G’day all,

Thought I would I would share with you my experience with the LightForce 240blitz. Its not often you find fantastic products with fantastic service.

Purchased some not long ago, was a bit hesitant with the price tag however they turned out to be worth it. Had them mounted on my bullbar, protruding to some extent. When North of Broome (James Price Point) I hit a cow doing 60km/hr (for those that know the area, its a strange place to hit a cow.)

When in the car recovering from the shock of what had just happened I thought to myself, ‘well no more spotties!’ but after getting out of the car realised they were in better shape then the car hehe.

One of the housings on one light did break a little on one side, however after explaining the story to LightForce they have provided me with a new housing, free of charge and put the story on their site. [url=http://www.lightforce.com/latest-news]Here[/url]

I have put this on another forum, and I am in no way trying to sell or promote these guys however I thought it worth sharing to those interested, as I had heard of thier reputation for toughness, but wasnt to sure how it would stack up against a cow.

So if anyones after a set of driving lights, I highly recommend the lightforce range.

Cheers all,

Tom Sherrell

Tip:

Air Intake<br> Water and engines do not mix very well, and when they do it almost always results in bent pistons, valves and crankshaft commonly called “hydro-locking”. If you think this sounds expensive you're right. The positioning of the air intake is critical to how well a vehicle can handle a crossing. For example certain Toyota 4x4 models have their air intake directly behind the headlight, which is great to allow cold air into the engine but unfortunately is equally as great in directing water into the engine (An easy fix for this is to remove the plastic tubing from the air cleaner to the headlight when crossing water). NEVER attempt a water crossing where the water depth is above the air intake height. If you intend doing regular water crossings, its a good idea to fit a snorkel as it raises the air intake to your roof line. It doesn't mean you can use your xx4 as a submarine!
