SteelHead LED Work Light - Flood Beam - 1,100 Lumens - 3" Square - White Aluminum - 12V/24V

Video Transcript for TecNiq SteelHead LED Work Light - Flood Beam Review

Hello neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today we're taking a look at the Tecniq Steelhead LED work lamp. Now this is gonna be available in a black aluminum finish as well as a white aluminum finish. This one in particular is gonna be the flood model. Now, if you're wondering what this lamp looks like powered up, here we have all 1,100 lumens in our flood pattern.

So you can see it's covering a large area. So this is gonna be really nice if you're hanging outside your truck or camper and you wanna just illuminate a large area. That way you can hang out with your friends or work on a wide area. Now it's not as concentrated as a beam, as a spot beam would be, but those are also available if you want that light to be focused in a smaller pattern. Now the lights are sold individually but they obviously work well as a pair.

As we have both of these running your right now. You can actually add plenty of lights to them to really cover a large area. It's really gonna make that flood pattern. You can double it up and with that pedestal mount you can adjust it to really cover a large span of area with that 1,100 lumens. Now, with the lights running as a pair you can see the flood pattern literally doubles and you can cover a massive area.

So just those two lights alone on this camper means that you can have a whole area well illuminated. So you and all your friends can hang out or you can have it mounted up on your truck, you'll be able to work in a large, large area. Now taking a closer look at the light you're gonna see there's four diodes that are creating our 1,100 lumens and the light space here is three by three. So it's pretty compact for the amount of light that it outputs. Now it's all housed in a black aluminum powder coat finish.

It's also available in a white aluminum as well. And that's gonna make sure that the out side of this light is gonna hold up to the elements over time. Now in conjunction with that, we're actually gonna have a seal here creating a waterproof protection on the light. So you can leave this out in the elements, on the outside of your vehicle or camper. And it's gonna hold up for a long time. Now, going along with that durability there's also a military grade circuit board and that's gonna allow for vibration, moving of the light over time, and it's not gonna knock those wires loose. It's gonna stay working properly. Now integrated into the housing is this nice heat sink here. And that's gonna help dissipate any heat created by the light preventing any heat related damages from occurring. Now you'll also see, we saw earlier that we could adjust this light and that's due to this pedestal style mount. And that's gonna allow you to put it to any kind of bracket here. As long as you have a hole that this bolt goes through it's gonna work well. So this one is on a roof rack. There's also a bunch of brackets available here at etrailer for custom fit on the certain vehicles. But really if you have any solid surface, you should be able to out this bolt onto a solid surface to screw that down. It's got a locking washer on the bottom there and it's gonna hold tight. Now, as far as installation goes, mounting it's gonna be very simple as we just explained. And also, so is the wiring, it's just two wires. And while we're talking about that let's actually take a look at how to get this installed in our camper that we have here. Now we're gonna be installing this six LED floodlight. But if you pick up a different variety of LED lights they're gonna have the same two wire installations. So following this is gonna be pretty much identical to what you'll be doing with your LED light. To begin your install you're gonna want to find a place to tie into power and ground. Now this particular camper has a distribution panel that has a switch already into it. So we're gonna be using this but if you don't have a distribution panel there's plenty of switches available here. And that's gonna allow you to turn that on and off and cut that power whenever you don't want those lights to be on. But you are gonna need to tie into that power out of your battery as well as the negative to get these to work. Now, we already have our switch installed but if you we're to wire up your own switch here's an idea of kind of how it's gonna look. You're gonna have your two wires coming from your battery your positive and negative. And those are simply gonna tie into the same spade connector, as your wiring that's gonna go to the light itself and really your switch is just a disconnect. Doing this is gonna allow that power to actually create a full circuit. And when you close that off, it's gonna shut it off here. So pretty easy. So if you need to wire up your switch here's a nice diagram on how to do that. Then from your switch, you're gonna want to run a positive and negative duplex wire to wherever your mounting location be. So on our camper, we're actually putting it on the back here on our rhino rack. If you have a truck maybe you're putting it on your headache bar or your front push bar, whatever it may be. So make sure that you have enough wire to be able to run there. And if you need to pick some up we actually have some here at etrailer. Now, the next thing that you're gonna want to do is determine how you want to mount your light. And here we actually have a heavy duty bracket specifically for the rhino rack that goes in the track here, which is really nice. Now you may not have this identical rack which there's plenty of other options available for a mounting bracket. And really all you need to do is make sure that this is actually run through and clamped on. You can see, I've actually added a washer here just for a little bit of extra bite. So if you we're mounting it on to a solid surface maybe the roof here, you could actually just drill down run that through and make sure that that tightens up. This is a carriage bolt style up top on the bolt. So that's nice. It's gonna hold it in place as we tighten it down. So on the backside you're gonna see we have two wires coming off here. So we're just gonna match our corresponding wires. Black is gonna be our positive, white is gonna be our ground. Now we're gonna be using spade connectors just because we're gonna be test fitting quite a few lights here. It's gonna make for a quick and easy disconnect to put the next light on. But if you you're routing this and it's gonna live outside the vehicle, or any of the wiring's gonna be outside the vehicle, I highly suggest picking up some heat shrink butt connectors. And these are really nice because once you actually crimp these down, you can take a heat gun. These are gonna cinch around creating a water tight seal. So that way your connections aren't gonna get corroded or get brittle over time. These are gonna hold these in place really nicely. And then your next step is gonna be running some wire loom or something to keep these wires protected just for a added clean look. It's kind of up to you. If you can tuck these wires into something to hide it, that's gonna be great. But you're gonna wanna make sure that they are tucked away so things don't catch them and they stay protected. And that was a look at the Tecniq Steelhead LED flood work lamp in a black aluminum finish also available in a white aluminum finish..
