Cheers mick, So the bulb is still replaceable within the projector (so say if I had a 35w globe I could change it to a 55w if I wanted too) and when you turn on the low beam the globe turns on and your high beam switch just supplies the solenoid which then opens the projector up a bit more and let's all the light out and that's how you get such a precise cut off? Just trying to wrap my head around all this, I like knowing how stuff works.
Cheers,

The cut off is done with a laser cut piece of stainless which is part of the projector.

Do you sell a projector and lamp/ballast combination that would equal the performance of a quart2 halogen bulbed Lightforce SL240?
I guess I'd have to settle on fixed rather than 2oom so would look for parallel beam - I'd be looking to fit it with a mounting bracket to go onto one of the remote window mounts used by shooters. All of the shooting spotlights I have seen look just like the 'old style' equivalent. So mugs like me will buy them, I guess, or because it is cheap, it allows focusing (not sure they do) or ?
The gain is the small si2e, and ideally the right colour light (could I wish for more light?)
The downsides would be weight and $$?

No there not even close. There high beam is equal to a 70 HID Lightforce XGT with spread and nearly the same distance.
There not really designed to go in a spotlight though. You would be better off converting your light you have now to a 70 hid bulb and ballast rather then trying to fit a projector. It could be done but you would need a projector designed for a fog light which is smaller and doesn't have the high/low solenoid in it.

Some better pics of one of my newest conversions.
Indicator in the lights as there going in a comp truck with a driver who loves trees so I thought I'd put them closer to the centre of the truck.
Some lights ready for rubber boots.
Thats just one light with a 35 watt ballast and 5000K Osram bulbs.

No dramas mate. New lights are heaps easier to get apart then older ones also.
Cheers Mick.
