They are Nordic lights, and they have great output.
This weekend I finished up my LED lighting on the truck, as I wanted to be able to have perimeter lighting as well as various zones depending on the situation we are in. Each zone is individually switched via my 6 gang fuse/relay box. The air compressor and electric cooling fan override are also located on the panel.
On the cowl, I have two 4" flood/spot combos wired to my 6 gang switch relay/fuse block in the cab.
The topper has four 3" floods wired to the cab switch as well as a switch in the bed of the truck for side illumination while driving/camping.
For reverse lighting, I added two flush mount 4" cubes into the rear bumper. They're tied into the trailer reverse wiring, as well as a manual trigger on the switch panel (you can guess which one, hah)
All in all, visibility is great! Estimated output is around 32,500 lumens.

My Christmas present from Britani came early today! (We had a mutual agreement to give each other's gifts early, because we are not good at keeping surprises).
Its a 7" Android powered Atoto S8 headunit, with DVR dash cam, external GPS antenna, and steering controls. This runs on a modified version of Android along with Atotos proprietary launcher.
Now I can: view engine data (using the Torque App or Forscan), use offline topo maps while overlanding (with stronger signal than using a cell phone), tether my Garmin, and use all my usual Android apps.
Soon, it'll be able to control my auxiliary heat system for the rear of the truck as well once I get the Afterburner controller for my diesel heater. It'll be nice to integrate systems together into the infotainment system.

Very nice! For the money and ease of install, they're hard to beat.
Overall quality seems pretty decent, and I'm carrying a couple spare relays and fuses just incase I have an issue with the generic ones.

To funny... I have the same plan.
It sure beats the 549.00 name brand version.
It fits my 'Ballin on a budget' theme. Hah

Which model of Nordics are you using, they are interesting and in looking at their website I'm not finding these......but there are so many to sort through!
And, are the cowl and side lights also Nordics?

To be honest, im not even sure which ones they are. A friend works for a tractor factory and these were blemished. They were the best kind of price.
The rest of the lighting is generic LEDs off Amazon (mainly Nilight). I have had good luck with them, and if a tree branch breaks one I'm out approximately $7. ?

Lmfao! CRAPTOR I love it. You're build is great, that control panel for your lights and accessories is mint bro!
Thanks! Life's too short not to have a sense of humor haha.
Thank you! It's coming along nicely, next up will be more camper oriented mods.

Though now thinking about it... there is someone on Instagram whose handle is Craptor... I don't want you stepping on any toes
