Thumbs up for LightForce

I have to disagree. I have a set of Narva 225's which I cracked the housing on. I contacted Narva via email, recieved a call back from them and a Narva rep came to my workplace with replacement housings no charge, no questions. plus he gave me all of their latest catalogues.
No affiliation just thought they also deserve a good wrap.

Ian,

Certainly wouldnt expect that as they are so light. Perhaps it had something to do with how they were mounted? But like everything I guess there is a 'fauly bunch' but perhaps LightForce would have replaced them?

The mounting brackets on mine didn't even crack after the impact, and I had them done up pretty tight.

I have the 170's & Mine broke on the Borefield rd on the way to Roxby Downs. The road was very corrugated. Both broke at the same spot, at the threaded extension at the back of the reflector. (The bit that screws on to the lampholder) I'm yet to talk to Lightforce about this. I had no problems with the mounting brackets themselves.
I too thought the light weight would prevent them form breaking on rough roads & they have been great up until now...... Maybe age affects the strength of the plastic.
I had other heavier lights & destroyed them on rough roads where the Lightforce had no problems up until now that is.

Hi Wilko,

Couldnt agree more, I was originally after the 170's, however somehow left with the 240's, must have been that salesman....

I didnt like the size of the 240's as I thought they were asking for trouble, being to big and bulky and would break easy, however seems not.

If I get another set I would go for the 170's as I think they are an appropriate size and fit nicely in the bullbar.

I must admit, I never saw a cow up at Price's Point when I was up there last year... Favourite camping spot of mine... Camped there 7 or 8 times on weekends with friends and family.

Sorry to hear about the animal strike, but envious of you for being in such a wonderful part of Australia.

(The generosity of Lightforce is also amazing...)

Roachee,

haha, yeh I dont think it was a fast cow, just a teleporting cow, as its not there one momment and then there the next.

Dont think these cattle had seen a car before as the way they ran out of the bush really shocked me. Usually they walk, stand their ground and just watch you comming.

Charles, we go there every year, I wont go anywhere else, well until this Gas project begins...

I know... It will certainly be a shame. I did quite enjoy Manari as well.Quondong had a few too many generators for my liking.

I had a spot about 500m north of the point, with a clearing that overlooked the beach. In the morning, especially if the tide was high, we would wake up to a hot cup of coffee with the crystal blue water seeming to pass under our feet.

We found a 4m long piece of drift wood on the beach one time, and with a few sets of muscles (and a tow rope) managed to get it back to camp. It burned for four evenings, but was useless for cooking! Good for keeping warm, though...

Only one bad experience there - some young idiots from town brought a marquee down there, with some very large speakers and a generator to power them. We arrived as they were setting up (just at the base of the northern side of the point - near that natural boat ramp), not seeing that they were in for a hard evening. They were good enough to let us know that they would be playing loud music - one of them drove over to us in his ute, and did a few circles on the way, throwing red dust all through our camp and car. We relocated about 10 km north in a hurry. When the wind died down at about 02:00, we could hear the steady thump of their bass even at that distance.

Perhaps I'll bump into you up there, prior to the hub going in! (If I make it back up that way again before it happens.)

Take care,
Charles
