Update

Candlepower forums wasn't real helpful, I'll poke again when I get time.

emailed Lightforce (or Lightfarce as referecned from candlepower) and was given "at technical document that might be too long".

Err - ok - sales crap - 1.5 pages of blather.
Poked the relevent sections back at them indicating that an engineers response would be appreciated by group. It's something like 27,000 registered members isn't it?



I'll see if they respond.

I hope yopu were appropriate when asking them for the answer, as it would be good to see their response.

Well done.

Cheers

I know it to the true. The bigger the reflector, the better they perform. Narva Big Bulls are huge - cheap and perform really well.
Small expensive lights often perform poorly.

Why is it so?

I've googled myself out, and I can't figure the diff between a small reflector and a large one.
Any ideas?

I reckon it's marketing. the general 4wding consumer will buy the bigger one cause it looks tuffer and corrects their phallic imbalance so this is where all the marketing and R&D goes. Size sells. :lol:
think of the trucks too, i beleive fester has the most correct theory to date!
