Testing 3 Popular AuxBeam LED Light bars | Including 5D-PRO series
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this video, I unbox 3 different LED light bars from Aux Beam. I got the 22-inch version of the side shooter, 5D-PRO, and white and amber light bars. I share the specs of each light bar, perform a real-life wattage test, beam pattern test, and finally a brightness test. There are more types of light bars that AuxBeam makes but these are all the ones I could do for now. I will be making videos on installing these in my vehicles later on. Thanks for watching and I hope you found this video useful.

You do a better actual light test than anyone I've ever seen! Thank you so much.. I found your wattage test the most useful as I was nervous about the 420w claims of the white and amber haha

Thank you! no problem the trick is to lock exposure so there is a fair test. yeah for sure, people are saying that the wattage rating they provide is basically equivalent to regular filament type lighting, which makes sense now but I wish they were more clear in the specs, or had both

@4WheelKid yeah I completely agree! Because it seems that they switch that label method even within the same brand.. some models will be rated "compared to halogen" and some models in the same brand will be rated somewhat close to their claims haha
This is way more entertaining than it should be. Well done, sir!

Good to see the CRI/CCT seems to be improving with these cheaper products. Still prefer the color reproduction of the factory headlights, but that 5D and W/A have *some* browns/oranges/reds in it. Suggestion for testing is put up some colored panels (construction paper maybe?) and see which has preferable appearance. I find that most people need more reds/oranges than many LED chips offer.

In your opinion, which one would you recommend for mounting on a truck roll bar behind the cab? I was really interested on getting one.
@4WheelKid
Жыл бұрын
you should be able to find some mounts that camp onto the roll bar, just will need to measure and see what size so you can mount a light bar

have a problem with the 42in, roof mounted, after driving to the foggy mountain 13c temp and when back home the temp is 24c, the next morning found water vapour inside the lens, any idea how to overcome this problem?

Thats the worst when that happens! Seems to be a problem with these cheaper light bars. Havnt had that issue with one of my aux beam bars that sits outside all day yet. Maybe the best thing to do is take it apart let it dry out and reseal it. But that would be a lot of work
The amber is sweet

I think the "wattage" rating that they advertise is still comparing to what incandescnet/halogen would have been rated. Like You still see LED bulbs for domestic use labelled as "60W" but it's actually drawing like 1W because it's an LED and not halogen.

Makes sense, wish they would give equivalent wattage and actual wattage rating. would be helpful. glad they pull so much less wattage though

Auxbeam light quality is trash. You can see squares of light which ruins the light output with unusable hot spots. That means the reflectors are junk. I try to explain to people the cheap lightbars are cheap for a reason. When you compare these to Baja or Rigid, you see an apparent light quality difference.

@@4WheelKid you’ve probably never seen a Rigid or Baja. It’s ok, there has to be lightbars in every price range/budget. Clarity and light definition is important to me on farming equipment and my trucks for frequent offroad use checking on cattle. It’s different than running an ATV down a trail. 😎
