LED light replacement

[1987_WHEEHORSE312 49]

I sourced these lights off Amazon gor $25 for the pair. They are direct boltup, plug and play, no modification required. You can see the huge improvement they make over stock. 

 

 

I have included photos of the part number and the box they came in.

All of mine have LEDs. Very few "new" stuff is an improvement nowadays, but this is one for sure.

Awesome! I cant wait till snow season to use the lights!

The comparison between the LED and the sealed beams is quite significant,

 

I just scored a couple more pair of vintage tractor lights earlier this week.

 

I like the ones with the cupped base and internal wire, but they're harder to locate.

Agreed. 

Every build we do or every light that gets replaced is LED.  

 

HUGE difference in the dark moving snow.

@1987_WHEEHORSE312 @kpinnc I’ve upgraded 2 of my three tractors to the PAR 36 LED headlights. one set from Home Depot, one from Amazon. I agree, it’s a definite improvement. The C-141 Auto is the next upgrade candidate.

I am pretty much LED everything across the board. Theyre cheap and reliable, plus a huge upgrade typically.

 

House, cars and trucks, tractors, etc...

I thought I was getting 4" tractor lights - turns out they are 7" lights (big tractor or possible vehicle). They're in great shape overall so, I guess I'll clean them up a little and try and find someone that can use them.

Same here. Several of them are smart bulbs. I tell Alexa good morning, and my home office lights come on at 30% brightness. Once I get my **** together and some coffee in my system, I tell her "bright light" and they bump up to full brightness.

 

I have LEDs in my shop, but I kept one 6 bulb bank of fluorescents in the center of the shop. I was resizing and polishing my wedding band one day and thought I had it perfect - until I walked under the fluorescents. I could clearly see some tooling marks that I didn't get polished out. Under the LED's they were invisible. Evidently, something in the color spectrum. So now when I'm looking at something with regards to surface finish, I always make sure to check under various lighting.

My neighbor is a lighting engineer and he schooled me on both temperature and spectrum after he noticed that I’d equipped my kitchen fluorescents with one each of a warm and daylight tube. He approved!
