Led light Bars??

I dare say that they are considered the same as spotlights and in fact high beam.

You can only use them when they don't cause interference or daze other drivers (not just oncoming traffic).

Whoa! Stop right there. Aren't there enough rules in this world? Can't we just once stop looking for extra things to lessen our freedoms?

There are some issues that need to be addressed in new revisions to the ADRs and state legeslation.
.
In the past it was reasonable that driving lights where limited in number and pretty much unlimited in brightness, pattern and wattage.
That was at a time when there where practical limits to how bright and powerfull a spotlights could be on a motor vehicle.
The practical limit was 400 watts of halogen, which equates to about 80 to 100 watts of LED ... for most mortals 200 watts of halogen was enough
.
Now we have a situation where brightness is more or less unlimited due to LED and HID technology ...... this IS a problem.
.
In the past ( not currently) headlights and driving lights of road vehicles where restricted by a specification that said they have to be above a certain height and below another height ( from memory between 600 and 900mm off the road).
That no longer applies to driving lights.
.
High mounted driving lights have been legal under ADRs for quite some time.
One of the problems with roof mounted driving lights is, that they are above the driver's eye line and this can be seen by on-comming traffic before the driver can see the lights of the on-comming car.
.
There are some quite sensible rules that have been abandoned or become obsolete.
.
Now here are another couple of issues.
.
Low beam blindness
If your high beam is excessivly bright, your eyes will adjust and all this brightness will be of little benifit.
Then when you dip to low beam your eyes will not adjust fast enough and you will be pretty much blind for several seconds.
.
Go onto pretty much any 4wd forum and you will find people wanting headlight upgrades and brighter low beams ..... which they pretty much can't have legally.
.
Reflector blindness
Seems in recent years ( I don't remember it being such a problem in the 80's and 90s) the road authorities have been fitting and using more a brighter reflective signs and road markings.
Very bright lighting hits these signs and markings making the driver pretty much blind or dramatically compromising the vision ..... the brighter the lights the worse the problem.
.
I have recently switched 2 of my vehicles over to LED driving lights and done some experiments doing it.
Bear in mind I drive what would be considered country roads that require driving lights 2 or 3 nights a week.
.
My tests indicate any more than about 70 to 80 watts of LED lighting is excessive and unhelpful.
.
Another problem is that with my fairly modest 80 watts of LED driving light, I no longer see the on-coming lights coming over crests or around corners anywhere near as well as I did with 200 watts of halogen in 10 inch reflectors.
.
the desire for rediculously bright lights is nothing new, what is new is the ease of achieving truly rediculous and unhelpful brightness.
.
I know a lot of people don't want to hear it ...... but no matter how much light you throw at it you will never achieve night time vision even close to daylight.
.
People need to train their vision, improve their looking and moderate their driving instead of looking to more and brighter light as the solution.
