Ken Block: How Much Light is TOO MUCH light?

- Is there a such thing as too much light? On today's episode, we use some high speed science to answer that question. I teamed up with Rigid Industries (who provided over 300,000 lumens of bolt on lighting) and took my SVC Offroad Ford Raptor to the middle of the Utah desert in the middle of the night to find out if more light = more speed!
This also happens to be the very first full-look at my SVC Offroad built Ford Raptor since it’s most recent round of upgrades. We sent it out to SVC to get an all new wide-body by Fiberwerks (painted by LNC Motorsports), new reflective graphics inspired by my 2020 race livery by Troy Lee Designs, rad custom Borla Exhaust system, more suspension upgrades, a new bed cage setup, and a fabricated F9 rear-end with a locker and full float axles by Currie Enterprises. It also features my brand new “Block” signature wheels by Fuel Off-Road wrapped in 40” Toyo Tires!

You need one switch labeled "THE SUN", which is connected to all the lights in your vehicle.
Or just “DAYTIME”
Toggle switch "Day / Night"
and this button is for UFO mode..
Its a collapsing star. Like, there needs to be a light bar on the market called the Collapsing Star that puts out over 100k lumens.
On to my rambling okay,
The current brightest individual bar on the market as far as I can see is the Vision X XIL-PX9010 at 47520 lumens (raw lumens not effective lumens at 33k) and it draws a monstrous 37.5 amps at 12 volts. But that thing has a 10 degree beam and costs like 2200 USD. You'd need a dedicated 100 amp alternator to run a 100k lumen bar, which since the light would come from one bar as the source, it really would be a collapsing star, it'd be a constant flashbang of light, considering that a flashbang is 2600 lumens from a small point source and across a huge light bar 100k would probably equal a similar intensity to a flashbang. Though the heat would be absurd. Okay I'm done rambling XD
This brings a whole new meaning to *daytime running lights*
Ken is a man of excess. One minute; “this is too much light” drives like a maniac with the lights for one minute; “THIS IS AMAZING”
Nah, exess would have been buying 4 of those 100k lumen flashlights and having an extra car battery to power them
@@churrosmcgee624 excess is when you can't move because, you have to plug it to your home so it work
Rigid: "How much light do you need?"
Ken: "Ever seen a dying star and a collapsed sun at the same time?"
Pretty much how it went!
Ken: yes
Lol
Cool video. Just started my channel where I bag on trucks in the mountains up here in Canada. I just want to make people laugh.
>dying star
>collapsed sun
no need to be redundant now
The name of that truck should be the [LOOMINGAN] lol
LUMINGAN don’t want people thinkin it full of sheit, ya know the Loo, then again it has sooooo much shit on it it might as well be
In a good way though
Ha
Or "Sunigan" :D
Defo
Every flying insect within a mile of the truck: Oh. What's this?!
lämp
Block: I would have had you on the straights, but my light bar creates too much drag.
Lol
Due to photon pressure?
Could be
Doctor: “Your son should regain his eyesight in about one week”
Mother: “What happened? I still don’t understand”
Doctor: “He says it was a pickup truck but I’m not sure how a truck could of done that to his eyes. Maybe it was a government vehicle, they like to test things out in the desert”
😂😂😂
Lmaoo
i sWeAr, iT wAs a UfO!
It was a UFO hovering off the desert floor flying at about 150 mph with this strange Writing on the side that glowed and said HOONIGAN!! oooo eeeeeee oooooooooo!!
*have
Sorry. Can't help it.
Ken Block Is probably having more fun than us watching him have fun
That’s why he’s successful
And im sure his having even more fun watching him and us while we comment on his fun outrageous videos. Nonstop FUN
Honestly I'm convinced this man loves ripping trucks more than we love the content
Change probably to definitely
Watch me have fun on my new channel. Baggin on trucks in the mountains up here in Canada
Colin Chapman: "To add speed, add lightness"
Ken Block: "To add speed, add lightbars?"
Hahaha
Legendary
Light Bars more safety 🤘👌😎😜
now take this to the public roads at midnight
That’s most likely gonna blind some one
@@FrankHorigan for sure lol
Ill use it for those pesky slow drivers who just drive on the left lane and never move right.
Hahaha dude's face! He was definitely feeling the pucker factor, I can tell!
@@feroz3854have a front and rear light bar to counter that lol
The im scared and also slightly aroused was absolute GOLD
Go to a drive-in theatre and ruin everyone's experience
@Big Crunch i couldn't think of any reason why anyone would be mad?
I work at a drive in. This has happened. You can't see shit with just the light pods
🤣🤣🤣
Now nobody will know why this comment got two likes 👍
@@ethanpearson7060 im confused
11:29 rip to his eyes
hahaha lmao
Nice to see Zack wear the face he puts on his passengers in a truck he's driving 🤣🤣🤣
I grew up riding in the night sometimes we would have to run no headlights and we would put tape over our dash and turn off our head unit and run off moonlight
Smuggling drugs across the border? 😂
@@thebuckwheatchannel5744 thought the same thing lol
@@thebuckwheatchannel5744 nah, moonshine activities
My dad would tell me stories of him and friends growing up in the 70s turning off their headlights and following the tree line
Great video that was cool to actually see the real difference in those light setups in pitch dark at night !!
Rigid : "how much lights do you need?"
Ken : yesss...
When you just get a raptor and now you wanna see a full length build on this absolute monster
30 minutes from my house, would have been a bucket list item to take drone/photos of you doing this.
Absolutely awesome as always!!
Hey thanks for the info, great to see the so called science behind a set up. Please do more of these types of videos showing us the “method behind the madness” :)
Dude, I love all your vids so much and I think your super awesome and the best driver I’ve ever seen! And your just a nice and fun guy! Thanks for all the fun laughs and the 😮 expression on our faces when we watch gymkhana
That engine noise+ the turbo 👌🎵
Nobody:
Passenger of a car being driven fast: uses imaginary break
Love the reflective wrap!
This raptor is so sick. And the wide body and lift makes the 40s looks stock and super clean! Definitely is an awesome drive for sure I bet!!!!
God said let there be light
Ken said hold my monster
Excellent toy. Excellent lightnings . Now I'm going to sleep, and I hope to drive something like this in my dream and wake up with a smile in a new day.
Excellent demonstration by the way
Sick video, I love this channel. Ken Block has the most fun
the complicity between zac and ken is awesome 😂
In 2006 I had linear actuators and photo electric sensors steering my adaptive light bar on my Funco. Same year Mercedes/BMW came out with a similar adaptive lighting method. Lights steer when the car steers allowing the light to bend through the turn. Position of each light was crucial. The up/down/left/right override was clutch. I could drive forward and hang the lights hard right to see camps as I was driving at night through the dunes.
However the the function of being able to lift or lower the lights was crucial for climbing the big dunes at Glamis. Can’t believe I’ve never seen anyone else do this.
That exhaust sounds so sick!
Thank you rigid, very cool
Officially, you're one of my favorite CZcamsrs out here!
You are both amazing , Nice job 👍
Dude That's Crazy!
Hey Ken is there any way you can be made a list of everything that is on your truck. I own a 17 raptor and I completely love the setup of your truck. The borla exhaust setup is awesome.
Next video "How much smoke is too much smoke!!"💨💨....Wait that could be "every video"...lol...Love your vids and the Hoonigan's nation!!!🔥🔥...Respect stay safe!.....✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Makes sense to me. Light is speed! Love the reflective livery, looks hella dope
Me: Opening the door to my 5000 watt grow room that blasts out 1,000,000 Lumens.... "No such thing as too much light"
Do you run HPS?
@@therobb5738 Yeppers, usually 2-3 weeks MH then switch to HPS, the early blue light actually makes a big difference
Pics or didn't happen
@@b1ackm3ssiah try a dual fixture cmh. I have the phantom 1 & it holds two 315w bulbs for a total of 630.
My 630w cmh fixture out-prrforms my 1000w gavitas.
RT 1.5 lbs off of 630watts
@@djlansing2724 Do you know how to do economy accounting? Like, Taking out a 4% loan over the course of 2 years is actually better than dropping like $35k down on a car, bcause the 35k in the bank will make you more than 4% back over the course of those 2 years?
A Good CMH set-up costs as much as 10x HID lights. I can run those HID lights for 2-3 grows before i match the price of a CMH light, without factoring in power....
Been a fan of Dr. Block since early 2000's been a fucking pleasure watching your videos, seeing you race and all your cool toys.. You are living the life i dream of 🙌✊
I am in love! The more Led's the better. Loved it without the lights anyway though
To quote one of the hoonigan's previous videos: "More Lighter = More Better"
Zacs face the whole time was priceless once the light came on
I'm Scared but also a little aroused lol hahahaha that was perfect!!
Definitely hilariously ridiculous, but never can have too much light! Love this shit man! Good stuff. Keep doing what you're doing!
When someone honks at you... You light them up! 👍😎
I like how he changed his mind from maybe too much light to nope, not too much, it’s amazing.
I want this set-up for all those times the guy driving toward me at night is oblivious to the fact he still has his brights on...
Its funny you say that because most new cars have an auto light sensor that turns their lights off when it is bright enough and my light bar is bright enough to trigger it. Bmws are really easy to trigger it so instead of blinding everyone, they get no lights
@@chrisbeatty743 I don't think the light sensor is nearly as sensitive as it should be (or as I perceive it should be) in all those new cars.
Useful for going up against drivers who doesn’t know how to use the low beam on the streets, Something to burn their eyeballs out.
You dare challenge me mortal??
*Turns on all 300,000 lumens into rearview mirror*
Form a video I can't really judge a car 's speed but he is driving is perfect 😍
I would have liked another run at stock ligthts at the end to cancel out learning the course over time. I bet the time would improve somewhat.
But hey! More light is more better.
I would also like to have seen some comparison between high mounted lights vs lower mounted, thinking about the shadows cast and what it does to visualize the bumps better. As mentioned, a lot of light flattens the terrain.
I have a 30inch rigid I found on the side of the road and that thing is insane by itself.
That’s was fucking insane brooo!!! Those drone shots makes your truck look like a big ass flash light Lmfaoo looking through the crops 😂
Ken Block + Zac is a good combo for videos like this
More gold⚜️
Hoonigan: LET THERE BE LIGHT!!!⚡
Cool Raptor🔥
I love his "don't die" tattoo
My friends on the Wayne baseball team met you in Panguitch and I was so jealous
This was a great things to know
You can see into the future with that set up
Coolness, If Block has it, you know its got to be cool.....( Must be nice ) Kudos Ken..
It would be great to have a local track like that!
I like fast and narrow but all I have is Hills and bush. Not much flat land.
I've talked to Ken on CZcams twice, would love to have a day out with him and talk 4x4's
You could probably spot him ripping in the desert from space.
Im guessing next upgrade to the truck will be linking it right? That thing is a monster!
Sick Raptor man
i sooo want to drive it
in the Surinam Jungle
Light of a small Sun 🌞 👍🏻 love it!
Please never let zac leave such a legend
I would probably get shot if I had something like that for the street.
Welcome to the Jeep Community Ken!
Made a merch "MORE LIGHTS, MORE SPEED" 😂
BEAST MODE!!
Those fiberwerx fenders and bedsides 🤘🤘🤘
If you turned the lights on without starting the car, the battery would be dead in a minute max. I love it, great work as usual boys.
im not sure, but this channel should have many more subscribers.
How much lights is too much? I think this is plenty 😂😂
Still 3 more sides to the truck!
All jokes aside this actually makes a lot of sense for all outdoor night Motorsports and activities in general
I'd like to watch a series of videos where Ken Block takes people for a drive off-road. The look on that guys face with more light=more throttle was great.
STILL Can’t believe you are gone. RIP BROTHER
Ken block is actually my animal spirit and my personal hero!!! What a great guy!!! 😭🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👌👌👌
Now I get it why it is bright even at night near my hometown
Love the truck,, love the lights,,
Gonna ask maybe a weird question,, do you not need lights facing the back of the truck? 😁
I love my partial laser LEDs. They light up the area so so well! But they were expensive! $6,000 just for a 40” bar and two 10” bars.
Damn they mounted the Sun on that front end!!!!!!😂😂😂
That truck sound's insane
Love the lights!
Thank you Rigid for covering Ken for the Zombie apocalypse!
yea must be nice, whish theyed give my a couple grand in lights
“Well, I can tell you can see better...” 😂😂😂
Is that the EcoBoost Raptor?
Yee
Yeah lots of *psssshhhhhh going on
Next video: How much darkness is TOO MUCH darkness
I use to run a 36" light bar on the bumper with pods on the end. 8" hood light bar. And 2 offroad lights on the roof.
I've put light bars on every vehichle I've owned
Ken block is the best person to have fun with
Those lights are SICKKK!!! Makes me wana go put them on my 95 geo 🤣😂🤣🤣.
Started watching this video at around 12:30 today. Made it just over a minute into the video before I decided to huck it to Walmart, bought a light bar and put it on my car. It is now 4:12 and I am now watching this video happy that I can piss off my friends with the strobe fearure!
Most impressive thing about this truck is that exhaust note. It’s a mean sounding ecoboost
More impressively would be a twin turbo v8.
Ken mate you are an absolute legend your a total maniac when given an engine and wheels love ya style bro stay moist..
Bring the sun with you 👌
Good job
Man, How come someone get to have a life so fun like this. I wish I could be a rally driver. My childhood dream.
In this test the difference between stock headlights and the Adapt light bars is an 11.17% decrease in time. 'All the lights' compared to stock is an overall 15.15% decrease in time. Running all the lights on a course like the Baja 1000 increasing driver confidence at night and giving that time boost would be a huge advantage.
I spy the foxbody in the background 😍
Ken, you light up my life😂. But in all seriousness my people still haven’t herd from your people yet......
Honestly I’m putting sum of those on my truck now!
