Ken Block: How Much Light is TOO MUCH light?

[@wide36_vert]

Ken is a man of excess. One minute; “this is too much light” drives like a maniac with the lights for one minute; “THIS IS AMAZING”

[@Avetho]

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

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.

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

In this test the difference between stock headlights and the Adapt light bars is an 11.17% decrease in time. 'All the lights' compared to stock is an overall 15.15% decrease in time. Running all the lights on a course like the Baja 1000 increasing driver confidence at night and giving that time boost would be a huge advantage.

Consider the psychological effects of running the round 3 separate times. Each time your memory of the track improves so you can anticipate what you need to do to make the trip quicker. However I will say there are obvious improvements to visibility. Also what I think gives some serious heft to this test is that Ken is naturally ballsy so he can rely on his instincts to get him through quickly even on his first time running a course with stock lights. Just some food for thought.

[@Maddog165]

This video is certainly not covering all kinds of driving conditions. There definitely is times when too much light is bad. I.E. dense fog, dust , heavy snow, blowing/drifting snow. Also where you mount your bright lightbars can be a big deal for when it’s effective. Mounting lights above the windshield can be an issue. It makes it hard to see through dense fog, snow harder, causing eye strain, also it creates glare off the vehicles hood. It might not be a problem if you have other light bars mounted lower on a bumper or in the grill. Where you can go without it. But if it’s the only light you plan on mounting. Lower light is more functional. Also the beam pattern is possibly the most important decision to make. Spot lights are good, if accompanied by flood/driving lights. Spot light beams are nothing useful in dense fog or heavy snow.
