i am looking to get offroad lights and want them to be as bright and shine as far as possible ive got it narrowed down and just need to know the difference between a fluted and spot lamp
thanks for any help

 

spot will be brighter and project farther

 

Well whats fluted?

 

A fluted lens generally means you have a fog pattern light. The flutes run vertically - which gives you a wide, flat pattern. Fog beams are generally used to see a relatively short distance out in front of the truck and well out to the sides. A fog pattern also has the advantage of (generally) not reflecting back off of snow or fog and blinding you.

A driving beam generally has almost a clear (non fluted) lens and is used to see much farther down the road - but at the expense of not illuminating much off to the sides. There is also something called a pencil beam which gives you pretty much a pencil thin beam of light - that really goes long distance. If you're really looking for throwing light down the road, go with a driving light.

 

spot lights are great if you have one of then you can aim with your hand. or if you have 4 or 5 of them on the roof. if your just going to put 2 on the front of your rig go with driving.
