Tired of driving in the dark? With us, you’ll find auxiliary lights for all occasions and preferences. Choosing the right auxiliary lights can be challenging, with many factors to consider. Should you go for round auxiliary lights or a light bar? How powerful can your auxiliary lights be, and what are the differences between various light patterns? Read on to get answers to your questions.
1. WHY ARE AUXILIARY LIGHTS IMPORTANT?
The only correct answer here is: to see and to be seen. It is incredibly important to see properly to avoid accidents on the road. There are many obstacles on the road that you need to be aware of. One of the most common accidents is wildlife collisions. By having really good auxiliary lights, you can spot wildlife on the road early.
2. WHICH AUXILIARY LIGHTS ARE THE BEST?
Which auxiliary lights are the best is a matter of taste and also depends on the use case. Our tip is to start by identifying your use case and how you want the light to behave. Do you need an extra light with a long range, or do you need more intensely focused light on a specific area? We have products that suit all use cases when you need to buy auxiliary lights for your car. If you need lights for your boat, we recommend searchlights and spotlights from Moory.
3. HOW POWERFUL CAN MY AUXILIARY LIGHTS BE?
Perhaps you’ve heard of the term reference number in connection with lighting? The reference number is a value given to auxiliary and high beams, and the sum of these values must not exceed 100 according to ECE regulations. The higher the value, the stronger the light. On all E-approved lights, the reference value is indicated on the light’s glass.
4. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VARIOUS LIGHT PATTERNS ON AUXILIARY LIGHTS OR LIGHT BARS?
The most common light patterns on round auxiliary lights are Spot, Flood, and Combo. With the Spot light pattern – also known as pencil – the light beam is centered far and straight ahead. Flood does not extend as far forward, but the light instead spreads out to each side, providing a wider light field focused closer to the vehicle. Combo or Driving Beam, as the name suggests, is a combination of spot and flood where the beam is longest in the middle and wider on the sides. Often, three or more round auxiliary lights are mounted on the vehicle, and it is common to choose a spot light in the middle and two flood lights on each side.
5. DO I NEED A WARNING LIGHT BAR?
Do you need to be more visible? Then you’ve come to the right place, because here you will definitely find a warning light bar that suits you and grabs attention. You can choose from many sizes and strengths depending on the use case. We offer high-quality light bars from brands like 911 Signal, BriodLights, and ECCO.
6. ROTATING WARNING LIGHTS – ON A CAR, TRUCK, OR TRANSPORT VEHICLE
On a worksite, it is important to be visible for many different reasons. With the help of a rotating warning light on your car, truck, or van, you can make the surroundings more aware of what is happening. We offer high-quality LED and Xenon warning lights in several different flash patterns.
7. AUXILIARY LIGHT PACKAGES
We not only offer individual light bars but also complete solutions in the form of auxiliary light packages. The installation package includes auxiliary light brackets, auxiliary light relay, screws, and cables tailored to the model.
