Sneak peek.. LED Light bar for sleds.

[AndrettiDog]

So, I started reading this thread thinking that light bar was silly and now have interest in alternative lighting. I'd light to remove my Pro headlight and still have an alternative light source.

How would you compare the light bar to the helmet light? I checked out your site and I think I want a helmet light that can be stored away until needed. So it would have to power off of my 2-stroke sled. Are there lights that can be powered off of the sled and also from a battery source (maybe for other uses)?

That's how he rigged my HID helmet light. I have never used the sled power option yet though. BTW, that light is brighter than the core of the sun. You don't want to use it for close up work like working on your sled. The reflection is REALLY bright. I have a low power LED head lamp for everything else but riding. And a flashlight. Up in the woods at night it is literally pitch black and you won't have any night vision because his light is really bright. When I turn it off I almost get vertigo it's so hard to see so I have a light handy all the time.

Matte - I'm confused, you said that's how he rigged your light but you haven't used your sled power. So do you use the battery source? I was just afraid it would be too bulky.

There is a reason most night time off road racers use the Cyclops Solstice helmet mounted light.
When you can "SEE Where You Look" its much like daytime riding, Jump,Climb, boondock, etc. and no stopping to wipe the snow off of your headlight.

one try and you will wonder WTH have I been doing all these years. Guarantied.

Once you try good lights you'll never go back to stock,double that for a helmet mounted light.
Night riding is a blast,most always better snow conditions,less traffic and usually you can see better.
We do have lights that will run from the battery and the sled or like you mention both.
Hids and LED's will require DC power, Its best to have a battery on the HID to prevent flickering when in reverse,but that is not always necessary.
Most modern sleds have a dc power port.
here is a link to our helmet mounted light page.

Yes. The battery is small and light. Just sits in your pack with a cord to the light. The cord is flexible so it's not pulling on your helmet. off road rider can you post a pic of your whole set up on a helmet with the battery attached?

This is the Solstice HID. The photo does not show the cord detail.
The retract option comes with a female harness that is hooked to DC power on the sled, it features a quick disconnect plug that allows you to run from the battery packs or the sleds power.
