Are modded lights worth it? With the heat issues allowing little run time would it be better to just buy stock?
Trouble is with this thread, your going to possibly get (so far so good) 50% saying no, it makes them unreliable or they get too hot , 50% saying you can get the LED's and drivers, current bump for higher output.
There is no right or wrong again, everything is subjective...................why mod a car when it has 400hp................because we want 600hp..................or 800hp.
My advice is, decide what you want, does the LED/tint/UI and ouput suit what you want...............if yes go for it
Do you want more output, better heat sinking, better customer service (over most manufacturers) choice of UI and tint options , then yes go modded.
Thats it really, no one can decide for you, has to be you.....................i will say most definitely and by far the best move i have gone. As SOYCD states, making smaller lights more useful and agree 100% with triples etc. Swapping LED's for the tint you want and programmable driver..........=flashaholic perfection
Trouble is, much over 3000lm, maybe 4000lm its going to step down due to heat, often the step down to the eye is not that noticeable tbh.
To go twice as bright to the eye at 4000lm, your going to need around 16,000lm!!! roughly 4 times the lumen to appear twice as bright as a rough rule.
Check out the new thrunite tn40, great performer out of the box.............
Other than that, i can say the rc40vnT will kick out 8000lm and throw 500kcd for long duration's.............you need HUGE . Unfortunately for performance and heat management it will never be cheap
This will run for 10+ mins if needed..............maybe indefinitely but not needed it on that long. Most of my uses are to scan and fun, then drop down to a usable output which still kicks the a55 out of most standard lights anyway.
For good value and excellent performance , i will recommend the t6vn, that will impress!!!
Because im so new to this and have no understanding of tints or leds, I am obsessed by lumens/lux, I just want brightness and throw so im going for the wow factor more than anything at this stage of my addiction
I want the best, I want something that is going to light up football fields and shine so far it actually impresses people.
I on the other hand don't want to be stepping down after a minute or two to less lumens than the actual stock light gives out.
Wow that looks one hell of a light! Is that the T6VN in your pics?
Is the T6VN more impressive than the TK75vnQ ?
For me its tough as I was looking for a floody light but I want to be wowed!
If you could buy 1 light from Vinh for $300 what would it be?
I do want to be impressed if im buying a special light off vinh
Pics are rc40vnT,
The t6vn does have higher specs than the tk75vnQ yes, so t6vn is my recommendation for your wants/needs and might as well get v54 engraved
Just to be honest, if you are not impressed by the T6vn, I don't even know how to respond to that.
