I have the narva version on my rig now, its great, had the hella on the last car and the reflector went dull, same light to look at but the reflectors are clearly different, and the price tag on the hella is a tad to high in my books
Don't know what they would be like as a camping light. Might be alright for setting up. But would use a fair bit of power to leave running all the time. Especially if they had 100w globes in them.

according to the sites, you cant run 100w globes in both.. I would expect twin 55's would be pretty good without blinding.

I prefer the single beam work lights with a more spread beam lens
Like this Hella 1533
I had 2 x on the back of my old Lux as reverse lights and 2 x on the rollbar as work/camp lights, I also have one on the back of my wifes Zook as a reverse light.
They dont penetrate a long way but have a nice even spread of light.

They say not to but i have and they haven't melted or anything. 55's are plenty bright for camping but i use mine as a reversing light and because i had the globes i might as well squeeze some more oomph out of them.
Bogged, on corrugations they're as good as your mounting. Those pole type mounts will vibrate over broken ground therefore your light will be shaky but will will not break off. Heavy duty plastic, nylocs on both mounting bolts, and splines to prevent dipping.

Not really sure but I would say it's more a case of Narva becomming a more reputable (read expensive) name than Hella becomming a less reputable one. Both very good i'd imagine but like you say, what's $20

If you want camping lights, go LED. Try boating shops. Not as bright as bulbs, but you can leave them on all night without flattening your battery. And you won't be dazzling yourself all night around the camp site.
Of course if you want a rear facing spot light, forget the LEDs.
Bogged, PM Viet667 and ask him what brand light he put on my truck ( I dont know ) -- about 2 inch diamiter and it lights the place up like day light. Cost me $35-00 ( That was "mates rates", dont know what the real price is ? )
Its a tough little light - thick glass and you can tuck it up out of the way.
Don't know the brand name now, bought a few at the 4WD show a couple of years back at $35 each. They are 3" diameter, metal body and glass lens. They take a H3 globe and make a great reversing light. Unfortunatley haven't seen them since except for plastic copies.
