than ontop. You may bolt them to each-other (bracket shown on far left unit) to create a light bar. I am working on a adapter/harness to allow you to make them 100% module depending on trip needs. If you are camping you can move them up to the roof rack. If you are doing more night time driving you can move them to the front bumper. Harness/Adapters are about a month out.

8* Spot beam
30* Flood.
950lms


Price TBD.

Very helpful to see them side-by-side. I thought the quads were 4x the singles.

I want quad floods where the four LEDs are pointing in different directions by 15 degrees or so.

The 2X2's are 16W (4W per LED), whereas the singles are 10W each. If you mount 4 in a square and (doable, I will do it later tonight and post) you will end up with 40W/3,800 lumens. I will take measurements tonight.

Good experiment, but I don't need them bright like that. I want ultra-wide camp and trail flood lights and cheap as hell. If there are some knock-off 3w 2nd batch LEDs that are half the price because they're not super white or whatever, that would be perfect.

It seems to me that pointing them all the same direction defeats the purpose of a flood. I want the 30 degree flood beams divergent by an additional 15-20 degrees.

I'll probably get around to making my own during the winter if someone doesn't do it first. :hint: I'd probably do 2x2's for the side and 2x3's for the corners and use a total of six plus one 2x3 mounted in the dome light position on the roll bar facing down. They really need to be able to be dimmable too, but that's another problem. If I do it myself I'll put the drivers all in one place and run them all off of one little micro and a remote control.

PM sent. I will work on something that can be dimmed. The LED Light bars are currently the next in-line. Version 2, 30" came in today, Version 1 single row is also in.
 
Those are some damn sexy dudes you are hanging out with.... just sayin.
 
You speak about making a harness for them, I was toying with the idea of unplugging my lite and then plugging it into my camp lighting on my rack, this way I was using one harness.

Also thinking about brackets that attach to the trim locations along the windshields on the 100 series and utilizing that space under the edge of the seal to run the harness up.

Little update:

I am no longer using the ones that are in the original post. I am discontinuing them for a smaller, sleeker design that has better output and efficiency of the reflector.

Please ignore the rusty roof rack, I haven't had time to remove the rack and mounts and powder coat them. The previous versions had a 6K color temperature, that was not exactly what I wanted. That said, I have managed to get the color temp around 5K, which is a pure white. I am still trying to get it under 5K though...

I could not get my camera to cooperate, so I can't exactly post any pictures of the true output, but to put it simply. The output is somewhere between those two pictures below. I will try again in the next few days.

I am still working on a harness for these, I am going to make it to where you have two plugs. One will secure to the front of the rack, if you want to assemble them in a row to form a single row light bar to suit night driving in the desert, or if you are at a camp site or your trip involves more slower paced technical trails, you can string them like christmas lights around the rack. I have yet to get to the christmas light harness, making one that is sleek, minimal yet suitable for all racks is proving harder than I thought. I don't mind wiring, but I do mind a birds nest. So for now the harnesses are in the works, but no ETA on when they will be available.
 
The more I think about this I like the idea of one main harness coming off the battery to my 40" LED bar and a splitter that plugs into the harness and then back into the bar giving me an extra plug for my camp lights along the rack seen here www.labrak.com just thinking about powering them. Either a switch the kills the power to the light bar or another switch under my awning for these lights.
