LED light bar and a battery pack
« on: September 23, 2013, 10:26:32 AM »
Not really off topic but this should have the most traffic.

Anybody running a LED lightbar?  I'm debating getting a Rigid 6" light bar, single row LED.  I've heard HIDs throw light farther but I'm looking for low amp draw to run off a battery pack.  Run one pack, recharge one.  Switch out when I refuel.

I was going to use a RC type battery pack, 10000 mAh.  It would go on an AC only quad (Banshee) but I decided to take my time and get a DC stator for it and a tiny sealed battery.  Then I can put decent lights on it and not worry about running out of battery power.  The rc batteries are $80 each and I would need at least two.  Then I have to run a smaller light.  Not worth it.
