old school 476 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I just don't like the colour of the LED for some reason Quote Link to post
drid 22 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 So were does HID compare to these 2?? Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Looked at hid in a pitch black storage room in shop other day, and I thought it had way too much spill even when adjusted as tight as possible, the light is blue, and the lamp makes a fuzzy hazy noise, which is noticeable in shop, so certainly be noticeable when out, it would drive me nuts. Not to mention everytime you turn it on it dim then brightens up , everytime. I personally think my 140 sport light was tighter and less spill, so il be getting the cluson plr500 now, as I want a longer beam and their suppose to be very tight. They come highly recommended and same as the Deben 150 and few lads my end rate them. Quote Link to post
green dragon 694 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Everyone seems to be talking about the cluson at the mo I like the deben 150 but are the only led?? Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 To my eye, the cluson is same as deben. Except cluson is cheaper mate. Look identical, both 150mm head both 500m beam both led ? Lol I'm going cluson Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Having second thoughts about choice now as I do plan on using filter at one stage and know LED for some reason is really effected by filters the last time I tried them... Looking to upgrade my lamp, there's a new lamp out enforcer by light force, anyone got one preferably HID.? Quote Link to post
scotty2306 37 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I've got led tracer 150.they are shite poor build quality shite beam too tight cans see anything around what your chasing.go hid mate lightforce for vehicle lamping if walking the normal lightforce Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 i only on foot , iv got lithium and 140, seen plenty of 170s and tbh dont find any difference apart from wider spot, and i not fan of blitz too big, thats why i was thinking HID 170, they got massive range like, longer than blitz halogen by all accounts? have you seen HID?

HBG 350 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 It's the reflector that gives you distance on ya beam not your bulb,so you'll only get a different colour beam no longer.so your 170 hid won't give you a longer beam than the 240. Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 This is where I got the info from mate, not being a smart arse, just asking for experience on them.. http://www.lightforceworld.com.au/faqs/47-lux-ratings-chart.html 35w striker hid is 800metre lol Quote Link to post
old school 476 Posted November 1, 2015 Report Share Posted November 1, 2015 There's wildhunter 140 lamps on eBay with variable power... I'm sorry I bought the Deben 170 variable when I could have had the wildhunter for 30 quid and just changed the bulb to a 100watt Just sayin!! Quote Link to post
