[AT] led lights

[charlie hill]

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.
