Nowadays, LED bars are used for many different applications. They are used, for example, in rally/off-road sports (4×4 cars), on trucks, and in the agricultural sector.
Good visibility is essential when working in the agricultural sector. But not only agricultural machines are in use at dusk or at night. Off-road vehicles also need appropriate lighting in the dark. LED bars are very well suited for this purpose as they are bright and efficient. Despite their compact design, light-emitting diodes, as used in an LED bar, are very powerful.
These LEDs enable a combination of widely scattered light and far-reaching light. This ensures that you can see, for example, a deer at the roadside much earlier. And not only that, but the group of deer crossing the road 500 meters ahead of you is also immediately noticeable. Normally, LED bars have a light distribution of 40/60. This means 40% of the light radiates widely and 60% radiates far. However, this can vary between different brands of LED bars.
LED bars are used not only on cars, trucks, or tractors, but they are also gaining more and more popularity in hobby, off-road, and maritime sectors. LED bars are a simple solution to generate a lot of light.
Vision-Q and Northernlight
AgrarLED.de offers LED bars from different brands that are tailored to the individual needs of customers. The range extends from LED bars with standard housings to higher-quality LED bars from the brands Vision-Q and Northernlight. Vision-Q LED bars are characterized by their modern appearance, high-quality material processing, and an E-marking.
Northernlight LED bars are known for the enormous amount of light they produce and their robust construction. They are equipped with Osram lighting technology. The light coming from the Osram LED chips is directed through a specially shaped lens instead of mirrors. Using this lens results in less light loss. This achieves an even distribution of light and little scatter. The heavy robust aluminum housing is also equipped with a special stainless steel valve that prevents condensation. This valve allows the LED bar to breathe but keeps moisture away.
LED Bars on Cranes or Dozers
A frequently asked question is whether an LED bar can also be used on a dozer or crane. A lot of light in a compact and small environment is very useful, but you have to consider that 60% of the LEDs shine far. This creates spotlighting of the object. If the light is unevenly distributed, the height can be very difficult to estimate, so the LED bar impairs the quality of work. For the tasks performed with a dozer or crane, it is therefore recommended to use different work lights with a large beam angle so that the large area is illuminated as evenly as possible.
Buying an LED Bar
Think about where you want to mount the LED bar before purchasing it. Use a tape measure to determine which LED bar size best fits your vehicle. It should be noted that the longest LED bars produce the most light but are not always easy to attach to every vehicle.
We see that the trend toward using LED bars is steadily increasing. If you also need an LED bar or if you are still finding it difficult to find the right LED bar for your vehicle, please contact us. Our customer service at AgrarLED.de will be happy to help you!
