I am planning to add a removable light bar for my combine and 4wd tractor. I'm thinking of probably 6, but maybe only 4 flood lamps, and a strobe light or revolving beacon.
A few years ago, my choice of lights would have been fairly limited to halogen lights, but now with HID and LED lights getting cheaper, these lower amp draw lamps (for the same lumens) are an option...

Any one have either type on machines they run (i have driven a combine with HIDs i was very impressed - that's partly why i'm going to upgrade the lights on my machine)?
