Would love to see if anyone can compare these to ArcLights LED hatch lights. Debating if it's worth swapping to these, I like the black finish better

I have the Arclights now and will be swapping over. I'll do my best to share my thoughts afterwards.

If someone is willing to loan me one Meso hatch lamp I will compare it to my existing ArcLights and write up a review.

I have the ArcLight hatch lights, they're great but the rest of my interior lights are from Meso and I'd like them to all match. Ordered the Meso ones. They should be here in a day or two and I'll do the swap this weekend.

I was real close to ordering the arc lights, but I much prefer Meso to match my existing dome and map lights. I have to say I’m very impressed with the performance of these.

it would definitely be cool to see a head to head comparison between both. You can't go wrong with either one.

If nobody beats me to it, I'll try to remember to take some pics on Saturday when I swap them around.

I'm using single color Ark Light now and will be swapping to Meso shortly. I think Meso is far superior for many reasons but mostly because it doesn't use factory light diffuser lens, thus making it more clear and brighter.

All of the Meso lights are definitely bright, no lack of lumens there.

OK, some quick daylight pics...yeah it's not exactly ideal since it's not nighttime but I did the swap this morning and it's....bright outside

We'll see if I remember to take some nighttime shots of the Meso lights now that they're installed. I took some video too and I'll toss that up on YouTube in a bit.

The install is cake. Way easier than the ArcLight deal since you don't have to drill holes (in the diffuser) or attach any LED drivers with double sided tape etc. Meso is much cleaner from that standpoint. Of course they don't use the factory diffuser, but that's the case for the dome and map lights too so it gives the unified appearance of all the interior lighting which is good.

And some night shots...I have video too but that will have to wait until I get a chance to upload that. They're plenty bright enough.

I did have my motion activated lights in the driveway going on and off, so all the white light off to the left side is from that bright ass thing.
