When using a lighting system such as the Cube, does it use a
lot of battery power? How much does it draw from the average
car battery?
LEDs are designed to produce very little heat, and draw very
little current for the light output. Efficiency is key, that is why
you will notice most LED lights are small, when comparing light
output to other lighting options, like HID, or halogen.
The CUBE light only draws 1.34 amps at 12v. That is almost
nothing. It is less than most IPhone chargers. You could leave
the CUBEs on all night and draw very little battery power. We
have done tests leaving 4 CUBE lights on, in an XJ with a bad
battery for the whole work day, and it cranked on no problem
at the end of the day.
Your lighting systems are a new era in off-road lighting, and
the mega candle lamp powered spot lights are a thing of the
past, what benefits do you get from running the Inspired Engineering lighting systems?
The big advantage to running Inspired Engineering lights is
efficiency. Most built rigs, regardless of the level of customization tend to have a lot of electronics. A winch, sound system,
locker pumps, and much more, in the older day’s alternators
would have to be upgraded, to dry cell batteries would be a
necessity. Some people would even have to winch with their
lights off to save power. That is not an issue anymore.
These things are so efficient; they produce almost no heat,
draw very little power, for the amount of light output that it’s
a no brainer. It doesn’t end there either, in the case of our JK
OEM replacement lights, these things are very small. They fit
in OEM locations, connect to OEM connectors and are a huge
improvement over stock.
You do not need to have huge gaudy lights on all corners of
your rig, they are much smaller now. They also create less drag
than a bunch of huge old fashioned lights.
At the end of the day it is a money saver. You don’t need to upgrade electrical systems, build your rig around your lights, and
you have lights that are rated to work for years without being
shut off. They also have a lifetime warranty.
We also think the look wicked too!
What events will you be at this year if our readers would like
to check you out for themselves?
We do not have a current schedule for attending shows this
year. We are trying to sponsor and attend as many as possible.
We plan to do Jeeptober Fest in Ocala FL, as well as sponsor
many other events. People could check in with us to give us
recommendations, or to check if we will be attending a specific
show.
Do you have a website our readers can go to? Or store location?
Our Website is www.inspired-engineering.com. We also have a
store in Miami; our address is 13800 SW 142 Ave #11, Miami FL
33186. Our phone number is (305)814-5331.
Thank you Sam Hantash and crew at Inspired Engineering for
sharing your new age efficient off-road lighting systems with
us. I am looking forward to testing them out on Ole Blue!
