the further off you can see them, the more time you have to react, and know they are there. I see the ditches right off the corners of the jeep with my lights right up to about 1200m...with usable light. gives me reaction time. like I said, I have hit one moose, with those shitty blue lights. Never again...I run bright stuff now...not crap that "looks" cool.
Over here, in the north, there are regions where wild boar cross roads. They can weigh 70+kg.
In the south (the Negev desert), Camels cross roads, and they're not smaller than moose.
Never had a problem of not seeing one in time, at 50~60MPH, with the stock lights.
I intend to add lights, but certainly not too much lumen, which I find disturbing.

At 80 mph, seeing a moose from 1,200m, gives 34 sec' for reaction -- much more than needed, and that much light blinds a driver from seeing an animal that jumps to the road much closer.

Sounds good. Very interested to see how it works together. I have been eyeballing a 50” for my roof. One from china of course, a few hundred is much better than a few thousand.

I hear ya. I've got my eye on a 20" from China for $200. Just don't have the money for Rigid.

photos of the lights on like that are useless to how they perform. As a rule, im not a fan of the LED color, rather a 4300k color temp.
I have the money for the rigids, but refuse to spend that much on an underperforming light.
