Ken Block: How Much Light is TOO MUCH light?

Is there a such thing as too much light? On today's episode, we use some high speed science to answer that question. I teamed up with Rigid Industries (who provided over 300,000 lumens of bolt on lighting) and took my SVC Offroad Ford Raptor to the middle of the Utah desert in the middle of the night to find out if more light = more speed!
This also happens to be the very first full-look at my SVC Offroad built Ford Raptor since it’s most recent round of upgrades. We sent it out to SVC to get an all new wide-body by Fiberwerks (painted by LNC Motorsports), new reflective graphics inspired by my 2020 race livery by Troy Lee Designs, rad custom Borla Exhaust system, more suspension upgrades, a new bed cage setup, and a fabricated F9 rear-end with a locker and full float axles by Currie Enterprises. It also features my brand new “Block” signature wheels by Fuel Off-Road wrapped in 40” Toyo Tires!

You need one switch labeled "THE SUN", which is connected to all the lights in your vehicle.

Or just “DAYTIME”

Its a collapsing star. Like, there needs to be a light bar on the market called the Collapsing Star that puts out over 100k lumens. On to my rambling okay, The current brightest individual bar on the market as far as I can see is the Vision X XIL-PX9010 at 47520 lumens (raw lumens not effective lumens at 33k) and it draws a monstrous 37.5 amps at 12 volts. But that thing has a 10 degree beam and costs like 2200 USD. You'd need a dedicated 100 amp alternator to run a 100k lumen bar, which since the light would come from one bar as the source, it really would be a collapsing star, it'd be a constant flashbang of light, considering that a flashbang is 2600 lumens from a small point source and across a huge light bar 100k would probably equal a similar intensity to a flashbang. Though the heat would be absurd. Okay I'm done rambling XD

[@TheTkrum]

In 2006 I had linear actuators and photo electric sensors steering my adaptive light bar on my Funco. Same year Mercedes/BMW came out with a similar adaptive lighting method. Lights steer when the car steers allowing the light to bend through the turn. Position of each light was crucial. The up/down/left/right override was clutch. I could drive forward and hang the lights hard right to see camps as I was driving at night through the dunes. However the the function of being able to lift or lower the lights was crucial for climbing the big dunes at Glamis. Can’t believe I’ve never seen anyone else do this.

[@stevenregister9787]

This raptor is so sick. And the wide body and lift makes the 40s looks stock and super clean! Definitely is an awesome drive for sure I bet!!!!

Its funny you say that because most new cars have an auto light sensor that turns their lights off when it is bright enough and my light bar is bright enough to trigger it. Bmws are really easy to trigger it so instead of blinding everyone, they get no lights

@@chrisbeatty743 I don't think the light sensor is nearly as sensitive as it should be (or as I perceive it should be) in all those new cars.

I would have liked another run at stock ligthts at the end to cancel out learning the course over time. I bet the time would improve somewhat. But hey! More light is more better. I would also like to have seen some comparison between high mounted lights vs lower mounted, thinking about the shadows cast and what it does to visualize the bumps better. As mentioned, a lot of light flattens the terrain.
