For Fog/Rain - how would this pair up with the Dually Floodlight? Would the "Dispersed" light be better with the filter for fog/rain?

The filter makes the light less glare to coming traffic, also in the rain and fog, you could see the road better with this filter on, white light see nothing in the rain

The flood light is really going to limit how far you will be able to see as it does not reach out as far as the driving or spot patterns. For up close it will work well, the Amber light does not reflect back any where near as harshly in rain/fog/snow as the regular light does making it easier to see past the reflected light. As a side note the Amber does a nice job in dust as well.

There are 2 factors to consider: a) Color; b) Optics. Fog lights are by definition yellow-ish, as that has more penetration power in fog environment. When it comes to optics, fog lights (e.g. Hella 500 fog) have a horizontal light pattern to avoid reflection on the drivers eye line thanks to the fog. I'm a bit concerned if the spreaded flood light wouldn't create reflections on such scenario. In any case, the filter is *always* good for rain/fog.

Perfectly fine, as long as it is mounted lower on the vehicle, I have my Dually D2s mounted off windshield but they are not the fog version, put this Amber filter on them just to diffused the light a bit & with less eye stressing Amber light for snowy night time driving.

There is a slight difference in the shape of the reflector behind the bulb, but it's not easily detectable. The distortion of the lens pretty much disguises the difference. No one I showed the new fog lamp ever saw the difference unless I pointed it out to them.

I fully agree with your idea. I bought a "Wide Angle Lens for MagicShine, Gemini, and many other Bike Lights / Headlight" by ACTION LED LIGHTS about a year ago and have been very happy with it. With the light you are looking at, it can replace the original flat glass lens or fit over it. You unscrew the metal ring that holds the lens over the LED bulb, replace the lens with the diffuser (or put the diffuser over the lens) and screw the ring back on being sure that the rubber o-ring stays in position and the bars molded into the diffuser stay vertical. Easier to do than to explain. Pattern is quite even and spread is good for bike paths and roads. Might be a little narrow still for boonie-crashing. Preserves weather seal on the lamp if you are careful with the o-ring. not bad for five bucks!

That would be a horrible position to mount this type of fog light. The beam pattern would pretty much get lost that high up, and all you'd accomplish would be to dazzle other drivers. Fog lights should be mounted as close to the ground as possible. They have a very flat beam with a sharp cutoff, designed to get under the fog layer (there's usually a clear layer of air between the road surface and the fog) and illuminate the road without reflecting back in your eyes.

Good morning FA Cabs - This is a very strong and highly efficient lighting fixture. What lamp do you currently have in your floodlight? I look forward to continue to assist you with this - Abraham

Yes. I live in Florida and my two lights get blasted with rain all the time. No issues whatsoever.

I have installed two outside in a lighting fixture similar to the "Nautical Outdoor Burnished Bronze 8 in. Outdoor Wall Light" sold on Amazon.com, mine was purchased locally . The fixtures protect the lights from direct rain and are inside a glass globe, however it is not sealed with a gasket.They run from dusk to dawn on a timer. To date I have had zero issues.

As far as your fog lamp is HB4/9006 it will work fine. At the end of te day it is up to you whether use it as fog light or primary lowbeam

By itself this light will probably not provide enough light for your needs (2 of them may do the job). I have found the umbrella on this not to be very effective at dispersing the light, and I am currently planning on replacing it. I would suggest spending a little more for a better lighting setup.

Nope - it is an individual (either side) light. I had the same question, but the fog lights did work out perfectly and fit into the OEM inclosure smoothly.

I'd go with a much stronger filter. 1.8 maybe. Don't stack you'll just be begging for light scatter shooting in to a light source like that.

The light seals into the housing tightly. I have had mine rained on many times with no issues, I am not sure about sprinklers if the water comes from an upward angle but I think everything would be fine.

i have been using several of the Philips led bulbs above and have had good luck with them. They are rated 'wet location' but some led flood outdoor lamps are rated 'damp location' which is not as high a rating for outdoor use with the possibility of direct rain.

Basically, they are saying not to use it on a light that is out of doors, in the weather. I would imaging they are concerned that fog, mist, dew or rain would eventually enter into the module; and short it out, causing a potential fire. If you are planning to use the spot light outside, where it is unprotected (i.e.; under the eves of the porch, mounted indside an enclosed porch, etc.), you may want to consider something that is weather sealed (water tight).

I would not recommend these lights. They have allready taken in water and foged up on the inside lense. My angle was about 20.

I've used this in rain and it works okay but it should be designed to stay on its bracket a bit better. The bracket that comes with the light was mounted on my Panier Rack and the light doesn't seem to be on that solid. It snaps on but it did come off once after I hit a small hole on the street. The light works well enough in the rain and the snap on function to the supplied bracket is easy for mounting and dismounting of the light.

Sorry to say that it is not waterproof. I bought this light for duck hunting, where we walk around in a flooded marsh. There is often drizzle, fog or rain. Thankfully, I have not tripped and caused the light to go underwater. Even so, it was getting fogged up inside the clear lens after each outing. I then applied silicone sealant around the clear lens and around the right and left aluminum heat exchangers. I also wrapped the front bezel assembly with tape, where the black bezel meets the gray body. This has prevented the light from fogging up! Hope this helps someone!
