Lighting Shootout for TRR 2015

I am planning on doing another lighting shootout for TRR. I would like to have an idea of who might be interested and what we might be testing. Please post if you will participate and what you will have to test. I would like to have light setups that have previously been untested. I will update this post with a tentative list.

Could you explain this shootout so that I don't look like a total idiot when I state my set-up?

What I am most interested in is testing a stand alone setup. For example, you have two different light bars and a pair of hood mount lights. I would want to test them individually - three tests: one for each light bar and one for the pair of hood mounts.

I missed it last year, blew by the location and didn't see you guys down in that hole until it was in my rearview mirror. I would like to participate. Don't remember what was tested but let me know if you would like me to attend?

30" Amber Rigid in bumper, no obstruction - Can turn on and off
30" and 40" Blackhawk behind grill - both on one AUX switch
3 12" Whelen Dual Slimline's above roof (24,000 lumens), no obstruction - all three one AUX (would love to find out how these measure out)
2 KC 4.5" Hood Cannons - separate AUX (installing at TRR, Friday morning)
Also having a set of Rigid HD D2's installed at TRR, Friday morning but not sure worth testing since they will be sitting low and really for cornering.

We tested a 40" Rigid last year, would be good to add a 30".
30" and 40" Blackhawk behind grill - both on one AUX switch
We will skip these as we already tested the 40" last year, they cannot be isolated and they are behind the grille.
3 12" Whelen Dual Slimline's above roof (24,000 lumens), no obstruction - all three one AUX (would love to find out how these measure out)
Definitely interested in testing these. Folks asked about Whelen results last year, but no one came by to get them tested.
2 KC 4.5" Hood Cannons - separate AUX (installing at TRR, Friday morning)
Also having a set of Rigid HD D2's installed at TRR, Friday morning but not sure worth testing since they will be sitting low and really for cornering.
Are you talking about the VisionX Light Canons? We tested those last year. We will skip the D2s.

Here is what @2014RubyRed has:

Didn't know if you wanted it here - but here goes:

5 - Vision X 6.7" 50 watt on top light bar
Definitely want to test these - are they spot pattern?
2 - 40" radius Rigids in Rogue bumper
Would be good to see if there is a difference in the radius vs a regular bar. Is each bar on its own switch or are they switched together?
1 - 30" China Brand behind grill above FORD
Can the light be tested with the hood open with the grille out of the way or is it mounted to the grille?
2 - Vision X 4.5" 25 Watt Cannons on hood brackets
Tested those last year - no need to repeat.

@2014RubyRed the dual 40" rds aren't Rigids, I believe they're Rogue's own branded light bar.


@KaiserM715 I have:

- Rogue 40" RDS front bumper, unobstructed
- Rigid D2 Hyperspots (4) front bumper, unobstructed
- ATP 30" RDS behind grill (attached to grill supports)
- Rigid D2 Flush Mount Driving pattern (2) in rear bumper
- Vision-X 4.5" Canons hood lights - already tested the other year

6.7" are spots. Radius lights on individual switches. 30" behind grill mounted to radiator support, not hood. Jimbo said the radius lights aren't Rigids.....if that matters????

I would be interested in how the Chinese Rouge lights perform (since they are new) in comparison to actual Rigids.
