Messing with Sasquatch: CFM's Yeti

[CarterFab]

Cyclops Yeti!!


Only one Q Series Rigid Light from VP is needed to light the night.
We've been testing these lights for them since April and they are unbelievable. 630 lumens and extremely durable. They were getting beat on pretty hard mounted on the stock Yeti bumper so we opted for a tighter fitting bumper and light protection.

Pretty cool idea there. I like it. Are you running the puck or resistor? I was running an 18ohm with good results for a single light.

No, these were pre production and had nothing on them and haven't added anything. We've run them straight off a receiver and hey are still way brighter than any other production light. Also ran them straight from a 2s lipo and 9v battery. Haven't wired this one up yet and may do something different.

Those r the coolest lights ever, but $99 is a hefty bill for em, but by far the most scale yet

Get what you pay for. They truly not only scaled them down but also have the durability and lumens to match the Rigid name.

The full roof and standard roof are now live on our site.

Any chance of getting a no B.S. pic of the lights making the night disappear? Like, outside of your shop or house at night. Just turn the lights on and click a few pics?

Soon as it gets dark I'll hook them up to a 2s lipo, which is still underpowered and show you. All I have is an iPhone for pics but I think you'll get the idea.

[CarterFab]

Alright. First video was too long as I was fumbling around with wires in the dark.
Here's what we are comparing.
6" light bar on 3s
Q series on 2s, which is underpowered from the 9v they are rated for.
Going to shoot another video right quick.

[CarterFab]

Here's an iPhone video comparing the 2. Video isn't great but it's obvious.
We can see all the way down the street in front of the house, see up into the trees over 100'

Tried to get video with the Cyclops but phone wasn't cooperating in the dark. It's unreal how bright it is. Some customers showed up and I hit them with the light and they didn't believe me till they walked up and saw for themselves.

Love the look of the Exo front bumper on the Yeti! Looks much more realistic. Can you give us a little more detailed write up of how you did it?

Also I donno if it was already clarified but are you running a full-size 2.2 spare or is there not enough room for it?

Go watch the video on post #110, these are crazy bright!

Think I'll get a set of these and run them as reverse lights on my FULL SIZE JK!

Bumper just needs the upper bumper support from the Exo and if you don't want to swap the lower mount out, just grind a little off the inside of the bumper mount and it bolts right up.
Spare is full size 2.2

We seriously may use a set for rock lights on our 1:1 XJ.

Have you tested it next to a more light bar?

We don't have any here

[savagebeast]

Oh, right on, just figured I'd ask, I got one and have yet to test it. Diggin the build so far, everything you put out is very impressive! !

[CarterFab]

Compared to a MORE upgrade. The MORE bars are 125 lumens per inch. These are 315 each, so nearly 3x brighter and cheaper. Simply no competition.
