Figuring out how to mount it where I did was a small challenge, because I mounted it close behind my pickup truck cab, on the top of the bed, facing backwards. The bolts to tighten the light at a given angle were hard to get to because of my placement, but I bent a cheap wrench and got it installed. Wired it to a simple momentary switch (for tailgaters/high-beamers) and it is BRIGHT! I flicked it on in the early morning hours to some jackal behind me with his high beams on and I kid you not I could see the stains in his headliner the interior of his car lit up so bright. I was blown away with how good this worked for the money! The light is fairly directional, not a ton of "area" lit up, but in line with where the light was facing was unreal :)
