LED lights on a JCB telehandler

[rusty]

just looking st swapping my JCB and there is now an option for LED lights instead of halogen for around £450 extra. Anyone done this and what do you think of them?
Start at 5:15am every morning loading the mixer wagon so the lights get plenty of use!

You won’t regret it! You could however buy it without and speak to @Graham Smith and retro fit them! Either way you win. I fitted a 40” led light bar to FIL’s merlo.... my word rhe whole of Cheshire is a light low! So so much safer

We had a demo of one with led lights. Do it. Definitely worth it.

Definitely worth it

Put four on mine.two on end of boom and two on front of cab to replace the original ones.less than £30 of amazon and some fittings to match the jcb electrical connections for well less than £50 all in.

Well worth it. Get the dealer to put them in for a lot less than that

New 536-70 here LEDs all round will never have anything but LED now on new machinery they are brilliant compared to standard. For £450 just do it you’ll not regret it infact we’re looking into getting the LED headlight clusters as well as the LED work lights make them look pathetic.

Recently had a demo of 1 with led and they were very good. Have a manitou with led and they are much better than on the machine without them.

Spend the money on them.

But £450 EXTRA for the upgrade?

Think that is the list price. Something to negotiate on!

Brother fitted a lightbar on the merlo, 80quid of eBay. It's great, especially for carting bales can spot them across a field at night about 6-700metres away. Bit blinding to stand in front of though

A bit like Ifor Williams trailers a while ago, mate of mine wanted led lights on his new trailer, can't remember how much but it was a hell of a lot of money, and when asked why it was so expensive, he was told they couldn't fit the led lights on the production line, but would bring a trailer into the workshops after being built, remove the standard lights, and refit led lights don't know whether things have changed recently !

i still dunno why there such an expensive option where just talking some electronics here with LEDs on a circuit board
and then all fitted into a fully waterproofed light unit but for quality ones there like 4 or 5 times the price of a Quailty Halogen light
There is on thing there most cert way way better than halogen bulbs.
But there is also alot of diff in the elcheapo ebay stiff to proper branded ones that have all the detailed specs & full EMC protection
ie Electronic Noise Filtering.

I’ve had cheap ones on my digger for several years and had no problems at all.they are on pretty much all the time too to make it easy to see into trenches and avoid shadows.

Wonder what Jcb charge for a std work light £450extra sounds a lot when there charging in lui off std ones
Cheaper buying LEDs and swopping them and still have std ones

 

[Blue.]

What about £450 on some good yard lights?

I agree about Led lights,I have them on a few machines,miles better.

Ask them how much less without any lights....then fit your own
