Seriously. What are your suggestions? People who ignore polite suggestions tend to be selfish offenders. Polite suggestions are for the clueless. Flashing red and blue lights are for the arrogant.

"With a light bar sale a two cent piece of paper can be included. "Bright lights can blind oncoming drivers. Please do not use lamp on curvy roads or within 1000 meters of other automobiles". Now how hard is that? It would be intelligent therefore never to be printed."

Seriously? A piece of paper that says, in essence, "Be Nice, Be thoughtful". Yeah, right.

It is based on intelligence. Don't slam a store door in the face of a disabled person wielding a walker, don't drink and drive. If oncoming cars blink you down there is a reason, fix it.

This gets rich...approaching a disabled parking place in a warehouse sales lot, an oncoming RV screeched it's tires while accelerating. it cut me off and I had the blinker going. A Black Ford F350 one ton four door. The driver slid down from the 4' driver door and SPRINTED into the warehouse. I had to abandon my task.

Cops base their perception from the bottom up. So do legislators. Therefore bottom feeders create problems and the judicial system then imposes draconian law on everyone.

Try this on for size. Dedicated safety laws. i.e. Blindly brilliant light brings forth a traffic ticket. Insurance rate doubles for a year. Driver required to renew driver license annually for a few years. That plus a $500 dollar fine may encourage people to stop "holding it in"...this is a matter of lack of intelligence or selfish arrogance.

With a light bar sale a two cent piece of paper can be included. "Bright lights can blind oncoming drivers. Please do not use lamp on curvy roads or within 1000 meters of other automobiles". Now how hard is that? It would be intelligent therefore never to be printed.

There is some moron who lives not far from me who has one of those light bars. He was running with it on going down a county road, and got a ticket for all kinds of violations. I was told that he was later charged with reckless endangerment after he continued to do it. Blinding other drivers is not a good idea.

Just last night saw a Oregon State Trooper, pull over a lifted F350 for extreamly bright lights. Lighting laws seem to have gone the way of the wind. Just recently the Insurance Institute did a study of SUV lighting, most were rated poor to marginal for the driver, but would blind oncoming drivers.

Dutch 'splained it perfect

As far as getting into the harbor, just drop anchor, point the light down and net Squid

Off road lights are...well...FOR OFFROAD ONLY!

Plus, they are great when skinning an elk hanging in a tree after the sun has gone down.

and when you have skinned it, rotate slowly until cooked. !

daymmmn... that much wattage will burn the hair off your neck..

The light bar would be great for a cabin cruiser or salmon boat trying to work it's way past a jetty into a harbor. Gimbal mounted with counter-weight.

On a more serious vein, the small square CREE six emitter (3 watts each) CREE lamps, rated 18-watts but actually consuming 13 are damned near as bright as a single 6013 halogen headlight. I am using specialty light diffuser panels to spread this light in floodlight fashion over a wider area. Absolutely incredible amount of light for ONE SINGLE AMPERE 12 volts. I love to see rig porch lights that give 5% of their emitted light downward where it does something. One single 18-watt CREE light with diffuser would equal about 20 standard porch lights.

2016 watts looks like incandescent equivalent consistent with ebay non-sense.

Maybe, but it does say 288 pcs @ 7w which is 2016w.

What's a "T" Hunter?

"Transmitter hunting (also known as T-hunting, fox hunting, bunny hunting, and bunny chasing), is an activity wherein participants use radio direction finding techniques to locate one or more radio transmitters hidden within a designated search area. This activity is most popular among amateur radio enthusiasts, and one organized sport variation is known as amateur radio direction finding."

Judging by the context, I'd say transmitter hunter.
