Lightforce coloured covers/lenses

Crystal Blue removes the slight yellow tinge from the halogen bulbs.
Provides a clearer whiter light.

Off subject a bit, but, I nearly lost my new Lightforce Genesis lights on a recent trip in the Kimberley. There are 4 ‘special’ security screws in each light that hold the face in, half way into our trip, 3 fell out in one light and 2 in the other. Luckily I spotted this before they all fell out! What got me though was I thought I could just go to the first dealer and get a replacement set of screws under warranty. No way. Phoned Lightforce and they said I need to post the lights to them? I tried to explain where we were and that was not an option and why couldn’t I just go to a dealer. No, I have to send the lights in. They eventually gave me the Western Australian rep’s number because he might be where you are?? Remember, we are in the Kimberley. The rep was in Perth. Yes, not that far away. Finally got through to him and the best he could do was post a new set to our home address. I could not believe Lightforce’s attitude and how they had no comprehension how to deal with customers who are travelling. I suppose most customers do not travel? Anyway, don't forget to check your lights every now and again. Kevin

They are a fashion accessory - pick whatever colour you wish then take them off when you need to actually use them to see where you are going. rgds

The colored lenses all serve a purpose. The blue one's, as mentioned, create a whiter lighter. The darker blue is for snow driving to reduce glare. Red is to remove glare and general used on the spot lights for spotting light sensitive animals. Green is for animal spotted in wooded areas. Yellow is to reduce glare in dusty or foggy conditions. There spot lights are the same lense as the driving lights so it has become more popular for them to be used as novilties.
Lastly, you should NEVER use the blitz or xgt without any covers. the poly carbonate lense of the light is not as abrasion resistant as the covers and even cleaning them can scrath the lense. If you don't want color then fit clear lenses.

When your reflectors go black and the lights are useless it wont matter what colour lens you have. i wouldn't waste my money again . Bright lights but cheep and nasty with no back up from the manufacturer.

I have had mine for about 8 years and around 240000k's on the front of 2 Landcruisers. About one quarter of that would be without any covers at all - the lenses clean up to like new with a bit of a rub with a wet sponge (they do have a few very small stone dents / nicks - but nothing that would reduce the light output.
I recently (a couple of years ago) phoned Lightforce with a problem with the mounts - over corrugations the lights would move all over the place and no matter how tight i did them up, it would keep happening. Lightforce sent me 3 x new mounts and globes (the whole thing apart from the reflector) with the new stainless fasteners - no arguments... That is good service!
I have no affiliation with the company, nor do I know anyone who works for them - I am just very impressed with the quality and service after having other expensive well known brands fail...

Thanks for the comments but I'm really interested in the effect of the lenses on light pattern, spot/combo/spread. Do these filters have any affect, as I'm used to older styled IPFs with different glass lenses for spread and spot.
