All right. This video is going to be a very basic review of Rigid Industries' D-Series
lighting. We get a lot of questions about these. They're a very popular product, but
most people just don't know which one to buy.
One thing we would definitely suggest doing is jumping on our website. We'll throw a link
up to it right here. But there's all kinds of graphs and patterns. I'm going to set that
light down and show you what's on the back of one of these boxes real quick.
But you'll see on the back of this box right here, there's four different light patterns.
Just about every light that Rigid offers has some sort of light pattern graph like that
that you can look at to really get a judge of what light is going to be best for you,
just depending on your application.
You know, are you going to be in the field where you need a wider spectrum of light,
or are you going to be on the trails where you really want to see way down the trail
to know what's coming up in front of you? So, a lot of different questions like that
that you'll need to answer internally before you buy, but hopefully, this video will give
you a little bit better grasp on what is going to suit your needs.
So, we'll just start right down here with our Duallys. These are the original D-Series
light. Very basic. This is just the flood, a very popular light. It's got a good length
with good width, so it's very popular because it meets a lot of people's needs that are
in that mid-range.
And then, we'll move right down to the Diffusion. Now, if you're really looking at these, you'll
notice they look very similar except that the lens on the Diffusion, obviously, that's
the Diffusion material right there. That's the biggest difference, but other than that,
those lights are basically the exact same. The Diffusion material just creates a little
bit wider spectrum. It keeps more of the light up close, so you don't have nearly as far
with the reach, but you have a little bit brighter light right up close. We get a lot
of requests for this Diffusion material, especially for our farmers and our combine drivers. Really
good for field work.
Now, what we get more questions on anymore are the D2, the driving lights. You'll see
these right here. Now, if you notice, one thing that should stand out to you immediately,
a difference between the D2s and the Duallys here, is that the D2s have six lights whereas
the Duallys have four.
Now, you'll also notice, if you're looking at it, that the actual hole ... I'm sure there's
a fancy word for that, but we're going to just call it the light hole, is a lot smaller
for the D2 than it is for the original Duallys.
As far as that, the D2s are supposed to have a little bit farther reach than what the Duallys
do. The Duallys are supposed to be a little bit brighter right up front. We'll let you
determine that when we do our comparison videos later. There'll be all kinds of links to those
at the end of this video, so just stay tuned to the video and you'll get links to comparison
video, driving videos, things of that nature.
And lastly, we'll move right on down to our D2, the Wide. We'll hold that one up for you.
Now, and I've tried several different ways to be able to show this, but it's very hard
to get lighting to work for you on here. But if you notice the difference between the D2
Driving and the D2 Wide. The only difference is, our magic word again, the light hole has
a different angle or an exit angle coming out of there. So, clearly, the biggest difference
between those two lights is just going to be the reflection coming out of there.
Now, the Wide versus during the Drive. The Wide, obviously, is wider. It doesn't have
near the reach. It's also a more ... I'm trying to think of a word to say it. It's also a
broader pattern than what the diffused lighting is for the D2s. So, that's what most people
go with, is one of those two lights.
Now, you'll notice we didn't show you spotlights for either one. Spotlights are pretty self-explanatory.
Most people know what they're going to do, what they're getting. We will make one statement
about them, and it's that the D2 offers the Hyperspot, which is a lot longer reaching
spotlight than the Duallys are. So, might keep that in mind if you are wanting to purchase
a spot. The Dually spotlight is slightly broader of a light spectrum.
So, that should cover us on the D-Series lighting. Like I said, we're going to do comparison
videos where we compare the two D2s, the Driving versus the Wide. We're going to compare the
Flood versus the Diffused. And then, we're going to cross them. We're going to compare
the Wide versus the Diffused and the Driving versus the Flood. So, should give you a really
good idea of what light you need, what pattern you're going to get, and what it's going to
look like on your vehicle.
