CREE chips are the "Hot Setup". Check the specs. If the lamps do not have an operational voltage range of 10-30 volts you can bet they are junk grade. Having purchased 100+ of these kinds of lamps I wised-up fast. Non-CREE chips are worthless -- keep this in mind.
There is a significant difference between SPOT and FLOOD lamps. The difference is in the housing well the chip sits in. Flood lamps have annular rings running around the well.
IP67 means waterproof.
The big issue with auxiliary lighting is to avoid the rough-road yadda-yadda-yadda effect that will leave your eyeballs bouncing like BB's in a rain barrel. Building a bracket that will seize the top of the housing will just about eliminate hot spots from doing the jig on the pavement. I cannot emphasize how important this is for off-the-interstate lighting.
I now confine purchases to eBay and the vendor that markets CA-KY (California - Kentucky)
