I'm just an offroad and camping junkie that happens to work in the test and measurement field and be a light-geek ---- I was in the right place at the right time to become friends with a few automotive lighting professionals, learn a thing or two, and then establish contacts with a couple of aftermarket manufacturers.
Jerry Lee from TruckLite has been a friend to the Jeep community for a couple of years now. TruckLite has been receptive to input from me/us and this latest generation of lights reflects (pun there...) their ongoing efforts to build what we want and need.
I was excruciatingly honest in my review of their previous generation of LED headlight but they used that as motivation to improve.
I had their offroad lights too, which were great
Here I am, all LED:
These lights are great as they are. But, as I told Jerry recently, I won't call them a home run; they're a stand-up triple.
They
will ice over. LEDs throw their heat rearward and the lights have no provision for circulating air within the housing (JW Speaker has this feature built in).
If you were to polish them every so often with a quality plastic polish like Plexus, I'm sure that snow and road-splooge would have a more difficult time adhering to them.
I'd also like the lens to be an easy-to-replace wear-item. Something that you could change quickly and economically without tools.
I'm hoping that Jerry will join this forum. He's already on a BUNCH of forums and I'm sure that his workday is pretty long and budget thin...
