Review on 🚚 Nilight 37Inch 780W Triple Row Flood Spot Combo Bar - High-Intensity Waterproof LED Work Light for Off-Road Truck Car ATV SUV Jeep Cabin Boat, 78000LM, 2-Year Warranty by Brendan Baker

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good light - slightly misleading labeling/advertising

First of all - nice bright light for $75. But the downside is the labeling of the product. Revain's product label states "18026C-A 37 780W 78000LM 3 Row Spot Combo Bar." This can be misleading for those unfamiliar with electrical/electronics into believing that this is a 780 watt bulb rated at 78,000 lumen is. draw about 65 amps from DC 12 volts. I hooked it up to my dyno (powered directly from a 12vdc car battery) and connected an ammeter to the circuit. This light draws between 12 and 14 amps, which means it's "about" 144-168 watts. Not bad at $75.00, but a far cry from the 'advertised' 780W (assuming 780W equals 780W). in this case) for your product. Neither Revain nor Nilight have published watts/amps data. Without knowing the watts/amps, the end user may connect the lamps into a circuit that exceeds the ampere rating of the cord being used. This is the leading cause of automotive electrical fires when home repairers try to run too many amps through too thin a wire.

Pros
  • great for me
Cons
