In my opinion - amazon or even ebay are both great places to buy.
LED lights have come down almost 75% in the last 2 years. They are dirt cheap and work extremely well. Low current draw and last for damn near forever.
Light bars are a little higher but you still cannot beat the light for the amount of $$$$$ spent.
I was going to engineer my own, but looked at turnkey from ropslights and seemed a much cleaner solution. Great service, and great product. Easy install.
The first year I had my tractor I got a 20" light bar(I'd have to measure it..might be 18" or 24") from Amazon. I also bought two square cube Led's from Amazon. I attached the light bar to the rop with large hose clamps around the brackets. I have it facing forward and put the cube light rear facing. But with the rop down, the light bar is facing backwards of course.
With a light bar. You'll have more light then you can imagine.

Oh...your in NH Matty....my uncle had his ashes spread in Wolfboro bay(his favorite fishing spot) back in 1980. I remember it well.
Are you native NH or from away ?

I bought from Amazon, 1800 luminens X2 for about $35 lots a light, but I also put one on my chute so I can see when I rotate it in the dark. But I put a power seat motor for rotation and a hydraulic actuator on the chute deflector for about $125. Now it moves and the deflector operates at the flick of a switch - very slick

For $100 I got a 20" 126w LED Flood light bar and 6 18w (1260 lumen) LED spot lights. I mounted to light bar facing forward and 2 spot lights facing forward at 45 degrees to light the sides of the tractor. The other 4 spot lights face backward, 2 straight back and 2 at 45 degrees to get the sides facing backward. I did not realize how much light these things throw and it lights up everything. I also got a small switch that I plan to use to turn the LED lights on separately from the main tractor lights, right now they all come on when the tractor lights come on.
I bought from ropslights. Great product, great service, and superb fit and finish on the installation. Highly recommended.
Ive email John at Ropslights with questions .Its amazing the email response back esp on a weekend. Thanks for the info

Yes. I finally uploaded pictures to the "Post your ROPS light mounting pics" topic (2 posts). If this link works it should bring you there: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?p=205560#post205560
Thanks for posting your link on this forum..Pics are great! Ya no problem seeing at night lol.
I couldn't agree more. I ordered a set for my BX2670 on a Sunday morning and was astonished to receive an email from John before noon thanking me for my order and saying they would be shipped first thing Monday.
Ordered on a Sunday, arrived the following Friday. I ordered the 2 double LED kits and John even threw in an adapter to join both kits together before plugging into the tractor's wiring harness. Wire length was a perfect fit for the BX. Install was straight forward and simple. I couldn't be happier.No kidding thats awesome..Let me know how you like them
