[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Tell Primelux that they have a new customer. those are amazing Martin. Thanks for sharing this.

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Gary! Glad to hear it, and I’m sure Primelux will be too. Yes, I think they’re amazing too. I wasn’t expecting them to be as good as they are but I’m sure glad they are. They are my new standard for work lights. Thanks for watching!

[@watershedoverlook]

Martin, you're gonna' end up costing me a fortune! I haven't even received the mirrors that I ordered yet and now I need to rethink my ROPS lights! 😉👍

[@DIYMyWay]

Ha ha! No need to thank me Chris. I’m always glad to help you spend your money! Thanks for watching!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

I was feeling the same way. Martin is going to have to break off into another channel for guys like me. More of a Martin light or something.

You definitely get what you pay for. Thanks for the comparison videos.

[@DIYMyWay]

You sure do, Joseph! Thanks for the visit!

Thanks for sharing this, Martin. I haven't even put lights on yet but I still plan to do it eventually. Cheers!

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi David! You really should install some good LED lights on your tractor. It’s really nice to have the flexibility to work into the evening when needed. I don’t do it that often but when I need to, I have a bright 360 degree view. Thanks for watching!

[@qfdforme]

Quite a difference. Impressive.

[@burresscounty]

Wow! Very impressive!

[@rodbagley1686]

I put a 2 foot long light bar aimed toward the front and two more 4 inch led lights on magnets aimed toward the back. I have about 15 foot extra cord on one of the 4 inch lights so I can take it off and aim it at the tractor or put it on the backhoe bucket. Basically put it anyplace I want. That works real good for the unexpected. Thanks for your videos and reviews.

[@DIYMyWay]

Sounds like you’ve got a good setup, Rod. I like the idea of a light on a magnet and extension wire. Thanks for watching!

[@dwayneloftice2326]

Those look like "the ticket"! I now know which lights to buy!

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Dwayne! Yes, I think they are “the ticket”. I’m really impressed with how much light they put out and at such a wide angle from such a small package. Thanks for watching!

[@dwayneloftice2326]

@@DIYMyWay ....Martin, I'm going to order 4 of that same model to point two to the rear and two to the front for "Illumination Maximus". My wife will have to sleep with a blindfold while I do my night-time tractor work. Less wind at that time for more effective spraying of my grape crop but will certainly have light all around me. It's....OK.....she already knows I'm already ((crazy))!

[@johnmedlin5894]

Wow, thanks for sharing your great review Martin. I had seen these very same lights on Amazon Prime before, but as always, I was reluctant because I didn't know how bright or how well the quality was. This review definitely helped me to make my mind up on getting a pair of them. Great video review!

[@DIYMyWay]

Thank you, John! Glad it was helpful!

[@whiz3528]

Lights are great. On another subject, floor mats, Kubota is now offering rubber floor mats, but I made mine before Kubota offered them. I made mine from rubber stall mats from Tractor Supply for $29.00 for both left and right mats. Cut patterns and cut matting with a utility knife. Mats are close to an inch thick. Protect your paint and creates a non-slip surface.

[@keithrayeski3147]

Don’t shoot the messenger BUT….like night and day!! 😁👊🏻 Made in America? I may check them out…I’m in the market for lights to trick out my new Kioti. I do so much enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing!!

[@DIYMyWay]

Ha! I already used that line in a previous video, but it does apply! No, made in China but they seem well made. Thanks for watching!

[@jimbennett1519]

Man those are nice. I think I may just get a couple sets of those for the 2038R

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Jim! Yes, they are amazing for their size. Thanks for watching!

[@samengler539]

Nice video test Martin. I have front and rear leds on my tractor. Thinking about adding side lights and two Led lights on the boom of my BH77 back hoe. Right now I’m adding a expanded thumb on it right now. But I waited 4 months to get the thumb from expanded so I was bored and thinking gee it would be nice to have that hydraulic thumb. So I ordered a third function valve from summit and now I’m working on that project, soon to be finished.

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Sam! Thank you! Yes, I’ve toyed with adding hydraulics to my thumb as well. I may actually do it some day. Good luck with your project and thanks for watching!

[@samengler539]

@@DIYMyWay I have to do some special machining to the cylinder I couldn’t find anyone that has the 3 o’clock port position with 1” barrel ends. So I had to cut them off the cylinder end and turn it weld it on. The thumb part I needed to machine the pin with the long 5/8 bolt thru it to fit the cylinder. That’s all done just getting ready to order my hoses. It makes thing easy when I have a full machine shop to work with.. looking forward to your next video. Cheers

[@samengler539]

I’m going to use your aux fuse box idea and add one on. Great tip Martin.

[@DangusSquatburger]

I've been needing some work lights for the L2501, and this review sold me on these. I mounted them to magnets and left some slack in the wiring so I could move them around on the ROPS as needed. With one facing forward and one to the rear, it's more than enough light all around. Facing both in the same direction just might burn a hole in the atmosphere.

[@DIYMyWay]

Glad you like them, Dangus! The magnets are a good idea. “Burn a hole in the atmosphere” 😀🤣👍 Thanks for watching!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

Hey there Martin!!! There is no doubt that LED work lights are the way to go and the technology is improving all the time as is shown buy the comparison pictures you've show. The new lights are some bright and I like that the beam angle is greater than 90 degrees. That is a big plus for work lights eh!! They sure look good. Nice!! Thanks for sharing and take care!!!

[@DIYMyWay]

HI Mike! Yep, these are surprisingly powerful lights for their size and have a wonderfully wide beam angle. Thanks for watching!

[@rfb7117]

Martin. I have work lights on the front and back of my tractor and think they are a great help. I'm going to see if I can exchange my out for these, they look really great. Thanks, Bob

[@DIYMyWay]

I hope you have good luck with them, Bob! I’ll probably get two more for the side lights and maybe even two more for the front. Thanks for watching!

[@bryantjones8039]

Excellent video. Now if we could just get them to send me a set to try out as well. 😅🙏🏼

[@DIYMyWay]

Thank you, Bryant! Well, you don't know until you ask. Thanks for watching!

[@craigerpc]

Great video..I’m curious why most tractors don’t use a massive led light bar front and back…and small lights to the side like the ones in this video. Keep up the great videos

[@DIYMyWay]

Thanks! They should but they don’t, so I did.

[@MarkChristopherpens]

Really enjoy all your videos, thanks for posting them! I see you have what appears to be a camera holder on your rightside ROPS. Is that magnetically attached or a drilled hole? I am trying to sort out what I need to my my camera so I can get some tractoring videos out. Thanks, Mark Cheers from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦

[@DIYMyWay]

Thank you, Mark! It’s magnetic. I have a right angle one and a straight one plus a clamp-on one and various extensions. So I can get most any angle I want. Good luck!

[@keithrayeski3147]

You should add them to YOUR Amazon store package. Still shows the old ones…

[@DIYMyWay]

I will. Just haven’t done it yet.

[@-Dave-is-not-here]

Nice lights Martin, these are very close to what I installed on my New Holland mine have a 170 degree arc and a combo spot flood setup and put out 8000 lumens mine are slightly larger 4" square so the smaller size could be handy as well. I will keep them on the list incase I ever need more or new ones. The one thing I hate about lights at night is how they draw bugs, I have almost considered yellow lights but the way they still flock to my other house lights with yellow I doubt it would work. If anyone has tried it, it would be nice to know if it would work.

[@DIYMyWay]

Thanks, Dave! 8000 lumens! Impressive. Yep, bugs are a problem for sure, unless you wait until it's past their bedtime. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@chuckpoole2606]

Hey Martin, I really enjoy your videos. Can you tell me where you got your led light brackets that you installed these lights on? Thanks

[@DIYMyWay]

Thank you, Chuck! I made them. You can see how in this video: Kubota Tractor Mod: ROPS LED Lights (#50) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oonJm2aQgbCjobc

[@jimmcknight3021]

My biggest gripe on the early LED lights was the blue in them rather than white. Do you think this totally eliminated the blue cast?

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Jim! Yeah, me too. These certainly aren't as warm as incandescent bulbs, but they are much more pleasing to my eye than the 6500K color that so many work lights and driving lights have. Thanks for watching!

[@randydavis5912]

I like the work lights, they are much needed. But with them that close, the bugs terrible. Anyone else have that problem?

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Randy! The solution is simple: don’t use the lights at night. 😃😄🤣😐 Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Thanks for watching!

[@randydavis5912]

@@DIYMyWay I thought of that lol

[@oioi310i]

Hey Martin, I want to get in contact with the Primelux company so I can buy in larger bulk orders from them aside from Amazon but I am unable to find any contact information for them anywhere. Their Website is seemingly on perma under construct. Do you have any contact information for this company you could share? Thanks

[@DIYMyWay]

If you will contact me through my website contact page (diymyway.net/contact/) I will reply with the email of the Primelux person who contacted me. Perhaps they can help you. Good luck and thanks for watching!

[@slugcatcher5558]

How much current do these draw?

[@DIYMyWay]

2A each.

[@slugcatcher5558]

@@DIYMyWay Thanks for the reply. Is that actual measured current or just the claimed spec? All of these lights are overrated on power consumption. I've yet to find a 24W light that pulled more than 1A and this is a good thing. I'd like to use the work light circuit on my Kubota but it is only 7.5A and using 4 of these and a 12" bar light would be too much if they really draw 2A. Really like your channel btw.

[@DIYMyWay]

That is spec but I think it actually accurate. I first tested one on a bench power supply with a max current of 2A and it went into current limit when I hooked the light up. You can get around the 7.5A by adding an auxiliary fuse block like I did. There’s a video of it in the Kubota Tractor Mods playlist. Glad you like my channel! Thanks for watching!

[@slugcatcher5558]

@@DIYMyWay Nice to a see a mfg actually meeting their claimed spec. Thanks again.
