Spotlight

There's just something fun about lighting up the countryside at night. As kids, we all had spotlights in our pickups. I've survived this long without one, but with calving season coming on, I figured it was time to cowboy up. 

I've seen this guy has been sitting on the shelf at Carquest for the past year. Wanting it then, I held off because I didn't have a need. Then I thought one up, night calving. The base just magnets to the roof of the truck.

Then a 12v cord plugs into the aux in the pickup. This makes it easy to take off when not needed. 

The light runs by a remote control from the cab. You can turn it on and off, up and down, and rotate it 360 degrees. 

So John and I took it out for a looksee. 

Money.

This guy is bright. John said it looked like a helicopter spotlight. It is intense. The iPhone makes the night look kind of light. But these cows were hidden until we found them with the spot light. Pretty powerful beam. They just sat there and grazed. No concern by the unidentified light lighting up their world. This will be handing come this spring. But it will also be fun in the meantime. Ranch on.
