THE TYPES OF LIGHT PATTERNS

Fog: Fog lights are intended to be mounted below the headlights and project a beam pattern which is very wide but not very tall or far. This pattern lights up a pathway close to the ground but does not light the airborne particles in the line of sight - this increases the visibilty in bad weather. KC Fog Lights are very useful in Dust, Fog, Rain and Snow. They also work well as Cornering lights in clear conditions.

Driving: Driving lights are designed to supplement your high beam headlights. KC Driving Lights produce a rectangular beam pattern that can reach further and wider than your headlights. These lights are available in higher wattages and create much more candlepower that stock headlights. Driving lights are very useful to help see things near the edges of the roadways and to increase the amount of light out in front of the vehicle. They are great for all around trail riding as well. Most of KCs Driving lights adhere to DOT, SAE and/or ECE street legal standards. Those that are not, now, typically fall within our Spread beam patterns. Spread patterns are similar to Driving but tend to be brighter and wider as they are not required to follow specific DOT, SAE or ECE safety standards.

Long Range: Long Range lights are able to penetrate deep into the night. KC Long Range Lights produce a tighter, more focused beam of light (pencil beam) to see way out ahead toward the horizon. These lights create the brightest beam pattern and most candlepower available. Long Range lights are typically used for Off Highway, Commercial, Agricultural and Racing applications.

Flood: Flood lights create a large pattern of light that utilizes a vertical and horizontal beam pattern. These lights are typically used as work lights and back-up lights.
