Tractor spot lights / work lights.... go for LED??

Swinny, go to “Oldfield” electrical at skipton or at link59 in clitheroe, they’ll get you what ya need and it’ll be proper, no ebay rip offs as stated above.

Another thing I forgot to say, some LED lights give off really bad "noise" - FM radio interference. Think it's possibly the driver not the actual LEDs.

Adding ferrite coils helps slightly

Ahh! That makes sense.

happens in my tractor but never knew why

Bought some LED worklights off ebay this week, they came in the post today.

 

 

Advertised as 27w

 

On the multimeter they're actually just 12.6w!

 

 

 

 

Cheap though

I have 300w of LED lighting on my forwarder. I can safely work in complete darkness with the machine.

 

Only issue last night was the dense fog which shrouded the hill - it was like having full beams on when driving the van!

would,nt it be easier if you turned the lights on,,??

I added one to the back of my new style Ranger. A lot of vehicles have one light only so the other side is in the dark usually, which can make reversing a trailer slightly hard work! I wired it into the bulb and not the trailer light socket which was easier and nearer. If it goes to the trailer plug, any reversing sensors will not function!
