The Add-A-Light in the club store: Does anyone know exact dimensions of this light and the lumens?

The light is 12".
The watts goal is 72.

Currently our supplier is not able to deliver and we are looking to change light models around these 2 specs.

Limans are currently N/A. But once we have a light selected I'll let u know.

I have the add a light, but I also added a KFI front hitch mount so that covers up the big bar on the front bumper where the add a light was designed to mount.
Has anyone else mounted theirs to the smaller bar above that?
I've tried ordering a couple different types of 32mm (1 1/4") brackets, but the holes were either too big or they just weren't what I was looking for.
Before I continue wasting a bunch of time on trial and error, I was hoping someone could steer me towards a workable solution?

I bought .75-1.25" clamps on Amazon and used a Rough Country 12" single row light bar with the stock bumper.

Did you email me on this already?
I will work on a solution for this, this week.
I already ordered several things I am fairly sure one will work.
Thanks.

Thanks, that looks great and thanks for the idea. I already have the light though and just looking for some brackets to make it work. Those clamps will work if I fabricate a bar to attach the light to, but thought maybe someone else had already solved the same problem.

That's the stock bumper from a 1000-5 deluxe. It's the same tube size as the bar below it which is on all of the stock bumpers

Top bar is slightly smaller.
That's where the problem is coming in at.

Anyways.
Parts should be here today or tomorrow to test fit for simular results.

You're right. The mounts for 3/4-1.25 so I wonder if that's enough

Update.....
Hondasxs came to my rescue!! (Thanks again)
To clarify, since I couldn't use the quick clamps that were included, I bought some regular bar clamps, but was confused on how best to attach the light to the clamps.
Here's what I ended up doing after Hondasxs sent me the needed clips. Worked great!! Fits perfectly on the top bar right in front of the HONDA.
If you have a front hitch installed, this is a good option!

Do you have a build post on your d ring mounts?

Pretty early in my build thread


I wouldn't do them that way again. They bent the bumper the first time I used them.

I went wheeling with the new machine. At mile 8 we broke an axle shaft. I'd had to winch twice to get that far. My brother had to yank us back through the holes we previously winched in 4x4 but now we had a broken axle so we really struggled. Ended up almost pulling the backing plate through the bumper. Then I put the warn bumper on. I wasn't thrilled with the bolt on tie downs and they didn't work for me. Wouldn't recommend them

Ok I got lost, thought you meant your light bar mounts bent your front bumper. And I didn't catch yank. Did the both of you not have winches at the time?

We both had winches but nothing to winch to. Without both front tires spinning it was really a struggle to winch in the ruts. The strap and tugs made better progressed. I've since upgraded to a utv snatch strap vs the tow strap I had and it's a bit more forgiving for hard tugs.
