How is it with the plug in? Is the light bright enough?at night
Are you asking about how it works with the cig socket? It would be fine to just plug it in and leave it, but since that plug is independent of the ignition switch, and do not want to change that. I decided to plug a tree socket adapter in with a on and off switch for three reasons. First the plug for the light has a power diode that glows, and I do not want any unnecessary power draw, second I want to preserve the socket from breaking by just leaving something plugged in all the time that does not draw any power. Finally my third reason is I want to power other things while the light is working. As far as the brightness goes I think is just right, the only small thing is because of where it is mounted the very back part is slightly darker than the rest, but if you pull the window down maybe two inches it fills that part with light. So far I am pretty happy with it, if I continue mto like I might find a way to hard wire it.How is it with the plug in? Is the light bright enough?
There are 2 lights in this module (both the same luminosity), and one focuses on the cargo area and the other on the ground. The entire cargo area is very well lit with this setup.It just does not look like it will illuminate well the inside unless you pull the back glass down. The light itself look super bright but I think hardwired would be better solution than the DC outlet. Will order and see how it does.
Thanks for the information It was very helpful
Glad to hear you are happy with the light! Photos looks great, thanks for sharingAfter installing I can say Im pretty happy with the lights. The first picture is just the cab light on, second & third show the Oracle light. It would be nice to hardwire it.
Thank You all for the information on this light.
We didn't offer the hardwire option because its beyond some DIY capabilities and because it makes it harder to remove the hard top. Great suggestion on the quick disconnects though!Installed, works like a charm. However, the cigarette adapter has to go. It sticks out, just asking to be broken, or even worse, to break the port.
Of course if you're going to hard wire it, you need to do it in a way that supports removal of the hard top. Easily done with one of these...

Im also disappointed by the accessory cig plug. For one, its no longer there. I put a dual USP port in its place. Im going to tap in to the rear dome light. I was thinking ill use the accessory socket I removed and wire it to the dome and hide the connection in the wheel well trim.Installed, works like a charm. However, the cigarette adapter has to go.

If you plan to take your top off, might want to use waterproof couplers, they're very cheap and work great.Im also disappointed by the accessory cig plug. For one, its no longer there.

My top doesn't come off. Its the Sky Top. But thanks for the tip. I always appreciate tips!If you plan to take your top off, might want to use waterproof couplers, they're very cheap and work great.
