Unsealed 4×4 20 Inch LED Light Bar Shootout

Unsealed 4×4 have reviewed some of the top 20 LED Light Bars here. Their testing methodogy is summarised below…

We decided to test only 20-inch (or as close as possible) LED light bars…(because) a 20-inch light bar will fit between the rails of most bullbars sold on the market, making for a straightforward installation.

The first test was to physically fit the light bars to the front of a vehicle (making notes on how hard they were to fit and if a wiring loom was included)…

The LUX output of each light was measured at 1m, 10m and 100m increments with a LUX (or light) meter…We also measured the spread of light produced from 10m in front of the vehicle, then 5m to the side… The temperature of each light was also recorded from the heat sink at the back of the light.

…We decided to switch each LED light bar on and throw them into a fish tank to test this IP rating. While switched on, the lights should generate heat. If there were any weak points in the sealing of the light bars, this test would find them.
