KC extravaganza, kinds, styles, types, time to learn.(56k no)
Ok this thread will talk about the different versions of lights KC offers. Today we are back in class 
.
Ok first off is the original Daylighter, some notes from KC
Ok with daylighers design the reason its such a large housing is because of the 150W daylighter is made that large for cooling the Sealed beam bulb. Now that being sayed the 150w lights are sealed beam light bulb, think back in the day with you moms old 70's LTD, you had to replace the whole headlight bulb reflector and everything. Same principle. Ok the 100W and 130W are H3 bulbs and you can just replace the bulbs. Now the 100w and 130w lights don’t get as warm as the 150w. Thus why the ABS plastic stone guards and clear guard melt under the heat. These lights aren’t as "big" as you may thing they will fit on any standard brush guard. The mounting bolt is fairly far back.
Ok lets talk bulbs for a min to help you understand
First up is the leader the SEALED BEAM (Incandescent)
QUARTZ HALOGEN
Ok here is the listing of the daylighters. I will continue more below with different lights, so follow me down.
THESE are all the LONG RANGE Daylighters

Ok lets talk about the Slim lights for a little.
These where made to fit in smaller spots that the daylighter couldn’t fit in, or people wanted that more stream line look of a thinner off-road light. Now being it is so thin that’s why a 150w bulb is not offered in it just the 100w and 130w
Ok some words from KC:
Ok the Slims has a 2 bolt, 2 axis aiming system, unlike the Daylighers ball and socket. You have to play with them a little more to get the aiming down. Not hard just time consuming. They also come with the ABS stone guards stock. Now just like the daylighter they also come in driving, fog and long range.
Ok am going to give you a picture to help understand fog, driving and long range
That will help explain a little and help you decide which light you want.
Now on to the lights

Now if there is any questions put it in this thread PM me or ask. There are other lights and as time goes on and people want more lights up here I will add.
.Ok first off is the original Daylighter, some notes from KC
Our shock-mounted lights began with the famous Daylighter™ that we invented and patented in 1972. Not only does the Daylighter™ use a heavy-duty rubber gasket (bulb holder) that isolates the lens, reflector, and bulb from the metal housing and elements of weather, but it also includes our patented shock mounting system.
The KC HiLiTES shock mounting system was developed as a way to isolate the lamp unit from the mounting bracket or surface to which the light is mounted. This system successfully reduces lamp failure due to vibration and has been proven through the extremes of off road racing. Now, the shock mount system has been updated from the original to require no extra drilling. We currently offer a wide range of 6 inch round lights in various finishes and wattage’s that include this proven shock mount system.

Ok lets talk bulbs for a min to help you understand
Bulbs/Wattage: Measured in watts; higher wattage means brighter light. (except for HID metal-halide systems which project the brightest beam available at relatively low wattage.)
The vacuum-sealed beam is the traditional automotive light source. For many applications such as marine, it remains very popular due in part to its complete atmospheric sealing which keeps water and condensation away from the interior of the light, as well as the greater selection of wattage’s and candlepower’s available. Color temperature is approximately 2700° K.
QUARTZ HALOGEN
A very widely used light source due to its relatively low bulb cost and whiter light temperature of approximately 3000° K.
Ok here is the listing of the daylighters. I will continue more below with different lights, so follow me down.
THESE are all the LONG RANGE Daylighters
