About Off-road Auxiliary Lights

Halogen lights have low cost, simple structure, but short service life and low luminous efficiency.

Xenon light has high brightness and saves electricity, but its color is cold and visibility is low in rainy and foggy days. The LED light has strong brightness, high luminous efficiency, energy conservation, and environmental protection, but poor heat dissipation ( with the development of LED technology, this problem is slowly being solved). If you are an off-road vehicle driver who travels a lot, you really need to install auxiliary lights on the off-road vehicle to improve safety.

If you drive an off-road vehicle with only the original headlights in the middle of the night, facing deep mountains, sparsely populated deserts, rugged mountain roads, or foggy weather, the lighting system of the original vehicle can't help you much at all. In this case, what kind of LED auxiliary light can we use to improve the lighting capability? Fog light In foggy days, the fog water itself has astigmatism effect, so when the general headlights illuminate the fog water, the reflection is very severe and the road surface cannot be seen clearly at all. Even in extreme cases, the headlights have to be turned off, simply relying on the yellow light of the fog lights.

No fog lights

Because the yellow light of fog light is more easily absorbed by fog than white light, it can provide you with a clearer driving vision. However, it should be noted that due to the low installation position of fog lights, during off-road operation at ordinary times, no more or less will encounter some dust, mud and wading situations, so it is better to check after off-road operation each time, and repair or replace in time if there is any situation.  


Spotlight

It is the light with the longest range of light. When crossing the country, drivers can use spotlights to illuminate distant objects for exploring, searching and asking for help.
Special driving lights and steering auxiliary lights 

Special driving lights are the kinds of lights that perform their maximum function in a completely dark environment. The irradiation surface of this group of lights alone already covers the irradiation range of near and far light. The steering auxiliary lights must be used together with the original lights. When passing through some winding mountain roads, turn on the light, and there will be a very wide-angle visual space.
It should be noted that the additional auxiliary lights are not better with the larger number and the better power. Depending on the situation, the data provided by the vehicle generator is used to judge how many additional lights can be loaded to avoid the insufficient power supply.

Try to avoid using the same light line as the original vehicle, and install a relay in front of the switch in order to realize weak current control of strong current. 

The above four kinds of auxiliary lights for off-road vehicles should never be used at the same time. It must be used according to the current environment and actual needs.
