[AT] led lights

[Easley, Greg]

The only question is how will they hold up over time?  At $15 apiece if they last five years they will have turned out to be a bargain.

That consideration aside, when the snow comes I won't have to wait for daybreak to start clearing my lane.  ;-)

Greg,  I just added them to my Amazon wish list.  Thanks.
After Christmas when I have some time I'll figure out how many I need for what and what I need to go with them and order some.

Charlie Hill

Merry Christmas everyone!

Glad they are working our for you. I had to cut a little milo after dark last night and tonight, I don't regret any at all upgrading my lighting. Its still on my to-do list of figuring out how to get LEDS in some stock housings on a couple of our tractors. I haven't looked, but I wonder if anyone is making them for older cars as well. After driving the combine with the LED's, those old sealed beams in the grain truck are like 6 volt sealed beams on low!

I put a set of these on my loader tractor over the weekend.

They make a lot of light for very little money.

I kept an email from Dick Day regarding some lights he had found pretty reasonable that looked good.

They are not a replacement for your current sealed beams (I'd be curious if you found something and the price etc). As others have said, it's not a 1 to
1 in comparison using wattage. Finding the lumens rating to compare incandescent bulbs to LED might be challenging.

As a side note, I picked up some 10w 12v flood LED lights<http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-Flood-light-10W-Warm-White-Outdoor-Wash-Lamp-Floodlight-Waterproof-Grey-Case-/281429748297?pt=US_Light_Bulbs&hash=item4186852a49>
I mounted them on my wood shed out in the timber. I can haul a car battery and leave it there so I have light anytime I need to load up some firewood in the middle of the winter at night. I took my test meter and measured the draw. That 10w floodlight which will light up a pretty good area only pulls as much as a single tail light bulb in your truck (I used the tail circuit in a 1157 bulb). So I wouldn't be worried about overloading the electrical circuit on that old equipment.

About a year ago I posted regarding putting LED lights onto old equipment. I figured by now I'd be able to find low cost LED sealed beams to fit into existing lights but the only ones I have found so far are made by Grote at
$140 ea. I think I found some for $70 but haven't been able to locate them again. I did order some complete 18W LED light assemblies pretty cheap. I replaced one on each side of the combine and its like I added 3 on each side, an absolutely amazing difference! I wanted to stay with the same wattage as the originals so I didn't place any additional burden on a 40 year old electrical system.
I plan on getting a couple more to go on the back of the 4020. I want a pair for the front too but would like to find something reasonably priced to interchange in the existing light housings.

If you run your older equipment at night, this is an upgrade I highly recommend.
