Guys I ended up using a company called tigerlights. They pretty much have every Machine covered for Led lighting. Great customer support. Ask for Jake. Extremely knowledgeable.

I’ve been thinking about doing the same thing to my excavator’s
Keep us posted how they hold up

Bad news.... The LED dome light works good while gunkholing at anchor and when running only on battery power, BUT they burn out very quickly when running the engine or anytime the battery voltage is above 12.7 V DC

A favorite light that I've been putting on a lot of customers equipment lately are Hella S3000's. Good cost vs light output and durability.

I put 6 on my service rig and now anytime someone sees them and needs lights on something that's what they want me to get them.

Time I had issues with my lights in the studio I work for I had to call the professional thing to arrange everything back to normal. It seems very easy to call out companies that I'm not aware of their actual background.What I didn't do is check their history with a few other studios here in London. It's not that easy to get good staging services in London, if you want to have a professional result. I just saw the movie two months ago that required some special techniques when it comes to lighting and I would never be able to do it myself without expert knowledge.

You need to look for an LED that is rated for input voltage 9-16v DC for a nominal 12v system (for a nominal 24v system the range would be 18-32v). Nordic Lighting do some extremely good ones. They are generally more expensive but, as always, you get what you pay for.
