NEW! SPV/Rigid SR-L Slim Rear Light kit... VS Baja S2 Reverse kit

Baja Designs said:

Just to add some information to your review. We sell our Raptor reverse light kit with the S2 Sport in a wide-cornering lens. This light gives 1,130 lumens each and an optic that shines a 42 degree flattened beam pattern. Comparing this light with the Rigid SR-L wouldn't be a side by side comparison because of the optics. The Rigid SR-L shines a 120 degree horizontal beam angle. For a true apples to apples comparison, I would recommend using a work/scene S2. This casts a 120 degree beam pattern. Although you get a narrower beam with the wide cornering lens, you'll get greater distance and that's why we sell the kit with this setup. If someone needed broader coverage, a work/scene setup is recommended. But that's another cool feature our product gives compared to the competition, versatility to find the correct setup with interchangeable optics and lenses.

Thanks for the reply. The biggest comparison for most people is the slim case and the Red Backlight. Is Baja planning on incorporating a red backlight into and S2 or S4 lights any time soon? If so, we can add those to our line up.

According to Rigids specifications, the SR-L produces 1,452 lumens each (which is 322 more Lumens than the S2’s.) and as you pointed out a wider 120 degree beam which is a wider area than 42 degrees.
However, with a similar case size and still high lumen output, the biggest compare for most is the size and the Red backlight as an option. Both are great and both offer ample light and a good wide area.

At this time, we don't plan to offer a backlight feature on our S2 series. The LP series is our only line that has an amber backlight feature. Correct, the SR-L line may have higher lumens. But higher lumen count is not always the deciding factor. Our 5000k color temperature, design of our optics, and ClearView lenses are key points of our product. There are several BD options available that are higher in intensity or smaller in size. Our S2 Pro (3"x2" housing) which features 2,450 lumens a piece or our S1 (2.1"x2.1" housing) series which features 2,375 lumens a piece. All of which can be done in our 120 degree work/scene setup with a lens/optic swap. A side by side comparison would include both lights in the same or similar setup. Which in this review, the work/scene optic in the S2 would be what you need.

With your s2 reverse kit is that wide cornering lens wide enough to help with backing a trailer ? Or how narrow is that beam ? Also what is the cost on getting a set of work/scene lens ?
