Which gives me more "usable" light

[jackrook]

Ike the title says....which one will give me more usable light while out on the trails.

A 20inch unobstructed in my bumper or a 30inch behind the grille??

Mind you I already have a 40inch M&R. Looking to supplement it.

Why not both? I'd probably go with the 20" in my bumper though

The 20" in the bumper gives a lot of light. I would say the 20 over 30. An unofficial test here showed a 40% loss of light behind the grille. So take the lumens of the 30 subtract 40% then compare that number to the full lumen rating of the 20. That will answer your Q

Nick, way to step up.....

Sweet. Thanks guys. I'll check the lumens and do the math

I'd say go with the 20" if your state allows no plates

Or the 30" if you like the discrete look

You might consider the Vision X 21" Xmitter Prime Xtreme for the lower grill. It has 17,748 lumens, 2,748 more than your 40" bar and none of it is blocked by the grill.

No ******* way I'm paying that much for a 20inch.

Hey, you asked for the most usable light, just trying to help.

I went with the 20" M&R in the lower grill, here in Alaska it stays dark a lot and off-roading with it is amazing.... Best decision I've made
