That thing looks crazy!! What a deal.....I really don't think its worth putting on your truck, seems like alot of work for one light. Is there a way that you could make it a portable spot light? IMO, you should just try to sell it on ebay, then take the money and spend it on something more useful.

 

that is EXACTLY what i was thinking... they would think an alien was about to abduct them when you turned that thing on them!!!

 

that is sick lol!!!!!!
omg..

MEAN GREEN!!!!

 

Just get a 24V HO alt from a diesel truck it will put out the 28V you need when running and run a dual batt set-up so far as the 12V stuff goes you'd just need an isolator like they use for the 12V stuff in the truck cabs...
be careful though with a light like that it isint just the cops would could come down on you... the FAA and HS could get after you if you evera accidentally blinded a pilot flying or something...

 

You have heard of the Trunk Monkey right?
I have the Trunk Yoda mod.

 

Ya that would work...I've seen 28V systems that only actually pull about 25.5 Volts...Is there a 24V alternator that he could bolt on?

 

You could melt someones windshield.

 

Haha....

 

Just clicking on this thread made the lights in my apartment dim due to power consumption.

 

Ok guys I bought the light.. it came with all the hardware converts and a big black box thingy that controls the light (orginally mounted in the cockpit of the chopper) it has a focus to adjust the beam pattern pencil to flood and than a small joystick to control the movement of the light. than an slider to adjust the intensity It is fairly heavy about 30 pounds for just the light and bracket.. My uncle has a semi so the power to run it so I will try it out tonight

 

Sweeeeeeeeet make sure you take pics!

 

Darn! sounds you actually got yourself one of those "nite-sun" units they use on the copper choppers... the game wardens could try to nab you for deer jacking... two counties over...lol

 

So did you test that new light out yet? Lets see some pics!

 

That light is awesome!! Use the 3 optima batteries as suggested and a 100 amp alt. Try to fabricate a base for the light so that you can remove it when your not using it. That is so cool though you gotta do it. It looks like a UFO landed in your back yard.

 

just think, all this work will pay off the next time you drop something at night on the trail. Who needs $30 fog lights from autozone. You'll make Tim Taylor proud LOL

 

Its like the freakin bat signal. If you ever get stuck in the woods at night, just shine that in the air for help!

 

That's a true statement! Several years back a guy had a high output handheld spotlight and parked his truck in some trees and blinded pilots doing practice landings in F-18's down in Chesapeake VA...Guy got into deep trouble!

 

Haha........very easy to do around here!

 

well guys this thing is not as simple to hook up as it seems lol... Still havent got it to power up yet.. I am getting some wiring diagrams from the manafracturer.. Ill keep ya guys updated ..
