Scottyb question about a hi-low beam switch
Scotty, we've been communicating via email about a 12V reducer and I had a question about wiring a 32V light bar properly. You suggested a hi-low beam switch and said you could diagram it here. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Scottyb question about a hi-low beam switch
I started on this drawing ...... lemme see what I have. I also have a LED light bar witch works I think on like 9-30 volts. So I thought it would be cool to have a hi-lo beam switch. 12v would come from the voltage reducer, drawing evenly from the pack. The higher voltage would have to come straight from the pack or a second reducer in series....hmmm
Anybody that wants to add something positive here is more than welcome. |

Originally drawn and posted as a seldom use LED light pic 1 and pic2 using two 48v to 12v reducers in series to produce 24v

And this is the idea we spoke about RT :thumbup:
The key here is the light is LED with a low draw and the hi-beam use is seldom. Otherwise the 24v draw could cause an imbalance in the pack. |
Re: Scottyb question about a hi-low beam switch
Unfortunately none of those options will work with single output LED bars, specially the ones with a wide input voltage.
Those lights will have either an external driver or an internal "buck" converter to provide the correct voltage needed by the LED array regardless of input voltage variation. If You were to wire your own LED array you could use a PWM driver to vary the intensity. That idea would work with halogen type bulbs. Edit: Of course You can buy the ones specifically designed for Hi/Lo operation: https://www.auxbeam.com/77719526 |

That is exactly the input I was looking for.... :thumbup: |
Re: Scottyb question about a hi-low beam switch
If i read this right there is no difference in the lamp's output on 12v or 32 volts? that could be good news for the OP.

Do You by any chance have a make/model number for that LED bar?
