Auxbeam2 Pcs LED Light Bars 4 inch LED Pods 18W Driving Light Spot Beam for Jeep, ATV, UTV, Truck, Offroad Vehicle (Without Wiring Harness)

After years of watching my son adding lights to his truck and surprised at the cost, I find myself in need of a pair of lights for my motorcycle. I began my search at the places my son bought his WOW. The prices are all over the place. Most are in the $100 range. Then, I decide to check out AMAZON and find AUXBEAM. I had to check twice because I thought the price to be for each light it was so low. I read the reviews, checked the specs and decided to try them. First off, with Prime I got them the next day. They were nicely packed in foam protectors. Unpacking them, I'm immediately impressed by how heavy duty they are. With a beefy heat sink, nice powder coat finish and heavy guage wire leads. They looked better than my son's $80 ditch lights. The only problem with these lights and I'm not sure if it's an issue with all lights off this kind or not, so I still gave the lights 5 stars, is the mounting bracket. They seem to be pretty thin guage and are easily 'bent' off center during the mounting process. It seemed like every time I tightened a bolt, I had to be careful not to bend the light off center. I mention it because it's kind of irritating but once the lights were turned on, I quickly forgot about the mounting issue. These are bright, well focused lights with a powerful beam. They are brighter than lights costing 4 times as much. I've already bought another pair and plan on buying more. I have no problem recommending them.

I installed these on a 2015 Ford SuperDuty activated by the factory up-fitter switches. I purchased the pair of spot and flood beams with the intention of using the spot pod light attached to a ditch bracket facing forward and the flood pod lights attached to the rear bumper (actually just behind the rear bumper). I had these for a little while before installing. While waiting for installation, I took another reviewers advice and purchased some Versachem 75009 Flowable Windshield Silicone from Amazon. I applied this around the front of the lights for a little added weatherproofing. These are great looking in appearance and seem of good quality. I finally got around to installing these a few days ago and haven't had any time to test them out at night, but they do work. During the daytime, while in the garage, they are brighter than the "brights" on my truck. Not that it matters for this review, but I flip flopped the spot and flood lights. The spot pods are attached to the rear bumper and the floods are facing forward. Oopsie, I will get around to switching them around sometime. We haven't really received much rain to see if any moisture creeps in past the lens.If I have any significant issues, I will update my review. In the meantime, for the price these are a recommend from me.

I bought a pair for my motorcycle so this is my thoughts:PROS* Case looks solid, it is not a faux chinese-cheap made lights* I use it in a couple of heavy rainstorm, no issues, I mean no leaks or condensation inside the glass.* Low voltage use, I can use it in my bike all day long without any issues about battery drain.* Easy to install, comes with all the hardware needed to install* I got the Spot ones, so in the night picture you can see how focus the beam is, and it is only one lightCONS* Cables are kind of small* I just bought 1 pair, I need another for my car now :)Bottom line, if you are looking for the best price-functionaly-durability lights, this is the best deal that you can get.

For the price, these lights are a good value, and they do appear to be well constructed, but their performance is not as advertised. They claim to be “18 watts” but the LED's are only driven at about 10 watts (see below analysis.) Overall I do recommend these lights as they are relatively bright and significantly more efficient compared to similar halogen lights.Here are my measurements for incoming power at various input voltages:VDC in, Watts in11.2, 16.1 (TB99 is at 100% duty cycle)12.5, 12.113.8, 12.114.4, 12.0Since the incoming power is only about 12 watts, and their TB99 based power supply is only about 85% efficient, the actual power delivered to the LED’s only 10.2 watts.Another observation is that the TB99 based power supply is not all that stable regarding current regulation over the 12v operating voltage range (10.5v – 15v.) As I varied the power supply voltage over this range, the brightness of the LED’s notably flickered.I modified my lights to be a bit brighter by lowering the current sense resistor value by putting a 0.5ohm resistor in parallel with the one already on the PCB. Here are my measurements after this mod:VDC in, Watts in11.5, 20.111.8, 23.2 (TB99 is at 100% duty cycle)12.5, 16.413.8, 14.914.4, 14.6As you can see, the current regulation of the power supply is much worse, and at certain low input voltages the LED’s are most definitely being overdriven. At normal operating voltages, the lights still are not anywhere near their rated “18 watts.” I decided to keep my lights modified like this, knowing that I may be shortening their life if operated at low battery voltages. My application is for pontoon boat headlights, so their use will be intermittent at best with no more than 5 hours of use per year. I don’t recommend this mode if you will be using the lights for long periods and want them to last.One final comment. I looked on CREE's website to see if I could find LED's that look like the ones used in these lights. I found some similar ones, but none that were an exact match. I suspect the LED's used in these lights are not made by CREE. I do not have the means to test their lumen output to quantify their brightness, but I suspect it is below their specified range, especially since the LED's are not being driven at their full 18 watt rating.
