Whiter light than most halogens and much better colour rendering index (so you can see the colour difference between that kangaroo and the similar shaped bush). Guess which driving lights I bought?
Fyrlyt.
Not HID, I know. But quite possibly the best all round light I've ever come across. Why?
- Clever design.
- Separate, replaceable components.
- Polycarbonate lens. Almost indestructible and simply replaced if necessary.
- Stylish, strong housing, but light so it doesn't vibrate.
- Quality reflector. Up there with Lightforce for reflector quality. Like a mirror. Streets ahead even of Hella.
- Innovative reflector design. What they've managed to do is create what is essentially a multi-focal reflector that is capable of casting two different beams by adjusting the focal point, without compromising either. World first and must have taken enormous development. Different to Lightforce which moves the light source off the focal point.
- Strong billet aluminium base. No movement or vibration. Looks good too.
- Xenophot bulb. Automotive bulbs are yellow by comparison and Osram have created a high wattage bulb with realistic life expectancy.
- Very good CRI. The bulb is of a family designed for use in photography and places like operating theatres where strong light that doesn't distort colour is essential. Perfect for use as a driving light.
- Very even light pattern. No streaks or hot spots yet light pattern is quite wide, near to that of the Hella spread beam.
- Good range. Not talking Hella Predator at 1500m but a solid 900m which is outstanding for a halogen light.
- Ability to adjust beam to give a wider pattern that would suit tighter winding roads.
- Instant on. No waiting for the bulb to warm up as with HID, you can have light when you want it.
- Flashing the lights does not destroy bulb life like HID.
- No electronics to go wrong. Ballasts not required.
- Price. $600 retail, I got mine for $530.
