Night Stalker 180 updates ?

goodday footy
i had a set of nitestalkers on the old gq and found they were a reasonable light i had 1 spot and 1 spread and if the current gu didnt come with lights i would have happily put a set this 1 only would have gone for a bigger lens

Not a bad light, although I have had one fade, and the other the rivets that hold the body to the bracket have shaken loose. * months old, and bugger if I can find the receipt to take them back.

Otherwise, throw a good light, and sturdy enough

Hi,
I bought a set of Night Stalker Roo lights late last year. They are polycarbonate like the Lighforces, in fact many accuse them of being a copy, but they are 10mm larger in diameter and I think the fittings are slightly different.

The difference is the Night Stalkers are $230 including the heavy duty loom kit. The kit includes all the bits and pieces such as switches and fuses, nothing else to buy.

The best price I could get the Lightforce 170's for was $320, plus you needed to buy their wiring kit at $45. Total $365.

As much I like to support Aussie companies, the price of the Lightforce 170's ruled them out.

With regard to how the Night Stalker Roo Lights perform, they certainly light up the distant signs etc. They do what I want, and I guess that is all that matters.

A real test would be to put them side to side with a set of Lightforces and see how they compare, but I have not done that.

Just as a side note, the Night Stalker Roo Lights come with a clear lens cover, but unlike the Lightforces you cannot buy any additional "lenses" to make them into broad or pencil beams. You however can focus them by turning the body on the globe holder and you can get pencil or broad beam that way.

Between the good lights, there probably is not that much difference in performance, and it will come down to personal preference. A bit like the Nissan / Toyota debates.

Cheers,
Mal

My apologies footloose, a glass too many of cabernet last night (at least thats what I think it was.)

Found this website in my pursuit to clarify the difference between the two lights


have them on sale for $220 with free delivery.

Why don't you try a set of Narva's. I have them & when using them in the scrub the hand held Lightforce SL 240 Spotlight doesn't drown them out in regard to intensity & distance.The only difference is that the 240's use a Xenon Globe instead of Halogen. I have never blown a Xenon globe but unfortuneately they do not fit the normal run of the mill lights as they have prongs. A bit off the track,I know, but you won't be disappointed with Narva & I have nothing to do with the company. I hit a Roo doing a 100k's with the bullbar (ARB) & demolished the R/Hand spotlight & the shock made the guts of the L/Hand one fall out & it was hanging by the wires swinging around. It managed to damage itself, & when I told Narva about what had happened, they sent me out a complete new light. Can't complain about that !
