How much difference is there between a 170 and a 240 Lightforce light other than size. The 240's are too large for the front of my rig but i could prob fit the 170's in though.
And has anyone got a good price on these? Or know where i can perchase some at the right price in Brisbane?


Avgas?????

i got a set of both but i havent had the 170's hooked up yet so i cant compare but if the quality of light is as good as the 240's then the only difference is that the 170's wont shooot light as far but im happy with the 240's as soon as i get my bar finished ill have the 240's and the 170's on so ill b able 2 compare them 4 u

I have 170`s on our cruiser and they are great :D

I haven`t seen 240`s working, but with what you are saying about the size of them tony if I was you i`d just get 170`s, you want be dissapointed.

Give chezzy a ring as he sells LF and I`m shore he`d do you a good deal and probly even bring them to XRCC with him.

Is he comming to XRCC???

I wouldnt buy the 240's they are just way to big and pig hunter looking to me.

Just so you know, a pair of 170`s makes a pair of IPF`s look like parking lights, at most maybe low beams.


Last time I spoke to cheezy (about a week ago) he said he was going.

Well at least he was only talking about your lights, I would have said that not only does BJ`s lights look to pig hunter but he has the head of a pig to go with it :finger:

I have the 170s. They make my Narva Arctic Blue headlights look like parkers when I turn the 170s off... I love them. Not too big either.

Hey Ruff...
Basic difference is only reflector size. Both lights utilise a 100 watt xenophot 2000 hour bulb. 240 gains in output via larger reflector as in there aint no substitute for cubic inches... As for price, ring our distributor in Vegas, Paul Chater on 0429 945 592, tell him Pete sent you and he will hang up the phone :D
