I'll get a set ordered up and see how they work out.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
I'll have a look at my brackets today ... see how they've fared the last two plus years .... got a load more sat, for some side and rear illumination .... when I get around to fitting them

I'm going to replace the lights on the dipper of my 3CX with LED's, I'm also thinking about a couple on top of the jack legs. Would they all be ok on the same switch? Not really clued up on electrics.

No probs, the LED lights take a fraction of the Wattage of the old halogen bulbs.

That's what I was thinking. Next question, what wattage LED's should I get? Was looking at 27W

as Mike says no prob.s .... Watts = volts x amps ..... so a 60 watt halogen consumes 5 amps at 12 volts .... those halogens I use are 16 LEDs x 3w each so 48watts per unit, so 4 amps each, at 12 volts
..... 2 amps at 24 volts

So I should be fine replacing 2 at 55 watts with 4 at 27watts?as Mike says no prob.s .... Watts = volts x amps ..... so a 60 watt halogen consumes 5 amps at 12 volts .... those halogens I use are 16 LEDs x 3w each so 48watts per unit, so 4 amps each, at 12 volts

not tried 27s .... but the 48s I've bought are like daylight Jimbo .... go back to post #8 in this thread for some more pix
this was in pitch dark .. like "the black hole of Calcutta" here when the light goes out

I would certainly go for it.

I'll go order some now. Only problem I can see having is the rest of the lights will be crap in comparison.

Actually, being the chancer that I am I would go for the 4 at 48 WattsI would certainly go for it.

It's actually not a big deal sticking in a rely and running out a couple of new wires for some extra brightness. A clever chap such as yourself would easy handle it. Or if you have a super sparkie in the family that is due you a favor then even better

yeh, absolutely ... give the light switches an easier life all round .... wouldn't surprise me if they aren't already on relay-ed circuits ... How old is the machine JmboIt's actually not a big deal sticking in a rely and running out a couple of new wires for some extra brightness. A clever chap such as yourself would easy handle it.

2013 machine, think I'll stick to the 27 watt lights. I'll still have the 4 on top of the cab which can be replaced with LED's too if need be.
