Where have people mounted these and what sort of lumens / watts have you found you need? I’m assuming I’ll need 4 lights, two each side in a 24m boom. I’m looking at the Spaldings ones at the moment. Good or bad?!
Thanks in advance.

Might be thick but have to ask why do you need these for ?

Uncertain how to word my reply to your question but in my opinion a bit like my old school report...…. "Could do better"! Click here and may even look similar to the one you refer but a significantly different performer https://www.marketplace.farm/farm-m...ot-light-lamp-20w-sprayer-booms-or-forklifts/. Buy two lights only and under £100 sorts the job. Regards Martin

Having done this last year I was advised to avoid the blue it may look very flash and like something out of the fast and the furious but after a couple of hours becomes alittle annoying. I went for the conventional white ones and as mentioned above one each side is more than enough for a 24m boom
 
@JRA Look very impressive, how do you deal with the nozzles directly behind the sprayer that are out of sight though?

We mount them on the lights on the inner most end of the boom, so when the independent inclines raise/lower the light beam stays focussed on the nozzle pattern. Obviously this misses the four nozzles in the centre. If there's no nozzle camera we leave it without lighting, but we can add a smaller 10w light facing these nozzles if required.
