Great video again guys 👍🏼 Personally, having played with many light setup of the years and found the best that a good spread-beam (like the Hybrids) are the way to go. Even at 900m you are never going to overdrive your lights and are more likely to encounter issues coming at you from the sides. But in the end it comes down to personal choice, the type of driving being undertaken and the budget. Keep up the great reviews.

That side by side comparison was genius, well done! I was dead set on the Infinites, until seeing that side by side comparison. In my area, the Hybrid will do much better. On the road I might have a 1km straight stretch here and there, in the woods on a logging road, a 40m straight stretch would be really long straight stretch. I can think of a couple instances where the Infinites would make for a whoa cool effect, but would literally be sacrificing utility all the rest of the time, for those two instances. Hybrid it is, for me.

G'day guys, I actually bought the Supernova lights that are in between the Hybrids and the Infinites which are the Rogue's. I was initially looking at the Hybrids, but the person in the showroom recommended the Rogues over the Hybrids. Having watched your video, I reckon that the Hybrids probably have more initial spread to their light, but I reckon my Rogues are slightly brighter over a longer distance. After looking at your Infinite 8.5's, I'm glad that I got the Rogues. I didn't particularly like the pencil beam coming from the Infinites. I've used my Rogue's a fair bit and I'm pretty blown away with the light that they throw out- awesome spread and really long distance too. I don't see a need to upgrade my lights any time soon.

@tomsmith8511 Жыл бұрын

Are they still in business? I can't get any response to emails or calls to Supernova. How did you contact them?

@peterbougoure5356 3 жыл бұрын

Something else to look at is the positioning of the lights on each bar - the lights on the Landcruiser are further forward than on the Patrol, so there would be more side light available. On the Patrol, some of the light is stopped by the uprights on the bar. If the lights were positioned further forward, they would project more light to each side, but not be as protected from impact.

I used to prefer the spot option doing a lot of open road, now living and driving in the Snowy Mountains and driving through the national park all the time as well as driving on outback open roads I have opted for a pair of both spread and spot as there is a decent mix of open and winding roads I have to contend with So I actually appreciate both sets of lights, I removed my light bar as the lights just make it useless. Have I got light over kill? Probably, but better that than hitting a wombat, roo, deer or brumby, scrub bull etc... It really is a good honest review which is a really hard thing to come across.

Looking for some advice. Need a new pair of spotties and tossing between these. I'm not really understanding 1. the benefit of being able to see 500m+ and 2. Even on Outback roads, spread is important as you have hazards coming from the sides. I live in Central Australia so largely driving Outback roads/tracks and would love your advice. Cheers

Why not run 1 of each? The lights themselves look very similar, so it wouldn't look odd just looking at the vehicles. It kind of would be the best of both worlds. a pencil beam for the distance and a hybrid for well the flood . just a idea .

I switched back to my normal Hella Rally 3000 soon after, they light up the road 1200m and the pensil beam only got 300m more reach while sacrificing all usability as a light on a car.
