Which is brighter, Spot or flood for trail riding?

I personally have the flood an fell like it's the best because when trail riding you need a larger an wider area to be able to see where your going not just a little narrow flashlight, I want to be able to see a wide plus deep area explicitly when moving fast you want a wide enough area to give you a chance to make a decision quitly where to go way ahead of me.

They are both bright the spotlight is going to allow you to see farther in the floodlight

Spot lights have more of a focused beam. Flood lights seem to light up a larger area all around you but they will not shine as far down the trail. I have both spot and flood on the front of my Polaris Ranger. I focus my spot lights down trail and I allow my flood light to illuminate the area directly in front of me and to both sides of the trail.

If you are going to have one...decide if you wantSpot for further but less around you directly or flood for closer and wider...the spot you can still see around you if that helps...I have both but the spot is choice for me

Two different models, spot light lits further while flood light spreads wider.

The beam angle is definitely more flood light than spot light. Don't know the exact angle, but would estimate 45 degrees

I have one spot and one flood mounted about 6 ft from the ground on a John Deere 825i Gator.This flood inpressed me more than the spot and cost me half as much.The service was great and bottom line .Beautiful low amperage / rough service clean white light.I don't think you could find a better solution for twice the price!I think you will be amazed.Njoy.H Kapraun

As far as these lights staying on during bumps they do an excellent job. I do find that they are better for visibility than lighting the path in front of you. I suggest buying a product called Xtreme Bright, It's a bicycle light that mounts easily with no tools needed and boy does it live up to it's name. It is zoom in zoom out capable with steady or flash setting. It runs about $35 on Amazon and it also doubles as a flashlight.

The diffuser lens is awesome - instead of the spot light, it creates a horizontal stripe which is perfect for winding trails - gives really good visibility to the sides. A buddy of mine uses it as well for jogging, which scares him a bit because now he can see all the animals to the side that he never saw before. For riding, it's great - it's nice being able to see the curves before you actually turn - highly recommend using one! It does, of course, scatter the output and light a bit, so it's not as blinding as the spot, but the light itself is like carrying the sun with you, so toning it down a bit isn't necessarily a bad thing!

The flood light is really going to limit how far you will be able to see as it does not reach out as far as the driving or spot patterns. For up close it will work well, the Amber light does not reflect back any where near as harshly in rain/fog/snow as the regular light does making it easier to see past the reflected light. As a side note the Amber does a nice job in dust as well.

If you mean if they are spot light or flood then the answer is yes they come in both so make sure you are ordering the ones you want.

Definitely a flood beam, as to the degree I couldn't say exactly. But the beam does not project like a spot light. Very bright and rugged so far though.

It's a spotlight. If you need more of a flood light, this one is very directional. But it is very bright...

I installed this on my Honda Foreman. I am very happy with this LED. It's really just a flood and it will illuminate a good 100 yards. For the price you can't beat beat it.

When running trails in the dark, I use the single LED, high brightness setting. It illuminates an area about 20-30 feet ahead. I also use a small handheld flashlight to provide a second light source to eliminate shadows and see more details on the ground. At walking speed, the Remix should work for you.

I would say the light pattern is both but more flood than spot. I have been pleased with the light.

With the OP reflector it's a smooth blend between both. I would say it leans just a little towards a flood.

I run the spots and the driving lights on my truck on my light bar. They both do a pretty good job the driving are more focused while the spots have bit of a flood effect either one will light the road in front of you good enough.

Yes, I prefer to use a helmet mounted light and a handlebar mounted light for trail riding but that's only to have a back-up. This light is plenty bright to light your way on its own.

Flood light. Very bright white color. Not much distance but lights up great in a 180 dergree arc.
