I am in the process of installing Stedi work flights on my Leither rack. They are made in Australia. I've been looking at many different options and these did everything I wanted: Strong light for setting up camp, dimmable with a very soft / low light feature keeping bugs away, white and/or amber color, stealth install, high quality/long lasting, reputable brand.
I chose the Micro touch v2 7.8" model. They have a set of white and orange LEDs embedded. You can turn them both on, just one or just the other. The colors are individually dimmable, and they remember their last setting. Stedi USA does not carry these versions in the US for some reason so I ordered from stedi UK website. No problems and arrived in the US in a few days via DHL. Paired them with steed steel roof rack brackets.
The lights are very well made, they feel solid, casing is metal, and the brackets are super solid steel. I had a hard time cutting through them with a metal bit on the drummer as I needed to modify the depth for the side of the Leitner rack.
I used Leitner bolts to mount to the underside of the rack. That is absolutely the way to go, and much easier to manage than the tabs that come with the lights themselves. Super easy to install and super secure. The lights from pre-wired with deutsch plugs, and I zip tied that to the underside of the bracket behind the light so you cannot see it. The wires then route up into the track in the rack, inside a 1/2" plastic sheathing that pops in and stays stuck. Very neat and tidy finish.
I mounted the side lights today after some head scratching and planning. Tomorrow, when my second set of brackets come, I will mount the third / rear light and tie them all together and terminate at one of the rear deutsch plugs in the roof of the grenadier (I order some connectors from Agile off-road as we'll as a crimping tool). the lights will be operated from inside. I will follow up when complete. I am very happy with the quality, value and install process so far. the lights are are about $70 each and the brackets are 2-for-$55 or so.
