Auxiliary LED Lights: What Are The Best Mounting Positions
The clear display position you will come across is the front part of your vehicle. Yet, there’s more to Auxiliary LED driving lights than that. The versatility and flexibility of the product make it even more enjoyable.
If you are worried about what are the best mounting positions for Auxiliary LED lights. Don’t worry, we’ll help you figure it out.
There are a few questions you need to answer if you want to find the best position:
- The vehicle you own?
- Driving type?
- Available display positions?
- Is extra illumination required?
- Will restrictions and regulations affect the placements or the lights?
Let’s look at the variables and try to figure out the best choice for the placements. We will not go deep through the specifics of every LED light. But each of their characteristics aims at specific uses. So, let’s focus on the mounting placements.
The light distribution angle differs when the lights are mounted below (closer towards the road surface).
Also, it’s a risk when too much light is directed and shadows fall upon uneven roads.
That’s considered preferable when a customized light bar is placed higher up on a vehicle.
More comprehensive range light emission would benefit the slow-spaced and off-road trucks. A fast space in speed would expect a light emission to a certain distance possible.
Moreover, to visualize the side tracks, the choice may differ, such as
- Multiple bonnet lights.
- Differently angled light. ( slight changes)
- Rally-pods.
The Roof Placement
People prefer placing LED lights at the top of their vehicles. It captures across the whole length of the roof (sunshade). This covers a wide range of light emission patterns.
Considering other manufacturers’ top-mounted LED light bars, the old-fashioned single-bulb at the middle is observed. It emits precisely less light than the LEDs we offer. The less expensive light bars.
The front-facing LEDs output the light in all directions. Such as the roof, bonnet, etc. so, the light output gets wasted, creating an unnecessary glare.
The customized Linear and dual row category (engineered reflectors) the rear-faced LED light bars in our store create light towards the needed target. They don’t create unnecessary glare on the vehicle’s body.
Also, in the customized slim single row evolution category, front-faced LEDs have a feature — the ultra-reflective vacuum-metalized reflectors. And it’s used to gain the maximum light emission towards the most needed position on the track.
Moreover, another concern is enhanced wind noise. We could worry less in the Linear range. It maintains its profile low ( 41mm), aerodynamic. It is favorable for cautious installations, streamlined, and less wind noise.
So, the sole reason to customize the dual row range is to exclude the wind noise. Let’s take a look at a few more options under roof mounting LED Lightbars.
Do You Prefer Roof Rails Or Not
Almost all types of vehicles exist with the choice of fixing the roof rails. Generally, certain manufacturers fix it through the vehicle’s roof gutter. But it’s much more secure when they clip it through the vehicle’s bodywork.
Anyway, as far as you include the roof rails, a ready-made mounting point is presented for the LED Lightbar. More precautions are offered for the customized specific model. It is based on the year of manufacture (even if there are no roof rails).
The length would be shorter than a unit placed on the roof channels within the roof rails. Even if it is a quality LED light bar.
Check out our offers for ready-made suggestions or contact us for inquiries. The available LED kits we offer contain all the needed equipment.
The driving lights attached to a temporary roof bar ( Thule production) are also preferred. These don’t offer long-term or permanent solutions.
So you have to consider the brand you select. If you want to get rid of the roof bars, you must be mindful of the wiring. Ensure allowances to the wiring, connect and reconnect the light.
The Roofrack Mounts Placement
Roof racks in vans, SUVs, and 4x4s are significantly constructed. It could be a Brownchurch-style box-section Roof Rack mounted on a Defender, Land Rover. Or a modern aero-style mounted on the latest model SUV.
The preferences on where placements should be will differ from person to person. The lights are mounted along with the brackets above, below, or end.
The customized dual row and single row category of LED Lights give you various options with their flexibility feature. This works on any of the favorable positions. Along with the lights as underslung, mounted above, or underslung.
Our customized kit will be issued with instructions and wirings. You will need options to shop around so that you can find the best-suited option for your vehicle. It should be according to the wiring postures and the place of entry in the vehicle.
The Roll Bar Mounts Placement
Sports bars, Roll-Cages, and external bars as mounted to some 4x4s and pickups are best-suited for placing LED lights. Our tube clumps come in 3 sizes, 76mm, 42mm, and 60mm. This is the sports bar’s or roll cage tube’s diameter.
You have to determine the ideal wiring system for your vehicle. Like the mounting option for Roof Rack.
Also, many sports bars are located at the rear of the cab. So choosing an LED light bar with a beam pattern that will not glare from the roof or bonnet of your truck will be an important consideration.
The halo range of LED light bars from New Vision has been engineered with a beam pattern. These are with a lower up/down spread of light. So they become suitable for this purpose.
OEM Grille Integration
The major outstanding feature of our lamps is the Grille Integration Kit. It provides unique options targetting those who own vehicles with LED driving lights requirements. It gains the benefits of high power and consists of a diplomatic OME-Style ending.
A vast amount of vehicle owners purchase Grille Integration Kits. Permissible towards the fitment of LED lights in between the existing grille of any vehicle.
Every year our manufacturers tend to customize for all possible models, with all the supplies needed to fix the LED lights and the grille.
Also, other equipment such as instructions, wiring, cutting instructions, and the allocated LED lights you purchased.
Even though our manufacturer has reached a mass of products, we still progress to develop new inventions for models.
As these gain legacy in the road and provide the instructions without the need of brackets, bars, additional modification, etc.
Behind The Grille Mount Placement
Most of us worry about the drilling made on the vehicle’s framework; therefore, we offer a universal placement solution that is flexible and discreet.
That permits the fitment of the LED lights to any vehicle model. It provides no custom OEM-style integration but a simple approach as you can install more new lights in the future, even shift it to another vehicle.
So at the rear of the grille, the placement of the LED driving light gets mounted on the bumper beam or the crash bar. According to the space available, you can choose the lights as the fitment is adaptable.
Our low-profile and aerodynamic design lets the lights fit within spaces, unlike other lamps. Linear light mounted in the grille’s front will also be subtle and discreet. It’ll be visible only when switched on.
The Numberplate Mount Placement
We could conclude this as the easiest fitment and the preferable placement out of all the placements. This allows the use of single lights as well as in pairs too.
They contain aluminum brackets and stainless steel fixings, a pair of powder-coated. (mounted behind the present number plate bolts)
According to the demonstration, if you only use the number plate brackets, the selection of LED lights is unlimited.
Our largest customized 20″ LED light bar weighs about 2 kg as the max load refers to 5kg. Yet we would not compel our customers to purchase when LED lights are unlimited as per demonstration.
Is Load Bed Lighting An Option
For instances such as recovery vehicles or utility, the drivers should gain more light sources because the illumination of night light would not be sufficient. Therefore we would suggest a Utility range of lights rather than the front-faced lights.
If you are wondering how far this would emit the source of light. Illumination to the space of a football pitch with one utility light is enough, yeah?
We’re talking about that size. Our manufacturer is compact in the model yet powerful in emission. The range of utility is 45, 25, and 80.
Not just for the vehicle’s proximity, but it gives an amount of 1 lux (usage) to emit 75 meters. And across the platform, it covers around 40 meters or more.
The utility range is the most favorable choice compared to the street lights. Along with their flexibility feature progressed by the mounting brackets, they can be placed on any surface and at whichever angle is preferred.
A ‘Flood ‘version of the light bar is being offered along with the compact Utility. Compared to the standard light, this consists of the same aerodynamic form factor.
Moreover, a manufactured reflector model creates a floodlight beam towards the rear or side of the truck or any agricultural machinery.
Position Lights Placements
Position lights do not specifically have a mounted point variable. Yet it has advantages to use since it has a high-performance LED Light placed at the position sidelight function or position maker.
Even when the vehicle’s headlights are switched off, these lights are sufficient. They target a stationary transport similar to a vehicle’s sidelights in appearance.
According to the preferences, we can purchase either amber or white lights.
So here we are coming to an end, and we hope you could grasp much knowledge on the LED Lighting placement progression.
Furthermore, it should have convinced you that the selective light or its placements are not the only decision, and myriad options are given.
So, please contact us for further inquiries under this guidance with no hesitation.
Keep learning, and drive safe.
