    Justin, those look like the KC Daylighter product. Do you recall if this is correct?
    ORW rocks!

    The blue lights are specified by Best in the Desert for the slower moving classes. All have to have the rear facing amber, slower cars also need the blue so that the faster classes don't rear-end them accidentally.
    I used to swerve around my hallucinations, now I drive right through them.

    I opted for the LightForce Stubby light as opposed to the Matador. Its a 30 watt sealed beam.

The great thing about an LED work Lamp is the power requirements are low and the light output high. The Matador is 55 W I believe which requires a lot of power, heavy duty cables, and in some situations a relay.

    As soon as I have more information available I'll let you know.

    We just got the LED work light today. Mario said it's really bright and he measured the draw at 3.5 Watts, that is really low. The Matador pulls 55 Watts. No need for special wiring, relays and other paraphernalia.

    We should be able to wire it for a trailer to be run as a work light and a reverse light. It would also be a great work and all purpose light for any vehicle.

    We will run an Expedition Portal Special Buy. I should be getting all the technical data and pictures from Mario tomorrow. I will post a thread in the For Sale: Expedition Equipment section, I’ll have the details of how to order there.

    Right now it looks like the "Portal" price will be $75.00 and we will need a minimum group order of 12 to make this fly.

    No. we could only get the ones made out of gummy worms and old shoe leather.

    The first impressions were good. I'll have pictures and details in the morning.
