Post by: Cockney Boy on January 03, 2011, 08:19:35 PM: Im sure if there was enough interest we could strike a deal? By the looks of them you only need two for the whole Jeep, and the nice thing about the Solstice type is they do a handgrip option for a torch lol

Title: Re: Who needs Xenon lights when you can have LED lights
Post by: Pedroski on March 25, 2011, 12:20:28 AM: I bought a couple of the VisionX Solstice lights from AdventureSpec, for my KTM enduro bike. And they're frickin' excellent. Put the stock headlamp to shame. I've since sold the bike, but removed the lights and will be fitting them to my Jeep shortly. Definitely recommend them. AdventureSpec are good to deal with too - I got a good discount by mentioning an offer I'd seen on a BMW bike forum, and I'm sure they'd do something for you Birty rotters!

Post by: Cockney Boy on March 31, 2011, 06:17:23 PM: Well the lights turned this afternoon, and they didn't come from India but from China. Just fired one up and very very bright. Not bad for £25 a pop :icon_super:

They all come from China originally regardless of where they ship from at point of retail. I'm researching a specific LED pod at the moment which I'll post details when I get some more info. And yes, it comes from China.

Post by: Cockney Boy on April 22, 2011, 07:59:00 PM: Well the LED lights have been on over a week, and they are standing the bumping about! tested them in the dark and boy do they light everything up for over half a mile easy. each LED produces 550Lm's with all four it works out the same as 2 x 500watt halogens :icon_biggrin:

An opportunity to put a fan under the bonnet? Nicely positioned to extract heat from the manifold side of the 4.0ltr.
Title: Re: Who needs Xenon lights when you can have LED lights
Post by: JamesH on April 25, 2011, 09:55:05 AM: I have a bigger bulge!

It's very good for getting heat out of the engine bay when off road (you can see the heat haze coming out), without a fan fitted.
