LIGHTFORCE VS THE NEW IPF 900XS
Everyone seems to be asking for Lightforce lights lately. It's not hard to see why - the 240 XGT is BIG. But how good is it? We decided to conduct a simple but real life test with a Lightforce 240 XGT and the new IPF 900XS side by side, projected onto a board about 2 car lengths away. This digital photograph of the board gives a good comparitive image of the light pattern and intensity. The Lightforce is on the left, the IPF on the right.

What are our observations from this comparison?.......

Both are certainly spot lights, with very similar beam patterns.

The IPF 900XS produces a whiter light, as can be seen clearly by the brilliant white spot in the centre.

The IPF's cost $399.00 for 2 lights as well as a full IPF wiring harness with mouse switch and relay (it's worth $90 alone).

The Lightforce XGT's cost $518.00 for 2 lights and nothing else.

The Lightforces are too big to fit into many bull bars, but the IPF's being smaller don't have that problem.

The IPF's are waterproof and submersible.They are steel and therefore stronger than the plastic Lightforce. Our idling GU Patrol diesel causes the Lightforce to flutter & vibrate, but the IPF was rock solid.

So are you being sucked in by the "big light mentality"? Maybe you should look at IPF's current technology, high performance lights and save some money.
