Driving Light Options/Reccomendations Led or ?

Lighting a reflector is different to actual vision at distance. My Led Lenser headlamp will light a reflector ar 500m, over double of what it actual range is.

That's why I said useable light (where the road is lit) is around 400 ish meters..

Imo must be a shoit bar..
My Aurora 20" bar for led light co easily lights up 4-500m but reflective light is up around 1k..
It's a combo 5W bar so split half an half spot and spread.
Light output is about 140 degrees. So the other side of the road is lit up not far in front of the car...

My 50w Lightforce XGTs light stuff up 1k down the road. I just need a little more spread.

Yea distance is a let down with led over hid..
But I don't plan on land speed records so a few hundred meters is fine for me...

Thanks for all the reply's...Ended up ordering a set of the 4wdsupacentre leds as they had them for $219 yesterday & i had a $50 free voucher from them, so only had to outlay $170. Thought for that price I will give them a go. The missus wanted me to get the best but I thought I would give them a try and if they don't cut the mustard then I will get a set of the lightforce 50w hids. My mate has a lux meter so i will test them when I get them.

Saw a pair of those new Lightforce LED/HID combination lights on a vehicle this morning - not a Patrol.
Someone has money (or at least they used to have some).
Me thinks they also need good insurance - they gotta be a magnet for thieves.

Led spotties take a bit to get used to. But for what you paid. Feck. They'll be pretty good i reckon.
Personally i cant justify spending a lot on lights, thats simply bolted on and is quite easy for someone to steal.
I would absolutely cry if i spent big coin on some snazzy lights and for someone to pinch them or i wipe them out fron a tree branch etc etc.
Each to their own...
Let us know your thoughts on them once you get them on and working.
