110 DCPU work light mounting
Has anyone any pictures of rear work lights on there 110 dcpu as I am looking for mounting ideas.
I was even thinking of a rear roll bar to mount the work lights on but not sure if it will look rubbish Neutral

Thanks all

This is how I have mounted mine, though it might not be quite what you're looking for. The two LED units are mounted on modified mirror arms so that they allow the rear flap to be opened, and can be shone backwards, forwards into the loadspace, sideways, forwards alongside the Defender (handy if you need to change a wheel). Pointing backwards they can either be within the width of the vehicle or outside the width of the vehicle, for example to illuminate the sides of a trailer.

You do of course need a Patriot rack or equivalent for this to work!

It's an old photo and I now also have an additional similar light side-facing over each rear door. When the need arises, the vehicle is at the centre of an intense pool of light.

If you don't have a canopy, could you mount one of the front light bars with gutter clamps but facing backwards?

There is no canopy or roof bars on it
Was thinking the neatest option might be CB gutter clamps on each side to mount the lights

Here's an utterly gratuitous more recent picture which shows the additional side-facing lights.

I have a far corners LED number plate light which is strong enough and has a hole in the top for a work light.
