Well these suckers aren't officially released yet, but I got my hands on some today.
They look the goods too. slightly smaller than the XGT and Blitz 240's so they should fit in 99% of bull bars, they also have multiple mounting options.
The best thing of course is they finally have a spread beam spotlight
Sadly though they are only available as HID's initially, and they have no plans to have the spread beams incorporated into the XGT range. \
They look nice ... which is the most important thing when buying spotties, right?
When are Lightforce going to help us keep our lights by coming up with a theft resistant mounting system though? I guess they like the turnover ... more sales ... but the up/down pivot bolt is just dopily easy to unscrew and take off with the light even if the mount is locked in place. The only options are the lockable nuts (which don't seem to stop thieves for long anyway) or tabs welded to the bullbar to prevent access to that bolt/nut. And at $600 a pop ... sheesh.
There is an anti theft kit which as I understand it locks the bolt into the hole on the pivot, so even if some oxygen thief undoes the nut, he can't remove the bolt.
As for the actual bolts that secure it to the bar, there are only tamper proof nuts or the option of a spot of weld on the thread
Mate had a set on order for over 12 mths. they could never tell him when they would be released.. so he told them to insert them in their anus and see if the light really shone..

Why would you order something without knowing the release date, then get your knickers in a twist about not knowing the release date?
Even more perlexing is why someone would be mates with bogged?

might be cause they were advertising them in the magazines for 12 months and thinking they were available until find out not released yet. and then always promised they would be released in a month or two when really they had no idea.

Maybe.
Nevertheless they look the goods - given this is the first redesigned light they've made since the XGT/HID (5yrs++?) there ought to have been a decent amount of development gone into them. They look to be a good size, too.

Agreed with the ease at which scum can steal these lights, I have to come up with a way to prevent mine being nicked, also, the 'traditional' lightforce lights can stick out too far on some bullbars, not a problem with my 45, but hilux bullbars come immediately to mind. Might ask the brass on AHN.
Having been using LED light bars of late, and HID headlights, the driving light makers must be getting nervous about new releases these days and tooling up.
Though lets see how long before its coming from someone else looking similar.
Supercharged 80 SOLD - "OPERATION SANDY" now in effect.
There HID,s have come down in prices. I like them. Was never a fan of there other lights. They were having trouble with there mouldings so that is why they had a long unforseen delay. They even said they were scraping the genesis alltogether most likly to buy more time from the winges.

I love those LED light bars (Rigid Industries?) but the price!
Hopefully someone will bring out a cheaper alternative as I think they would be great. but at over $1000 for the bigger ones.......

I welded tabs each side so there's no way of getting a socket or wrench on them. Tighten them up nice and tight before fitting the light and there's just enough slip in them to adjust them. The mounting bolts are then drilled and padlocked under the bar.
The XGTs still stick out a fair way though - about 15mm beyond the front of my bar. Don't like their chances if I hit anything...

wolfie wrote:im running hella 4000 at the moment and im all ways night drivn for work after a while if drivn night time better lights always help and you dont seem to get as tired
i'm not disagreeing with that. but surely there comes a point where the extra couple of candle power doesn't make that much of a difference.
say if i had a decent set of HID headlights, a decent, midrange set of spotties, all the loom upgraded, will these make $1600 worth of difference?
your fine mate point takn , iv got to put some new lights on the wifes car [ hilux ] she said she would be happy with mine and i get new one's for the troll and when i said as a joke these would be nice and told her the price she replied the price of the hella 4000 and the diff. of the lighttorce isnt a great deal when u compare the diff in proformance and the amount of night drivn i do so , so she tolded me to go get some , so who's going to argue not me

yeah fair enough, if you can afford the extra coin, i suppose, why not?
i just can't get past the price personally, but i am cheap

wont be open for a few weeks mate, but I'll let ya Know when I do
Yeah good mate, goes great off road, still a few small issues to iron out.
Front works beautiful, too well in fact. going to have to put a limit strap on it before I tear off my new brake lines
Rear spring rates are a bit stiff on the road but I'm hoping the rear bar work, winch and extra batteries will smooth that out a bit. if not I'll play with spring rates.
