What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Damn it, I was gonna ask!

Since nobody answered, 24mph (hehe, just googled it even though i know the quote)

What have I got in my pocket?

I would have went with "Chaaaapsstiiiick."

I am using a pair of Squandron Sport wide cornering on A-pillar. I want to replace my XX brand driving lights on the bumper with something brighter without breaking the bank. I am considering a pair of LP4 or 2 pairs of Squandron Pro in Spot and Combo. Which setup would provide more coverage? What do you recommend?

The LP4s will be the better options here when comparing lighting coverage. These lights have 8,857 lumens per light and with the added reflector size and IPT LEDs you will gain in coverage drastically over the Squadron Pros lights. Another cool feature that these lights offer is the amber backlight that can be tied into running lights or a switch to illuminate the inside of the light while driving around town. Running the LP4s will also limit the space being used on the bumper allowing further upgrades if needed.

Looking to install the LOD Destroyer rear bumper and add the squadron sport flush mount lights. Not sure which lighting pattern to get. I am assuming that the work/scene would be best? Or is there another light patterns for the back bumper that would work better?

Hey @RUBIjm54,

The Work/Scene lens pattern is a very dispersed working light and will only project light about 40ft. This lens pattern is not recommended to be driven off or which is why all of our reverse kits we sell feature the wide corner lens. I would recommend to you the wide corner lens as this will project the light much further and offer a 42-degree flat horizontal cutoff. This in my opinion is the best lens pattern for a reverse application. For more information about our lens patterns and zones visit the link below.

Thank you for that information! I'll go that route instead!

How does the anti-theft bolts work?
It looks they only secure the sides? What about the bolt on the bumper?

Are you able to clarify?
Thanks

 

[BajaDesigns]

Are you able to clarify?
Thanks

The anti-theft bolts are offered in two variants. The housing bolts that feature a specific head type and a locking nut that will secure the mount to the vehicle. Below are the two links to these products. The bolts that secure the light to the mount have a dual pin type head allowing for only a user with the correct socket to loosen this bolt. The tamperproof nut is a cone shape that doesn't allow a tool to latch on and loosen the nut.

How are your lumens measured? Raw LED lumens, basically assuming a 100% transmission through the optics? Or out the front, what you would get when putting the fully built light into a integrating sphere?

Do your lights have any kind of thermal protection to prevent the light from cooking itself to death? Like if I accidentally left them on while slow speed rock crawling in the sun in Las Vegas in the middle of summer?

Do you have any candela/candlepower measurements for the OnX6+ 20 inch with the spot vs wide cornering lens? I would like to know how less far the wide cornering lens throws a beam.

Raw lumens will be the measurement from the LED Chip and measured lumens will be what it is through

• If it does not specify, it’s raw.
• We have active thermal management on all products that do not have “sport” in the name. i.e. Pro, Racer, etc.
• I don’t have that specific info, but a full wide cornering lens will typically drop the distance to 1/3 of the spot lens, do to the increased width and near/mid field illumination.

Why don't you publish the lumens pit out by factory equipment?

Hey @LooselyHeldPlans, The Industry Standard is measured in raw lumens which is why they are measured this way. If you head over to our ELS page this will give you an accurate measurement of usable light with equipment factored in.

@BajaDesigns I love all of the functionality of your LP6, I am just struggling on how to incorporate it all into either factory or aftermarket aux switch systems.

With you guys acquiring SPOD, is there a plan to directly incorporate the functionality into that system in a cleaner way? For example, one switch on the SPOD has 3 settings: 1) Amber DRL 2) Low power mode 3) high power mode. Or, for reverse lights, a SPDT type where setting 1) On 2) Trigger on Reverse.

Seems one of the other switch manufactures has a SPDT type setup but it takes two of their buttons.

Excited to see what you guys come up with when you put the brains of the two companies together

Hey @Wild American Off-Road, At this time we don't have any plans to incorporate a 1-3 way switch on the sPOD units. Most folks when using the LP series will hook up the high beam only and use the integrated dimmer feature on the sPOD, to free up that low beam switch.

Actually this is similar to a question I'm trying to figure out. On a BantamX, if I have the Jeep's reverse signal auto trigger the S2s on my back bumper, but I decide at that moment that I don't want those on, if I hit whatever button/channel they are on, will it cancel and turn those off? Or is there no way to kill that output until the trigger shuts down?

I get that I can turn them on anytime, or let the trigger do it. What I want to know is if I can kill a triggered activation from the control panel on a case by case basis.

Don't have one yet, but I'm in the market for a switch system and the BantamX looks mighty nice, this is one of my few remaining questions before (forgive the pun) I pull the trigger.
