OK some more light comparisons....
One of the lightforce XGTs has started to lose some alumininum from the reflector and I decided I needed something better for the Defender. After some browsing I settled on Rallye 4000s. Unsure of what the euro beam ones might be like I ordered a couple of these from Amazon ($87.70 at the time) HELLA 007560361 Rallye 4000 Halogen Series 12V/100W Black Driving Beam Lamp: Amazon.com.au: Automotive
I also ordered a pair of pencil beams as I have had lots of Rallye 2000s with the pencil beam and been pretty happy with them. ($152.00)HELLA H12560061 Rallye 4000 Series 12V/100W Black Pencil Beam Halogen Lamp: Amazon.com.au: Automotive
I would have given a pair of Cibie Super Oscars a go as I reckon they have an edge on the Hellas but finding a pair of spot beams at a reasonable price was impossible when I was looking.
The euro beam ones look like they are a similar pattern to the LED Cibies on the RRS which are OK but not what I like. Oh, and the Rallye 4000s are bloody heavy. They're well made but weigh a couple of kilos each compared with less than a kilo for the XGTs

The Lightforce and the Rallye 4000 side by side, the rallye 4000 pattern is on the right and has a really concentrated spot in the middle that isn't really evident on the photo

The pencil beams fitted. Unfortunately the beer consumed whilst fitting precluded taking them for a run tonight but looking at the beam patterns they look to be very similar to the Rallye 2000s that reside on SWMBO's jeep these days.
