Anyone make a telescoping bar for a rear bumper light?
#11
I don't have an set height it needs to be, more the better
I want to keep it within reason, not looking to make a 15' boom out of the back of the Jeep, just a couple feet would do or the length from the top of the tire to the bottom of the tire carrier. Any height gained is more light shining down instead of coming out at head height. Kind of like a street lamp vs head lamp idea.
Last resort is as you mentioned, just mounting a light on a swivel.
I do have driving lights mounted inside my housing to replace the reverse lights so reverse lights are not an issue, also have 2 VisionX LED cubes in the rear bumper for light. But, what I am trying to accomplish is more so the downward ambient camp light then throwing light backwards ... if that makes sense?

Check out the diffused light pattern on the Rigid Dually web page...
mounting at the height at or above the spare does complicate things a bit.
sounds like you already have a lot of lights going on back there...post a picture so we have a better idea?

Wally World aka walmart and autozone sell these telescoping rv wash brush. Priced between 10-30 dollars depending what length you buy.

They measure about 3.5 feet collapsed and 8.5 feet extended. Should hold up well since it's aluminum, their pretty thick aluminum pipe. Oh and the brush head bolts on to a flat plastic base that I'm sure you can modify to hold a light. Maybe you can find a way to run the wire down through the pipe.. Now you got my gears turning.. Lol
Good luck

It sounds like your describing the pattern of a d2 in the diffused pattern.
