IPF 900 Vs Hella Rallye 4000

[Beni C]

Hi guys,

So the truck has come with a set of IPF 900's 1 spot and 1 spread, my old boy has a set of Rallye 4000's also 1 spot and 1 spread.

The car goes in to ARB to have the winch bar fitted in a couple of weeks and I was thinking of swapping the IPF's for the Rallye's.

For me the proof is in the photometric data for which I cant find it on either light. Love how the respective websites gives you the basic specs and thats it!!

So I will throw it to the forum! What do you guys reakon, keep the IPF's or go with the Rallye's??

Maybe keep them and upgrade them to HID instead ?

Yep, I'm with Drew! LOL
I upgraded a set of IPF's I picked up on ebay for $120 to HiD. A great light.
The IPFs are known for having a great reflector.
There was a comparison done some time ago by Roothys mob (was actually quite good) that had quite a bit of measured data. My recollection was that the IPFs generally performed better than the Hellas.
Try googling light test 4wd action. I thing I might have come across it via the Lightforce website initially.
Cheers,
Drew

Nice one Drew ;) :)

Maybe go straight to the GSC Penetrator.

Here's an idea, sell the Hellas and use the money to upgrade to seats like MEGO's'

LMFAO

Thanks guys, im doing a swap with the old boy so whatever ones I decide on, he is taking the others for his Jeep.

Not really interested in HID tbh, unless you plan to be driving at night all the time then a waste if money imo. I used to design intrinsically safe lighting systems for mining applications and if it taught me one thing, High Intensity Discharge lamps are not always a better option, the proof is in the photometric data.
Might have to contact Hella and ARB direct but I reckon I already know the answer from ARB "your after photometric what"! Ha ha ha!!
