    Fyrlyt, all hype no substance?

    I wouldn't mind going out again in a couple of weeks time I'll have the 37" 200w CREE LED light bar on by then. It will be interesting to see the difference between 60x3w Samsung P7 and the 20x10w CREE Plus it will give me some time to make up some quick release lighting harnesses for my...

    Help me add cornering lamps to my car

    I have seen a competition vehicle here which had modified the Hella Dynaview controller to drive his LED 36 watters and rock lights (rock lights are used on the corners of vehicles to hilight the ground so that the observer can assist in placing the vehicle. I suspect not much need for rock...

    How long can HID kits run in vehicle before overheating?

    Its important to maintain context and country here - esp as this is an international forum, which I believe causes a few of the problems when some make empirical statements eg there is no requirement to have driving/offroad lights covered in australia. the only ones I'm aware of are aust...

    How long can HID kits run in vehicle before overheating?

    From a long range driving and Australian perspective (eg across the Hay, the Nullabor and the Stuart) which is where it isn't a legal issue.... I used to run Lightforce 240's and 170's for 4-6 hrs straight - and as you would know, no cars for miles/k, and when you see them you can literally see...

    Help me add cornering lamps to my car

    without knowing where you live, I suspect that most vehicle inspectors would take a dim view of the mod (roadworthy issue) but, the way that the Hella Dynaviews work is through an inertia/g sensor mounted in the middle of your car (eg inside grille or on bumper bar). As you go around the...

    Help me add cornering lamps to my car

    I ran Hella DynaViews for a while and ended up removing them. Nice lights but no great advantage IMO

    No probs, I'm surprised at the perf of the LED lights as mine outperformed (reach and beam shape) my prev Hella DynaViews by some margin I'm normally sitting at 110 on the Hay and they have no probs with lighting up the front (curious as to whether the LED you saw had CREE's or P7's as they are...

    I'm certainly interested. If you gents want to catch up we can compare lights at that loc I'm about to replace my curr LED light bar 180w dual row, with a 200w single row 20x10w CREE. happy to show you both how it stacks up with current Nane 75w HID conversion (using DENSO ballasts) I'm...

    They can be rehashed in here as much as people like, the bottom line is that beam shots are used in evaluation in military assessments. ie beam shots are used to compare light throw and effect against complex target areas, be they populated with vehicles, people, animals, civil construction and...

    that does kind of answer it. any reason why you didn't set them up with a cross over sweet spot? (toe in)

    William thanks matey I do know that Mugga Lane Road and have done some beam testing myself down there. :) Range 3 with that fence line now becomes glaringly familiar.... An equally good spot (and less chance of traffic) is one of the side roads on the Federal Highway heading out to Sydney -...

    Its part of the valid testing we do for military vehicles and long range driving lights. Beam shots are just one indicator in our tests. They still have validity

    Mate, thanks for the road test. I always appreciate seeing results and reports from real world users Most of my driving has been across the Hay, hence why previously I've been more than happy with the LF240's in combination with a 31" LED centre bar. (I get spread and depth with that combo)...
