| wow - 500 bones?
I would love a set of these for my boat, but at $500 a clip, I believe I'll have to pass (or at least wait for a price drop.) |

| I see that they're bright, but what are their light pattern?  (Fog, driving, or spot?  )
Are they designed to light up something immegiately in front of you or can it throw out enough light to replace my Light Force 240's and Hella 4000's?
In any case, it looks pretty cool!
BTW, if I got it and put it on the bumper, I would put the 3M clear protective film thingy to prevent it from getting damaged from rocks. |

| what is not apparent from the pics is that it is a all metal housing. the back is finned and acts as a heatsink. it is very solid construction, sealed and of course waterproof.
you can make mounts or they have tube clamps avail. the mounts that come w/ it have rubber bases for shock but it is a solid metal mount.
the spread is awesome in the close range. nice even light that my lightforces can't compare to. instead of one bright reflector, think of 24 reflectors shining- it creates an even spread.
i have to check throw but it's pretty darn bright.
The 12" is what I thought would be the min. to justify upgrading from my LF170s, skipping HID's and getting LED's.
If money was not an issue, i'd get the 22" center and 2 12" on the sides (just for the bling factor  )

| LED's, while extremely bright, even painful to look at still do not provide illumination that carries very far. I have seen these lights before on race trucks and they are designed to provide a very thorough coverage pattern for the area right in front of the vehicle.
We are now starting to experiment with some LED "modules" that contain 4 and 6 LED's that are in excess of 1000 lumens. Some day I will see how they would work as a replacement dome light.

| On their site they show small comparison pics between the high beams, their HID's, and the largest/longest LED unit they've got.
The throw seems at least as far as the HID's and a bit wider range as well.
I guess the benefits of these LED's are that they're:
-super bright
-low profile/versatile
-uber durable
-waterproof
-lasts as long as you own your vehicle (and beyond)
That's pretty nice, but wish that they used even less power. |

| Don't forget the advantage of low amperage. I put a set of hella 700ff with 100 watt IPF bulbs in them on the bumper and measured total current draw for all lights (stock high and low plus hellas) at 28 amps !! |

| Does anyone know what kind of LEDs they are using for this? Also I think they would be great if you had them pointing down from a roof rack during a camping trip.
