Interstate truckies here in Oz were asked what colour temp they preferred best. Most truckies said that 4000 to 4500k was the best colour to spot the common western grey kangaroo.
Very informative video, clearly showing the real reason and difference in the reason for the 5k. made my mind up on my UK based 120 land cruiser, fitting to 7' sentinel elite's to the nudge bar.
Color does much more than light up dust when it’s too white. The most thorough research I have seen was on led color and police identification of weapons in peoples hands and such. The eye has evolved to see in sunlight. The best combination is amber and white. I am not a lighting engineer but I have been an off roader for years. Look at a Baja trophy truck. They drive at super high speed and use a combination. Ps I am in no way trying to argue or take away from your experience and the throw of those lights looks awesome. I can only speak for myself but it’s overkill for most. I you are driving fast enough to need that off road with a “tourer” or “overland” then your a danger to yourself and others. You can’t turn them on in a convoy. This is all just my experience through using and modifying 9 4x4 trucks/suvs (all 4 runners) but this is only my opinion and I am expert at nothing. But I am experienced in the off road craft
Great reviews Dave, I have been looking at replacing my Light Force lights and saw yours on your car at the show. Think I’ll get you to a change over when I get the coil delete set up done. 👍👍
I used to own a lighting business importing specialised lighting and all of my standard (non medical) lamps were 5,000K It is equivalent to midday sunlight
Very interesting to hear you echo my own thoughts, especially about 5000 vs higher LED colour temps, which I believe not only fatigue older eyes, but also seem to wash out the colour and texture of oncoming objects. As much as I’ve always detested LED’s, especially when being blinded by badly focussed oncoming LED lights, I’m looking very closely at Lazerlamp’s Linear 18 Elite light bar for the front grille of my Discovery 4. The xenon headlights are pretty good on the car, but driving at night on the winding roads around my area in the Blue Mtns, I’d like a bit more spread and distance, and the linear 18 looks perfect. Have you gotten around too checking out their light bar range yet, as you suggested you’d like to?
Yes, I’m running a lines 36 on my roof currently. I generally use this for around town as it gives great spread, but it doesn’t have the distance of the 9” round elites.
We have Lazer Lamps all round exceptional things. We have 3 Utility 45s which cover left and right sides, and one for rear. We have RS4s with built in DRLs on the front, and the monster Elite 28 51" lightbar which is just frightening!
It would be nice to know what LED a lot of these brands are using most of them say “CREE” but that’s just a brand name…. They have lots and lots of different models. And also I’d rather a higher CRI over lumens any day. I’m a bit of a flashlight nerd 😂
Something that's always peed me off about lightbars is the excessively white light they produce, it causes eye strain and makes you tired, the old school halogen were so much nicer to drive behind with their warmer colour of light compared to most LED lights which are excessively white.,
I'm not a fan the price per light, Recently put these on a customer's car Drl looks nice Wiring in the indicator looked nice And the t really well in a tube ARB bar as the back is shaped to fit They put out some heat for a new light
Yeah cost is prohibitive, I notice they have a 7 inch sentinel now and while still being pricey it’s slightly more bare able Truth being you don’t drive at night super often let’s be real and it’s just a bit of wankfactor for a lot of people, but if you buy good things you have good things. I need to get the spaghetti wiring from the bloke who owned my car before dealt with first before I get new spotties anyway lol
Serious question. While there certainly appears to be a difference; is that not in part due to the location of the light? Would the Lasers perform similarly if they were shooting down to the ground in front of the Patrol like the bar? I’m no expert and genuinely curious.
oh no Adelaide show up date, I tried to talk to you but you where not at your stand which is fine as you need a break, but the lady there was to busy on her phone so walked away
best review ive seen so far thanks mate. im thinking of putting 7 inch lights on my van the bull bar wont allow any bigger. its a toss up between lazer and ultravision. please help which ones?????
Some good info. On a side note to Dash no longer sell rear LCA as I can see they have gone from the website. If not will you be offering an alternative to the billet?
Hey bud, they are as good as they are said to be, I have a set of Sentinel Elites, plus 3x Triple R1000's on my ute. My ute is used in the heavy Haulage transport industry, and it gets used and abused on all sorts of mine access tracks, and some really C grade bitumen roads, and they've held up exceptionally well.
@@lyntonwaun3527 they look really good and i like the colour output being more like a halogen colour but at 750$ a per light then they should be really good. i don't do enough night driving to justify 1500$ probably need some security nuts so that they don't get pinched. if i was driving nights every day, yes I'd probably get a set because of the way they provide light across the whole road from gutter to gutter as well as a good distance down the road.

The clip showing the difference in colour was amazing, real eye opener to why some led light “look” bright.

The Lazer lamps are exceptional products expensive but definitely worth it
Mate, this is the review I have been looking for! Thanks heaps. Keep them coming.

With so many good Aussie made lights on the market, id definitely choose to support aussie jobs

I am not allowed out at night
i have a lazerlamp light bar on my trailmax roof rack it is quality man pretty much what u explained i do love the quality and is worth the extra coin
Should try out Ultra Vision, Australian made and developed.
‼️‼️ Finally someone ‼️‼️
Who actually knows
His shit
🙏❤️ Love from Scotland ❤️🙏
Too kind 😌
@@DASHOffRoad no at all Sir.
Great lights but I will stick with my Ultravision 180 Nitro Maxx's. Australian Made.
Did u try the ones I’ve got on ODIN62? I’ve got the Ironman megatoms which r pretty good. Love the look of the lasers though 🥰
Nice mitsubishi Cordia at the back
I'm not a fan the price per light,
Recently put these on a customer's car
Drl looks nice
Wiring in the indicator looked nice
And the t really well in a tube ARB bar as the back is shaped to fit
They put out some heat for a new light
Great video, thanks for sharing. Liked and subscribed. Are there any issues mounting these lights high up on a roof rack? Thanks.
Great video mate, cheers 👍
Thanks 👍
Have been eyeing these off ever since I watched Stefan Fischer's review. Just can't justify the cost at the moment.
Yeah cost is prohibitive, I notice they have a 7 inch sentinel now and while still being pricey it’s slightly more bare able

they are sick lights but il about bankcrupt myself putting 6 on my truck

Hear what you are saying, the colour of the light also makes much difference
oh no Adelaide show up date, I tried to talk to you but you where not at your stand which is fine as you need a break, but the lady there was to busy on her phone so walked away
best review ive seen so far thanks mate. im thinking of putting 7 inch lights on my van the bull bar wont allow any bigger. its a toss up between lazer and ultravision. please help which ones?????
I tried both, LaserLamps all the way for me
Some good info.
On a side note to Dash no longer sell rear LCA as I can see they have gone from the website. If not will you be offering an alternative to the billet?
We still sell them. They’re there somewhere
shoppe how do you wire them up to panel switch please
Thanks.
Why not light bars?
Guys the reson why they got 9“ lights now they had 7“ before
Would love to know how they compare to fyrlyts definitely didn't have the hot spots most LEDs do but a comparison of the 2 would be awesome.
Good on full bar, but they're too deep for the integrated front bars and hit the grill
they are not a cheap light so they would want to be great

LOL thousand dollar kangaroo magnets.
You can't be serious mate.
Too much talking 😮 omg
Fyrlyt MOFOs. Nothing is better
They were in the initial test. I found they drew excessive current 🤷♂️
