I did a search but didn't see anything. I have a few standard 500 watt halagen floodlights on the back of a racecar trailer. I would like to change them out to LED's but i need somthing with the same output of light. I have looked at a few at the box stores but they don't seem very bright. They can be either 120 or 12volts.

Any suggestions??

If you do find something with the same light output, it will be very expensive.

You may want to look into a HID solution. HID is actually more efficient than LED in some applications.

They are not forgiving of power failures & there is a wait for them restart after power is interupted. HPS will restart quicker then others, but the color does turn some folks off....

Look into off road lights for race trucks and buggies. At the low end for that kind of light output your looking at $150 ish per light. Goes up from there. I think rugged ridge off road has some. Lots of companies make them. Bright leds ain't cheap.

I'm assuming they are generator ran? If so i'd avoid LED's and just stick with the Halogens. LED's are use electronic circuit boards and are not very forgiving to 'dirty' power(over voltage, out of frequency, etc.)
