Rear LED work lights....
Doing some TLC to the 110.... I had a pair of (large tractor type) spots on the back of it for a while, but they were stupidly big.

I have a P&P cage with mounting lugs on the back for spots, so was thinking of a pair of cheapy LED spots, like these



Anyone have any experience with them? They're only for general reversing and the odd rear job. To be honest I'm only fitting them as I've alrerady got the wiring in place.

Those are probably far too much for what you want. I have a 20w led lamp and it is more than enough 80" 1948

Good point, I didn't consider the wattage.

I have a pair of (what appear to be) those at the rear, and one midway down each side, and they are ideal, providing excellent scene lighting all round. Mine are a flood rather than spot beam.

Extremely useful when working, manoeuvring or loading trailers, off-roading, and many other activities.

I’ve got a pair of Labcraft SI8 lights on the rear of my 90. Very discreet and fit in nicely on the rear while providing excellent light for such a small a light. Highly recommend them Thumbs Up

I've no idea what that even means.

The light output claims made in that particular eBay listing are rather ambitious, I feel. Each one of mine gives out about the same light as a 55 Watt halogen flood light.

As long as they're bright enough for reversing and tinkering around the rear of the 110 then they'll be fine.

I've recently purchased a couple of work lights for one of my tractors from Truck Electrics. They are in Ireland but ship to the UK and their prices are in GBP. They have a range of square, round, oblong and light bars all reasonably priced.

I installed a couple of these on the rear of mine. They're a similar style to the one you linked to but are 18w each. They were about £15 for the pair and have been in place for nearly two years. They're wired to come on with the reversing light at night and so have seen a fair amount of use and they're all good so far.

Those might actually be the ones I have - they all tend to look the same. At the price you can't really go wrong.
