led work lights for the tractor

What sorta money are these nordics?

Is there a way to stop the interference? Put all leds on the 6506 here and didn't buy the cheap ones, changed the top line ones to led to. So they might be the problem but is there such a thing as a suppressor to fit somewhere?

NO AFAIK its all to do with the screening of the electronics that work the led chips & in CHINA where 90% of these things esp from ebay are from that just go's out the window. UTV Products have said there ones from CHINA are specced with the correct EMC spec to stop this interference. Its Standard Practice on all the Nordic Lights which if you have a read of the detailed specs it explains all about these issues

I bought some nordics from graham and they were about £100 a pair. They are really good and good quality. I swap them from combine to telehandler. I do plenty of buying cheap on ebay but in this instance these lights are worth it because you can tell they will last.

Rather expensive then but guess you get what you pay for

I felt they were worth it having bought lots of led pir spotlights on ebay which get brittle quickly

 

[Pheasant Surprise]

Every time this subject comes up I struggle to see the benefit of going for expensive ones! I've lots on various vehicles all have been cheap eBay/Amazon ones have used the lower wattage but got a few 48w and are very good.

I don't really give a stuff about the radio, but given there is a far more critical steering receiver/controller sat in the roof, it's not worth the pain and aggravation of that playing up or being otherwise affected.

You're basically on a hiding to nowhere. Your best just fitting lights that don't spray RF everywhere. They do exist.

Thanks @General-Lee
Suppressor on the supply lead to whatever has the interference radio/CB.
You can get them on E-Bay .........
Double check all the earths especially if its a CB
Then just power up one LED, switch it on to cause the interference, then completely wrap it in tin coil just to test. Probably have to earth the foil and the foil will get hot, so be careful. Then cut back on the shield to let the LED shed light, but still sufficient to reduce the interference. Then you can get sticky back tin foil shielding, for all the LED's, when you know it works.

Bad or insufficient earths or LED's sharing power leads or even looms with the radio/CB will all cause your problems.
It can take a bit of time ........

£60 a pair i think last time i asked

More reasonable than I thought they might be

 

[seedman stains]

So is a Nordic lumen better than a chinois lumen?

Doubtful to be better.

Just more realistic as to actual output.

You see led torches on eBay boasting 2000+ lumen - from a single T6 chip.

A T6 chip makes 950 lumen max, for a short period....

 

[Nearly]

Whatever the op gets (chinese or expensive chinese ) mught as well get 48w lights as they will not overload existing wiring.

I've at least 2 ebay ones on each machine with no radio or gps interference. I guess I'm just lucky.
@TripleSix do you want to try a pair from stock?

 

[davieogrutha]

So if I was to get a cheep set of ebay or a decent set from Nordic is it best to avoid anything less than 40 odd wattage?

halogen bulbs are 55w each. Why buy smaller than the rated capacity of the wiring. Might as well have as much light as poss, the smaller leds aren't much cheaper?

 

[Graham Smith]

@davieogrutha for most applications in agriculture a 24W LED will be fine. If you are looking to illuminate a sprayer boom over 30m then I would look at the 50W versions. I've attached an image of the output from the entry level KL1002 LED light which is rated at 24Watts and 1500 lumens.The second image is of a 50 W light illuminating the left hand section of a 40m sprayer boom; this gives you an idea of the light spread.

http://www.nordiclights.com/start-english/products/light-simulation this link will take you to a page where you can compare the various light options and lenses.

I have a twitter account @retrofitparts I use this to show images the lights in action and of the lighting applications that the Nordics are used in.

That photo with the digger bucket is a good representation of why I don't like Led's
