HID conversion kit for scope mounted LF170


Recommended Posts

Well mine finally arrived this morning from the other side of the planet :)

 

That's the good news.

 

Bad news is I won't be able to install and use it for another couple of days lol.

 

I'm eager to see how it compares to a 100W incandescent bulb.

 

It's supposed to draw 1/3 of the power, be brighter and give more distance than the 100W.

 

Colour temperature, off the top of my head was 4300k. Lightforce say anything over 5000k just creates glare, like those tossers driving around with HIDs which just blind everyone, or the cheap Chinese HID's that are mostly 6000k +.

 

The other bad news is that it's supposed to take 15 seconds or so to get to full power, but meant to be quite bright after 5 seconds.

After a fight, which I won on points, I've installed the fcuking thing lol. Get's bright quick enough not to be a problem IMO. I have neglected to get myself a switch... That was smrt...

 

Seeing as it's foggy drizzly out I'm not going to comment on performance, as it wouldn't be fair. Hope tomorrow night is better than this sh1t.
