$3500 for a pair of spotties What The ?????

I dont know why but most trucks that go through my work are fitted with Lightforce lights.
IMO they are not worth the money. The mount in particular i believe is not strong enough and the UV degradation on the housings after a few years is not to good.
I have a set of FYRLYT's and couldnt be happier. To me they are almost indestructable and by far the best light i have used in 20+ years.I have them set in a crossed pattern that appears to yield the best result for me.
From memory, if you use a 24v inverter you can run a higher wattage globe for better performance.(looking into this after my tax is done)
HID are a PITA as you are blinded by the oncoming signs because of the "whiteness" of the light and cant see **** when you dip them for oncoming vehicles.
I much prefer the "light" from the Fyrlyt's.
As for the cooling issue, i am fabbing up an Arab style mesh grille this weekend before i put my CAC back in and my bullbar back on. Not because of the lights but because i think it just runs a bit on the hot side in even stock trim without them.

Just my 2c

Mate... They are a great light... But there is now better out there.

Contrary to what is claimed... You shouldn't adjust them by twisting them - and Lightforce explicitly state not to when offroad!

The Plastic has a metalised (not chromed) finish and its not hard coated. A drop of moisture and they will turn grey.

They've also changed material spec and many are going powdery now especially vehicles which spend a lot of time outside (not garaged).

Google the following and see what you find: LightFarce

Local design guy was down the road from me - Eyre Peninsula.. Not York Peninsula. His name was Ray - A dentist and Shooter

He also hired a great team who then turned a business which was going broke in the USA to a huge profit maker.

That same team has now left and started manufacturing a far superior product - In Adelaide.....

Try buying a replacement front lens or reflector..

Not rebuildable....

Add the cover and the output drops remarkably... Add a colour cover and its lower again - like %70 of what you paid for :eek:

I quote "They are a generic no name I get in and sell only with my lights"

I asked what do I do when they pop? He said I'd have to go back to him!

Then I asked what lumen/watt they were.. He doesnt know!!!

I'd bet no better than 20 lumen / watt

Thanks for the in put I must admit the set I bourght was years ago so probably before they changed materials. I originaly went for light force because I and my father always used there hand held spotie for shooting and the amount of abuse they got was amazing,so I naturally went that way.
I have got into this thread because i,m in the market for some lights.

I've found most of the lightforce fans to be relatively new to lighting, and have bought them on the "my brothers best mates cousins girlfriends uncle reckons theyre fantastic"..... doesnt mean theyre any good, it just means that there are a LOT of people gullible enough to fall for the marketing and blurb without actually doing back to back comparisons.........

Actually, optically, and mechanically they are a very good light... Their output is at the forefront of the market.

Anyone want to hazard the ratio of passenger vehicles with driving lights? Its been researched and they have the data..

And, whilst at it... Which brand of driving light do you think is the MOST popular in Australia? (Also been researched)...

I'm meeting with them again tomorrow :)

Having seen the testing, data and research they've done..
And their work exclusively with Osram.

All I can say is they are doing some amazing work.
