I've tried cheap v more expensive - the cheap ones have a lifespan of afew hours or the bracket mount rips off the casting cos it's too thin.

The cheap ones will interfere with your radio ,it ain’t worth the hassle.

I've had pretty good luck with the kind of cheap to mid range LED's. I know a few that run Rigid in marine applications they are a real nice light, probably top of the line. But the cost is eye watering. I put 4 6" LED Light bars in place of the factory cab lights on our 3070 Massey about 6 years ago and they are still working great. They were just cheap ones off Amazon.
Just ordered some more from @UTV Products .14th light .Can't fault them !
I have both. Cheap serve a purpose. The light pattern is normally poor and they don’t last long or appear as bright as they claim. I’ve an Osram light at about 50cm in length . It is amazing. It was on my amarok for two years and still
Looks like new. It was £250 I think. I’ve also two little osram spots on my motorbike . They are only 15w each but light up an amazing area and have about 500m length of light. I’ve also a few Nordic of equal quality. I won’t be buying cheap again.

Bought 8 for £50 off eBay. Caused radio interference so fitted them to a scraper tractor and old telescopic and they work fine. Got a few mid range sparex ones (£30 each) fitted to a couple of things and they are fine, no radio interferenc, better light than halogens. Also bought quite a few off UTV products, good quality but £££, comes in nice boxes, bit like buying an Apple product

Ebay cheapies for the my cheapie fleet.
No radio in most of them.
If you get a duff one then bin it and get another out of the box of 10.
UTV etc are better lights but I'd only afford one set rather than 10 vehicles worth.

What do you think of the nordic lights? Profi gave them a great review a few years back
we did some testing for Lazer LED this summer / autumn on tractors and combine and they are absolutely miles better than anything i have seen or used before - they are not cheap however but i think leds really are one of those things where you get what you pay for
I expect they have just got a whole lot cheaper for you after that shameless plug
must help having a high profileI expect they have just got a whole lot cheaper for you after that shameless plug
we were testing and facilitating some marketing photos for their brochure ( they paid us for this !) so didn’t pay for them anyway but they were EXTREMELY good
I have since bought some for one of my defenders ! I don’t recommend anything i would not spend my own money on
Quality led's are great for when your sat in a machine looking out. If you want more lighting power while working outside the machine without getting blinded, loaders ect then halogen h9's can do a great job. Will probably need new cables ran though as they do suck up some juice. Working around people led's just ruin everyone else's vision i find.

If you require any information on the Nordic Lights I would be happy to help. The Go series is a great range and the new Sato 730 (oval) light is definitely worth a look. G

There is no getting away from the quality end of this LED job
Zero issues with a single Nordic LED worklight & ive got all price ranges & outputs on various machinery here.
Some must be 8 year old now. Big Thanks to Graham for supplying all of them
They really are the best on the market but you pay the price. Graham smith on here imports then and gives excellent service
Edit, see you all beat me to it!
