Auxiliary lighting

In a previous post I said that the plastic cover of the roof connectors is cheap and fragile. What I meant is mainly this ... see the circled parts:

[EDITED]: don't ask questions on the female Deutsch housing plug (with male connectors by the way), this was mine to keep the cap open!

I still reckon that setup looks dodgy as.

If it helps, the distance between the uprights on the bullbar is roughly 80cm. I measured with the thought of putting a lightbar in there. Take it with a grain of salt because I measured using the iPhone measure and it’s not bad but not perfect

Do the boxes just "snap" in under/around the metal bar?

The boxes snap under the metal bar.

Anyone can help with the diameter of the driving lights?

Anyone can help with the diameter of the driving lights?

200 mm

200 mm

Thank you! I actually meant the smaller lights in the middle if you can help too I would appreciate it!

Unfortunately no. I'm not back with my grenadier until Saturday evening. If no one else has responded by then, I'll take care of it.

Outer bezel is 170mm.
Glass 130mm - measured straight across but there is quite a curve in the glass.

Any real world, night driving review of the stock Grenadier auxiliary slights?

Any real world, night driving review of the stock Grenadier auxiliary slights?

They're a pretty decent augment to the already very decent headlights. They aren't a super focused beam pattern (as you would find with a "Spot" beam of aftermarket lights), but definitely are a win for a factory light. Plenty of light thrown both down the road and up far enough to light signs and immediate roadside objects at a distance.

Of course, here in the US, in factory form, you must be in off-road mode to activate them

STEDI Australia has confirmed they do not have any aux driving lights that would be a compatible upgrade to replace the driving lights, but “I will pass this information [my request] onto the Development Team for consideration.”

By driving lights, do you mean high/low beam or the aux driving lights?

The high-low beams being led already, I would have thought after market improvements would be limited.

Can any owners confirm if the aux driving lights are comprable to spot lights or just a bit of an improvement on high beam?

Aux driving lights. Apparantly the ADR restricts how many lumens a manufacturer can emit from these lights.

Lumen or Candela?

two different terminologies for the same thing

Lumens refers to the total amount of light a lighting apparatus emits. The higher the lumens value of a lighting device, the greater the area it illuminates. On the other hand, candela refers to the amount of light emitted by a lighting device in a particular direction.

The lumens unit does not consider the spread or divergence of the light being emitted by the device. But the candela value of a lighting device is concerned primarily with a focused beam of light. For instance, a standard fluorescent light device that emits a wide-spread beam can have a rating of 1,700 lumens and 135 candelas. But if the light emitted from this apparatus narrows and must shine within a 20-degree beam, then its candela value will increase to 18,000.

Candela is another word for candlepower. Candlepower measurement is from times when the candle was the primary source of illumination. The word candlepower was substituted with the term candela in 1948. One candela is approximately equal to the light that a candle with specific dimensions, produces. In this context it is worth mentioning that the term Maximum Beam Candlepower (MBCP) is often used to refer to the maximum intensity of the focused beam of light emitted usually from the center of the lighting device, which is usually the source, and projected in a single direction.

Not exactly the same. And if they talk about Lumen, which of the four Lumen typs of a single light is meant? Candela is the same, because it is defined outside the light. Depending of the lens or reflector, you can not see Lumen and candela as the same, as Candela, as you also wrote, is directed. If you have a lot of Lumen concentrated to a certain point, the Candela value in other directionscan be lower.

The reference value which limits high beam is not by chance a substitution for Candela, not Lumen. Reference value 100, the top limit, is the substitute within the UN-ECE for 430000 Candela.
