LED Light Recommendation for AEV utility mast on AEV tire carrier

Folks,
I've got the AEV bumper and rear tire carrier combo, which comes with the high utility mast with 3 mounting holes on it. I want to put a backup/utility light on this thing but the one you can get from AEV is a 55W halogen bulb. No offense to halogen bulbs but I have an LED in my license plate holder and that puts out more light than a 55W halogen bulb. If I'm going to put a light on top of that mast, I want it to emit -more- light than my license plate holder :) If it has an easily changeable LED bulb (in case I want more blue than white, etc) that's a huge bonus.

Does anybody have any recommendations for an LED light I can put on top of that pole? I don't particularly care if it has automatic mode as I'll more than likely end up wiring it to an sPod inside the cab rather than as a true back-up light.

Thanks!

I have seen a few pics of rigid dually or D2's on the mast. There were a few that had 2 up there pointing in different directions. You could get some rigid knockoffs if you wanted to keep the cost down. Several places sell them in pairs for about $150. Olympus offroad sells them for $125 a pair, and includes different color covers, and a pair of rock lights.
 
Here's a couple pics. Looks like someone used a 4 or 6" led bar too. That's kinda cool.

That pic with the 2 Rigids and the other LED looks very much like what I'd like to do, maybe just take a pair of dually D2s and aim them slightly apart. Any idea where I might get the bracket used in that picture to create a little space between the two outer lights? From what I can tell it looks like a single bracket mounted on the AEV mast that creates the room for the 3 LEDs.
 
that bracket looks custom to me. I feel you could go out and just get some flat steel, drill some holes and have exactly what you need. If its for a reverse light look and see if anyone makes a knockoff dually with a diffuesed lens which will give you a ton of light spread.
