I replaced my old 55W halogen front lights with a 234W LED light bar. BOY does it make a difference. It took about 3 hours to drill, fit and wire it. Here is a short video of the bar and how well it lights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsHp5BPexOI

Ok, you have my attention. How many led's are in the bar itself, normally each light is 3 watts. That would make 76 lights?

Yes, 76 LEDs at 3W each. It is a 36INCH 234W CREE LED Work Light Bar Combo Beam. 19,500 lumens. It took me about 3 hours to remove the old lights, drill, mount and connect the bar. BOY does it make a difference, draws fewer amps than the halogens too. Below is another short video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytUuxd9rrWw I will post more when after I plow probably tomorrow night. They run about $110-$159

19,500 lumens must be crazy bright. As far as amp's are concerned 234 watts are drawing just over 19 amps. The two 55 watt halogens together are drawing 9.1 amps. Watts/volts=amps. 234/12=19.5 amps

Here is a video of the light bar's first run plowing at night. The skid steer was COLD thus the hydraulic noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awinzxDxWp4&feature=youtu.be
