A different Rook Rack Light

[Beowulf]

Just found these new to me roof rack lights. Anyone seen these in person? How do they perform?

The bulb is a dead ringer for a 50W track light bulb. I would not expect much light output.

Lamps are common 12 volt, sealed, 50 watt, MR-16 available in 5 beam patterns. The fixtures can be easily reproduce using 2 EMT conduit with a couple of tack weld and a snap ring. Personally I use the same lamp in a 20 watt 36 degree for my camp site light. More candle power then a tail light bulb and less wattage.

That is what I was afraid of. I like the small billet body, but the bulb look rather weak. Hopefully I am wrong, but I will need to see some video of their performance at night.

There isn't much room for a large reflector either, I am sure that too limits the output.

The reflector is part of the sealed bulb.
