Lights on expedition Rack
So what have you all fitted to your LR expedition racks? I quite fancy a light bar, but the sizes are very confusing as for what to go for, either 60 cm in the middle or 130 cm right across. There's thousands on ebay in all different shapes and sizes. I would like something not too tall so I can fit the two surf boards in either side of the plated square bit in the middle, which is swaying me towards one in the centre.

Here's my setup, sorry, the only photo I have, that has a decent shot of the lights...
They are Rigid Industries lights and though not cheap, they're hellishly good. 2 flood, 2 beam.
Available from Zen Overland.

They look well and not too tall Thumbs Up

I've seen similar CREE ones that look affordable on ebay that I am very tempted by http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151581157663

I have four of these with flood beam mounted on my rack (2 at rear, one each side) to provide all round scene lighting. They are excellent, and incredible value.

Ken, your trucks always look bang on!

NickMc, as Blackwolf just pointed out, they seem quite good, I might buy some for the side of the rack for under the awning, and use the others as a back up light and for my 90, good find Thumbs Up
