Light Pattern Recommendation

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about adding a SSO hybrid front bumper to the truck to give me a spot for a winch and add some protection. I figure it can't hurt to add the light bar cutout also, but it might look a bit odd to have 2 light bars so maybe I go without one.

Question is, if I add the light cutout, which light beam pattern should I go with? I currently have:

2 Squadron Pros on A pillars - Wide Cornering Amber
2 Squadron Sport Fog Lights - Wide Cornering Amber
1 30" S8 Bar - Driving Combo Amber
Future Additions Anticipated - 40" S8 on the roof with a spot pattern (also amber)



This currently gives pretty awesome coverage all over, and I can't really decide on what would be the best pattern to add to the metal bumper. Maybe Spot pattern? Or would another Driving/Combo really light up the scene and make more sense, since the spot pattern will be covered when I get a roof rack and mount another bar up there?

I get this is kind of a ridiculous problem to have, but I'm really unsure what pattern would be the best addition for the 2nd front bumper light bar. I could go without a light bar here altogether, but the bumpers look better with the light bars I think.

@Baja Designs what say you? Would I get any real benefit from adding a second driving/combo light bar (say adding a 20" S8 driving pattern to the 30" S8 driving pattern I already have) or should I go with something different like Spot or Wide Cornering? Maybe go with clear lenses instead of amber? Any input is appreciated and I apologize in advance for having such a "1st world problem", but I don't know of a better place for advice.

 

Hey @NJOffRoad,

Adding an additional 20inch S8 will only give you an option for less light when needed. If you are planning on running the 30inch and the 20inch at the same time you will get the same distance out for each size but your left-to-right spread will be much greater with the 30inch. One option if you are looking into adding in an additional 20inch light bar would be the ONX6+. This will be more powerful and you will get more distance out of this if you were looking to run it with the 30inch as well. for the lens pattern, you could pair the S8 20inch in an amber-wide cornering to get more nearsighted light since you won't gain distance while utilizing the 30inch S8. If you do the ONX6+ I would use a spot lens pattern.

@Baja Designs I appreciate you giving me some feedback. Question... Do you make either light bar, S8 or Onx6, in amber with a spot pattern? Can't seem to find that, only clear lenses. I know you do the squadrons in spot & amber configuration, so I thought you would for the bars too.

 

Hey @NJOffRoad, We unfortunately don't have an amber spot lens pattern as of now. The only way to achieve this will be to use and amber rock guard over the clear spot light bar.
Best,
Brandon
