Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at and show you how to install the Optronics 16 and 1/2 inch long LED offroad light bar. This is the mixed beam offering both spot and flood with double row LED's. Part number is UCL21CB.Now here's a really good example of the effectiveness that we get out of a light bar such as this. As you can see, we've got just our standard headlights on down there. They do a fair job of lighting the trail ahead of you. But once you turn that light bar on, makes a world of difference.
Really is going to brighten up the trail ahead, make sure we get where we're going safely.Now here's what our light bar is going to look like installed and working. As you can see, it delivers a lot of light out of a pretty small compact light bar for that matter. You have both spot and flood beams. The spot beams that we have in the middle are going to be the middle eight. Basically, four on top, four on bottom.
And the reflector is a high polish reflector. So it shoots that light way out in front of us, allowing us to see where we're heading. And then on each side, we're going to have eight more LED's, four on top, four on bottom. And if you notice, that reflector is kind of diffused. What that does, is it spreads that light out over a greater area, giving us that flood effect.
So not only can we see a long way ahead of us, but we'll also be able to see near the ground in front of us and out to both sides.Something else I really like about these lights. You can see these cooling fins on the back. The whole housing's made out of aluminum, so of course it's going to be corrosion resistant. But even though they are LED lights, the do generate heat. These cooling fins help to dissipate that heat much more effectively than what you see out of the other light bars that would just be a strip.
Without that on back, it's going to help everything last much longer and be much more effective.Now it's a nice compact design, but you get a lot of light output. The raw lumens about 5,000 but realistically you'll expect the real world lumens to be around 2,700 or so. You've got 24 total LED's all the way across. The lens itself is going to be very resilient. It's a polycarbonate lens, so we're not going to have to worry about the cracking and braking we used to have with the glass. And overall, it'll hold up to any of the little rock chips and stuff like that, that will probably going to put it through.Now of course with offroad lights, we want something that's going to be moisture and dust resistant. This light does have that IP 65 rating. So we can be sure it's going to give us years of good service. We're not going to have to worry about moisture or dust getting in behind that lens causing us issues. Now the lights also designed to work with both the 12 and 24 volt electrical systems. So you should be in good shape regardless of how you got your rig set up.Now with the overall quality and feel of the light are right in line with what we see out of even much more expensive LED style light bars. This uses a traditional style LED. It has surface mount technology which is going to help keep it durable. It kind helps to isolate the vibrations and stuff that you're typically subjected to. But when you go to like a vision x light, much, much more expensive but they do use Cree LED technology which tends to be the most reliable. Not saying this isn't going to be a very good and effective long lasting light. Just saying sometimes those higher end lights do have more options available.Now overall we're going to have 16 and 1/2 inches from side to side on our light. It's going to be about four and 7/8 of an inch tall. The light bar itself is going to be 13 and 1/4 inches wide. Three and 1/2 inches tall and about three and 1/2 inches deep.Now for installing our light, we've got the brackets on each side, which are going to allow us to attach and the hardware to do that. Depending on your application, we've got an Arctic Cat here. We're going to be installing it on. You may need to provide some additional hardware. Whatever your attachment point's going to be, you want to be sure you have the accommodations for that. Something else we recommend in the install side is a relay harness. This one happens to be from Blazer, part number is MM510.What this allows us to do is take all of the power from running through our switch. Without a relay installed, when you switch your light on all the power goes through the switch itself and generally they wear out very quickly. With the relay harn
