TRAIL TECH
LIGHT: Equinox LED
BULB TYPE: LED
SPREAD: Medium distance
MOUNT: Single post mount or frame clamp
WHAT WE THINK: Trail Tech’s LED lights draw minimal power, are bright and have a good spread, but the throw isn’t as far as some of the better halogens.
PRICE: $289.95 a pair

TRAIL TECH
LIGHT: Eclipse HID
BULB TYPE: 35-watt HID
SPREAD: Long distance
MOUNT: Single post mount or frame clamp
WHAT WE THINK: The HID MR16 Eclipse lights are the same size as the LED lights, but have a longer throw pattern and draw more power. They are a strong light, with one flood and one spot pattern to fill the trail nicely.
PRICE: $374.95 a pair

WARN
LIGHT: WXT400 HID
BULB TYPE: 40W HID
SPREAD: Very long distance
MOUNT: Single post mount or frame clamp
WHAT WE THINK: Warn’s WXT400 lights are a claimed 300 percent brighter than a 55-watt halogen bulb, and the light emitted from the pair of 4-inch lights shows it. If you’re looking for distance, look here.
PRICE: $407.97 a pair

WARN
LIGHT: Halogen Trail Light
BULB TYPE: 35-watt halogen H3
SPREAD: Short distance
MOUNT: Four-bolt flat mount
WHAT WE THINK: The Warn Trail Lights are an inexpensive way to get a little more light on your ATV or UTV. The 110-degree spread isn’t super bright, but it offers lighting power near stock-light power to increase the spread.
PRICE: $47.60 a pair

PIAA
LIGHT: 510 ATP
BULB TYPE: 35-watt halogen
SPREAD: Medium distance
MOUNT: Single post mount
WHAT WE THINK: The PIAA 510s have a good throw and spread pattern, and they work well for ATV use at medium speeds. Not a high-speed light, but effective when spaced properly.
PRICE: $289.95 a pair

Caption 1 We mounted up all the lights for testing on our Brute Force 750i so we could test them back to back on the same trails, on the same night.

MOOSE

BULB TYPE: 1.5 million candlepower halogen
SPREAD: Long-distance spot
MOUNT: Swiveling rack mount
WHAT WE THINK: Moose’s spotlight produces a super-bright, 1.5 million candlepower that plugs into a 12-volt charging port. It’s easy to install, inexpensive, and versatile.
PRICE: $49.95
