If you think more lumens means better lighting… this episode might hurt a little.

In this episode of the Camo Convoy Podcast, we break down why most overlanders are setting up their off road lights wrong.

We cover:

• Light zones and how to properly layer your lighting
• Beam patterns and why combo beams can lead to a mistake
• LED vs halogen performance and eye fatigue
• Why roof lights can are a bad idea if you pick the wrong light
• How desert racing lighting setups differ from trail driving
• Color temperature, amber vs white, and what your eyes actually prefer
• When too much light becomes a liability
• Basic wiring considerations and electrical load

Overlanding is not desert racing.
If you are crawling tight Appalachian back roads at night, you do not need a Baja trophy truck light bar blasting 600 yards into the woods.

This episode is about designing a lighting system that actually works for how you drive.

Whether you run ditch lights, roof bars, amber floods, halogens, or LEDs, this conversation will make you rethink your setup.

If you care about functional gear instead of just bolting on more lights, this one is for you.
