    I live and travel in sketchy areas, so any of the high dollar lights are off the table for me, can't risk it. I have tried a bunch of different lower price Chinese lights. Ive found that I lean less toward performance, and more towards longevity. The issues I find with the cheaper lights is moisture, and lense/case degradation. doesn't matter how bright they are if they die on me in a year. Ive had a lot of luck with the Mictuning, Colight, and BigLion brands.

    • @208Tyler
      @208Tyler  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Totally! Good “specs” are useless if your lights are filling up with water and burning out! Thanks for sharing your experience, I’ve not heard of BigLion before.

    Great test and love the information you provided which IMO validated your test and results.
    I have had my LED Colights for a couple years and I have been extremely happy with them. They are not only budget friendly but their performance has been nothing short of amazing. Their customer service isn't bad either since I had one flush mount light that was bad out of the box and they resolved it pretty quick.
    I did a review video of my led Colights last year as well.
    Great video.

    the Auxbeam's LEDs not consuming as much doesn't mean the LEDs are bad, that is 100% due to the driver not giving enough power
    the only way to figure out True efficiency is actually measuring the Lumens / watt, it consumes less thus puts out less light, that doesn't make it inefficient, if there's a light with the same optics, pattern etc and puts out less light at the same power consumption it is less effficient, i think it was pretty good at how little it consumed.

    LIGHTS - Great review. I have some diode dynamics and look ok, I added the colights on pilars and the put a lot of light and really impressed. Another great test will be to see how they behave after 10 or 20 minutes, most of them will dim due to heat.

    Great informative video, but any reason not going with a bigger baja design lights? price aside, I feel like its not really fair to put a 3 inch baja pod against gigantic 7-9inch lights.

    • @208Tyler
      @208Tyler  Před 3 měsíci

      Ya, I'm not putting price aside though. I'm not interested in spending $400-800 for a pair of lights. Especially if I can get the performance that I'm getting out of my COLIGHTs at $200.

    • @4WDisLife
      @4WDisLife Před 3 měsíci

      @@208Tyler have you considered auxbeam 360 pro driving lights? I have great experience with them and the price is also budget friendly. Just saying giving the drastic size difference, it's kind of a given for baja to be not as bright. Also, Harbor Freight just came out with their new Roadshock edge 6 lights at around $300 a pair and they did great in a comparison test I recently did even against the much expensive LP6s. I'd give that a look as well.

    • @208Tyler
      @208Tyler  Před 3 měsíci

      @4WDisLife I have not. These are the lights that auxbeam provided me with. Ya I get it, the small light is handicapped. I proved that the quality of the LED’s I better somewhat, but that still doesn’t mean I want to to pay the price tags that come with LP9’s. If these are the brightest for $200, that’s what I want

    • @208Tyler
      @208Tyler  Před 5 měsíci

      According to Auxbeam’s website, those lights are in the $350+ lights. Currently, they’re marked down into the $250 range. If they’re always marked down to $250, then yes, that would’ve been another possible contender. But I also liked having something that spanned the gap in size between the BD and other lights
