    Lighting gurus help needed

    Do I go LED or HID for a spotlight or two on my 4x4?
    Have heard that some of the multi LED lights produce a lot of shadow.
    I want spot rather than flood, and no it isn't for hunting purposes

    For vehicle mounted I'd go HID. Use about 1/3 the power of Halogen but take a little warming up.

    I picked up some 55w hid spots on aliexpress for $100. For that price I was really impressed

    Having seen Halogen, HID and LED lamps in operation, the LED lamps are taking over for sure.
    Halogen is old school, HID is good. But LED is getting better. Technology is more in favour of the LED range of lighting now. There are plenty of cheap LED lamps available on Aliexpress.

    Have a look at FyrLyt lamps.
