Camp lights on bedrack, what's your setup?

[ReigleCM]

We are looking to add some camping flood lights to our bed rack, thinking of this kit from KC. Does anyone have a similar setup? Is anyone running chase lights that can switch between beam patterns to easily switch to some camp lighting?

I think Jack ( @OFC Ranger ) has bed rack lights with variable settings that might work. If you check out his Showcase, you might see them. It links from his profile.

You don't need to spend $185.00 on a pair of camp flood lights...

Granted my setup is is going to differ from yours, I have 12 of these for $150. They provide full perimeter lighting. They can be angled down as needed.

Had them nearly a year with zero issues. Every few months I put a coating of graphene on the lenses to reduce UV yellowing damage.

DIY...my chase light bar in normal mode functions as brake-turn tied to tail lamps...they're not used as area light as they can't compete with the other lights... ?

I've been trying to find good lights that won't kill me on cost. I like the flush mount style and would build/design/3D print a bracket to angle it towards the ground, but $60 a light is too rich for my blood. I need 4 to get the coverage I want.

These might actually work, if I can figure out how to angle them down, as my mounting surface is vertical.

Using something like these.

Here's my setup. I just bought random 42'' LED light bars (single row) from Amazon - one for each side, and mounted them between the towers - they're secured but loose enough that I can rotate them. I still haven't actually used them along with the paddles to know if I need to relocate the paddles out of the way, but I plan on doing that anyways this winter. I also have small pods in the back that double as reverse lights as well.

I was originally going to flush mount on my panels, but that would involve a whole lot of metal cutting and basically kill the idea that the panels allowed for modularity in possible upgrades in future.

The lights I linked were the flastest, not flush, adjustable design I could find.

Nilight has come a long way since they first appeared on Amazon. These particular lights have been rock solid and they feel that way too. You'll see once you hold one in your hand.
