Are you saying all lights matter?

But again, the purpose of a light isn't to have a good weather seal (although that's nice), it's to put illumination where you don't have it. All I'm asking here is that we all learn to speak about the performance of lights using quantification, not feelings and superstition. If these...

You tell me. Run the math on ~$500 driving lights and tell us which ones perform best. Incidentally, that same math should help everyone understand why silly little pod lights are so silly, no matter who makes them. I use a set of four inch pods for work lights mounted to my GFC, pointed to...

Im not a salesman. I have no affiliation with any of these brands whatsoever. Two of my three closest calls in the last three years have been due to insufficient lighting. In the first, we were driving home from our wedding, were just south of Loreto after dark, and missed two horses standing...

The performance of lights can be quantified. ?

Yes.

I use Trijicon for dots, but have been a bit frustrated. Have a new 2011 on the way, with a Holosun. The Leupold Patrol 6HD glass is nearly as good as Swaro, side by side, and the scope weighs 12oz. Looked at putting a Nightforce on my most recent 308, but it was like 28oz iirc. And that's...

I primarily run Leuopold (for all my lpvos) and Maven (hunting and long range) for that reason. American and Japanese glass, in a drastically lighter package.

Your lights should not be breaking. And the fact is, rigid (which survives primarily in military contracts) simply does not make competitive products. Their 6 inch rounds do 1 lux at 270 yds for $650. Compare that to the $450 strikers at 750 yds.

Would information about efficacy and cost savings not be the kind of thing you'd want to find on this forum? If you're into guns, Lightforce and Nightforce are the same company. It's the oldest and most well respected manufacturer of lights and glass in Australia. All their lights are hand...

For some perspective, that's 120yds more performance than the BD LP6 Pro Spot, with a combo beam pattern that covers every conceivable need. Why didn't you choose an effective solution like this, instead of silly little pod lights?

So for that same price, you could have gotten a single pair of Lightforce Strikers, with a harness and switch. That would have given you a comprehensive solution that provides both distance light out to 750 yds, and all the close up flood you need. True one pair of lights solution that'd have...

How much was your total spend?

Some good advice from Ronny here. In general, his channel is full of real great knowledge from someone who really uses his vehicles:

Couple points here: 1) lighting is absolutely mission critical. Seeing where you're going is how you drive safely at night. 2) the major determining factor between cheap and quality lights is performance, not just build quality. Especially when it comes to LEDs, where one light may have many...

As a fun aside, a lot of the tech for EVs was first proved out on bikes, since they're orders of magnitude cheaper/faster to bring to market. Here's a photo of me riding the Mission RS on Angeles Crest. At the time, this was the quickest production motorcycle ever. A lot of its know how then...

Dude, I am a died in the wool car guy. I wanted to be a road test editor at car magazines since I learned to read. Did that in my early 20s, started/built/sold the most popular motorcycle website ever, and still write about cars and bikes for some big names. None of that is to say my opinion...

The motor trend article linked above contains all the numbers. Again, this knowledge and information are commonplace. If you're not being exposed to facts around EVs, it's probably time to reconsider which information and news sources you consume. Absolutely everyone should be reading a real...
