Need An LED Light Bar? Here Are The Top 3 Beam Patterns
If you want to add an LED light bar to ATV or other off-road vehicle, there are three different beam patterns that you have to choose from for your lighting needs.
#1 Spot Light
The first type of beam pattern is one that you should be familiar with, the spot light beam pattern. This type of light bar will contain a couple of different lights on top that you can manual adjust so that they are focused in a specific direction. The great thing about spot light style LED light bars is that they provide you with more focused light that you are set in the specific direction that you need.
For example, if you are going to be on the road, you may want to focus the LED spot lights on the road so you can see better. Or, if you are parked and are setting up camp for the night, you may want to set up the lights so that they are directed at your camp area.
With a spot light beam, you'll get a very focused and intense beam of light in a specific area.
#2 Flood Beam
The second type of light beam pattern that you can install on your LED light bar are flood beams. Flood beams are great because they provide you with extra light over a larger area. You end up with a small area where the light is stronger and more focused, kind of like with a spot light beam, but also with a wide area where the light spreads out and provides you with additional coverage. The best thing about flood beams are that they provide you with a large amount of light with just one or two lights on your LED light beam bar.
#3 Mixed Beam
The third type of LED light bar that you can put on your off-road vehicle is a mixed beam bar. A mixed beam bar has a mixture of both flood and spot lights. This type of light bar with give you both really focused lights as well as large light coverage area. It should be able to provide you with all the light that you need to provide you with both focused and large light coverage. If you can't choose between the two light options above, this is a great course of action to take to get the light you need without having to compromise between spot and flood lights on your off-road vehicle.
Consider each of these beam patterns when looking for an off road LED light bar.
