I'm after a light to install above the rear door. Was originally looking at the labcraft s17, but the price is bit much. I was then pretty much settled on a Whelan one, but now a firm called Wilderness cropped up on my Facebook and they've got a two for one on this http://www.wildernesslighting.co.uk/wilder...093-p.asp. Any thoughts on the quality of Wilderness, especially compared to the Whelan scene light?

Can't comment on their 'scenelight' .. but I have a pair of their square 'compact' LED spotlights on mine [the 4x 10W LED ones] and they are outstanding!
Fitted for about two years, come on with main beam. Performance has been both impressive and faultless  Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

How has the finish lasted on the housing? |

The reason the link doesn't work is that you've put a full stop at the end of your sentence
http://www.wildernesslighting.co.uk/wilder...3093-p.asp Not that I can be of much help with the light other than to say that it's lumen rating is less than half that of the Labcraft and they're much cheaper if you don't buy them from Mud: https://www.thexmod.com/item_detail.asp?id=28729 However Mud's customer service is great. |

TBH the finish has faded quite a bit from new, still looks ok though .. It does sit in the sun all day  Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |

Cheers, I'm leaning back towards the Whelan scene light although I haven't seen one in reality. I hate crusty looking accessories that the finish doesn't last on. Might start a new thread to ask if anyone has got one of those.
I've had Whelan stuff on work vehicles and it seems to be able to take a lot of abuse. |

the light output is a good point actually, the 1400lm of my Scenelight is in many ways too much for just a little bit of camp light to cook by or whatever and I'm thinking of adding a bit of LED strip. However when I'm using it as a reversing floodlight it's much better.

Whelen / Woodway gear is top notch Steve.
Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades. Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW. [Insert something impressive here such as extensive list of previous Land Rovers or examples of your prestigeous and expensive items, trinkets, houses, bikes, vehicles etc] http://forums.lr4x4.com I used to be Miserable ...but now I'm ecstatic. |
