What are people's choices for roof rack mounted lights?

[parb]

I'm planning to put some lights up high on the roof rack. I have the Baja xl80s in my grill as an upgrade from the original off-road lights and they are pretty good.

I want to wire the roof lights to the 25a circuit up on the roof.

These seems to be my choices:
KC hilites, 45" gravity titan bar. 23 amp draw
Baja S8 Straight LED Light Bar combo 50", 20 amp draw
Or 2 LP9 sport lights. 19 amp
4 Rigid 360-Series 6 inch, 2 drive and 2 spot. 24 amp draw if my math is correct

What else is out there that works. I really don't need the backlit stuff but it seems I can't avoid it.

With the Baja xl80's did you purchase them with a mounting kit for the Grenadier and replace the factory aux lights?

For the roof light bar this is what I am looking at:

LAZER LINEAR-48 ELITE​

Linear-48 Elite

Representing the very best in slimline auxiliary high beam driving lights, the Linear range utilises a combination of highly efficient 3W LEDs and vacuum-metallised wide optics to deliver a perfectly tuned beam pattern for everyday road use. Measuring just 40mm in height, the Linear range is an...

I will call them with some questions after the weekend - like which side does the power lead come out of as this is obscured in the images and the supplied cable length is only 50cm.

On another link I found reference to the high beam lead but as yet not tested. It is the yellow/green going into the main lights and CANBUS not used for the lights.

The spec says it pulls 25.3 amps of power. That's over the limit for the roof power. or are you planning on getting power some other way to the bar?
This one looks more applicable to the available power:

Linear-42 Elite

The Linear-42 Elite utilizes highly efficient 3W LEDs which combine to deliver 33,300 raw lumens, and 1 lux to 765m, with power consumption of just 355W. The lamp weighs 7.7lbs and with its aerodynamic, sleek design, makes a perfect roof mount solution with virtually undetectable additional wind...

I also like the 7" lights. 6 of those gets you to 24 amps.

I got my Baja 80s with the agile off-road kit.

.3 amps over is no issue.

I’ve put three of these on my Rhino Rack platform (mounted on the GrenX brackets on the sides and to the rack itself on the rear).
Huge output and minimal current draw.

Mind posting a picture of the linear elite 42 on your truck?
I'm considering them as well. They look really well designed to avoid glare on the hood with great control of reflectivity.

Since they are really low profile how far out from the bumper do they hit the ground without creating glare in the bonnet in your estimate?

I'll get a couple of photos tonight.

Cool thanks! I've been emailing with the US triple -r technical rep. Super nice guy. He really recommended linear for the roof rack. Says it controls vertical directivity really well to avoid glare off the hood and reaches farther out than the sentinels.

Given than the 48" version is 25.3 amp I'm entertaining the idea that maybe I should get that and a 26A fuse...

If you have time, would you mind taking a pic of yours mounted?

Pic 1 - Mounted using channel on Bison Gear 3/5 roof rack behind safari window.

Pic 2 - Lights on - no high beam

Pic 3 - Lights on - high beam

Pic 4 - Lights on - high beam and Lazer Linear 42"
No issues with light coming through safari windows or reflecting off bonet.

That is legit!
Beautiful mounting too, very clean.
Is that the linear or linear elite?

Fwiw, you've sold me. Just going to figure out if I go for the 24.7A version or the 25.3A version...
I googled a bit and I can find a 26A fuse, it is so close to 25A that I think the cables will be fine and not too much loss in them.

 

[Korg]

The order states Linear-42 Elite SKU: 0L42-EL-LNR. I was going to go with the 48" and not worry about the fuse, however their tech department said that they draw up to 30amp briefly on turn on. Also note that the power lead comes out of the wrong side of the unit and is too short to reach the roof 25amp so it needed to be extended and a deutsch plug attached. No big deal but something to be aware of. The wiring loom and relay that comes with the unit I have redeployed elsewhere. Very happy with the light.

 

[parb]

Thanks so much. Super helpful advise. You just connected it, no changes of fuses or worries about inrush current with the 42 inch version?
