    IPF Spotties - what bulbs ?

    I have some IPF lights - no idea what kind.

    They look like this


    Does anyone know what bulbs they take ? And where I'd get them, and for how much ?

    (Not interested in an HID conversion at the moment thanks)

    If they are the 100w spots the QI elements are the std H4 I think. If they are the 135 watt IPF's , they use a special filament, and I think ARB are the only stockists.

    They wouldn;t be H4 would they - I thought H4 all had high and low beam.

    Aren;t the others H3 or H1 or something. ?

    I think they are H3 100W from memory. I converted mine to HID so will have to check in the shed tomorrow to see the globes. They are the 900 series lights.

    pretty much IPF lights take only 3 types of bulbs, the most common being H3-130w (yes, 130w)

    the regular 900 series light pictured takes a H3, the XtremeSport takes a H11 (IIRC) and the SuperRally930 takes a H4

    These would only be the regular / cheaper ones I reckon. Was a commercial vehicle.
    I've heard the 130W globes are more delicate than the 100s and moreliable to break over corrugations etc.

    l have been running a set of plus 50% globes thru my hella's and have been very happy how they have stood up to being run on dirt(this means you dont have to go to the more fragile 130's for extra light)
    as he said get the 50% plus globes, I have them in mine and they are great. From memory the ones I am using are made by Phillips.

    Standard IPF 900's.

    Come fitted with 130w globes standard. You can go back to 100w but the difference is noticeable.
    I had a lot of trouble with the spread beam lenses cracking for no reason. Ended up getting another pencil beam under warranty and been fine since but my Blitz 240's drown out the IPF's now.

    Stay with the 130w or try to get a plus 50 at the very least.

    I'd recommend either HID convert OR get the IPF HIR globes...

    65w and punch out brighter light than the 130w jobs...

    If the IPFs use 130 watt globes they are H3s - I use Narva globes in my IPF 940s althought the genuine IPF globes do give slightly better light output.
