www.hella.com.au but isnt the world made of plastic now

Im also wondering how they would handle corrigations and offroading

I thought it was made of cadbury's chocolate.... or is that just on the ad?



The twin bulb design looks like a good idea... although the spread wouldn't be as good as a single one I don't think.

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.

I have a 140 Lightforce 35w Globe from a pool light and a diffusion cover. Works well.

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

Well if you dont need it anymore....

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.

Why not the Hansa ones.

They would be nearly have the narva ones and work just as well.

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.

i have one of the round hella worklights as a reverse and camp light. works great. nice spread beam and can swivel when needed.

Sorry I use a >>>>>

I use the Hella Single Beam one as a reverse light and find it great...

Doesn't move or vibrate loose, is high pressure hose waterproof for when I'm washing the weekend mud off and gives great light output

There is a company that lists both types on ebay regularly at a reasonable price.

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

hella have a new led spot available, they retail for about $200.
i have just ordered some for work as a test, i mean energy saving trial

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.

send me one, I'll do some testing for you.. $200 is too much bux for something untested for my purposes..

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.
