LED headlights

[94Eddie]

I'm thinking of installing an Acetylene Lamp headlight in my Mounty.

Does anyone know how to get the most brightness from it?

Which of the below would you pick for best results? I have so many questions...

Use them along with military grade night vision goggles.

I once considered some train lights for off road until I found out they require 75 volts.

A choo-choo light would be cool. is there anyway you can still do it? Like maybe drag along a Generac behind you for the proper voltage.



Well, instead of an Acetylene Lamp, I decided to install the retro looking sealed-beam one instead.

I think it looks great. It's much brighter so I can see farther down the road, although several people have already told me it's too bright and others tell me the glare is too much...some even complained about the color of the light (they said I should have gotten antique brass instead of the polished brass one I bought). Some nigglers complained about all three : color, glare, and brightness.
PS--I'm going back to a single candle on each fender.

I've considered adding these to the top of the front bumper on my explorer for off road and dark farm road use. I would swap the 100W H3 bulbs they come with for 130W H3 bulbs which are 3,650 lumen each. The lens is glass and the reflector is metal so they can handle the heat. HID might even be a option if the wire to the ballast is long enough. LED nope because the heat sink would not fit into the housing, plus blue light causes too much glare.
