anybody know if any companys make any lights that are as bright as light force lights or are they the brightest in the market?

The brightness of the light depends on what kind of bulb the manufacturer uses. Generally the higher the wattage the brighter the light. Most companies use H3 or H4 bulbs which are very bright but draw a good deal of power if you want to run multiple lights with the stock alternator. If you want the brightest around, go with the HID system from any of the major manufacturers(they only draw about 55W instead of 100W or more). The main drawback is the price, usually around $1000, kinda spendy for something that is easily broken on the trail. I would reccomend the KC Daylighters. They are very durable, relatively cheap ($100) and very bright. They also come with everything you need to install them. Not too sure about the Light Force lights, they look kinda cheap to me being made of plastic, but the changeable lenses are kinda cool, maybe easy to loose though. I haven't tried them, so my opinion may be biased. Lates.

LF is just cool though. Adjustable beams and everything...

But I wouldn't ever adjust the beams or use different lenses. My next lights will be some 6" round 130w procomps or something.

My Hella 530s use a 55w H3. I got a 100W H3 and it wasn't any better. A Hella 500 55w driving light goes farther than mine, but the beam is a bit tighter. The housing and lense make all the difference.

thanks for the info, can you buy after market altenators for a hb v6 ? and if yes bye whom it is 24 hour darkness here in alaska during the winter so the more lights the better. everyone up here uses light force a few with others but light force dominates the market here.

You can get an aftermarket alternator from AC, or you can go to your local parts store and order one. The Mean Green alternator is great, but might be overkill for your application. Your best bet would be to check AC, if I remember correctly they have several diffenent choices. If the people up in Alaska have LF lights and they dominate the market then they must be good for the driving you will be doing. You could probably get the lights at a good price if they are popular near you.

HEY THANX MAN JUS FOUND THE ALT ON THE AC SIGHT ....STILL DONT KNOW WHICH ONE I SHOULD GO WITH....I WILL BE RUNNING 3 LIGHT FORCE ON MY ROLL BAR 9 INCH...THEN TWO MORE ON THE GRILL GAURD BUT PROBALY THE 5 INCH...THEN I HAVE MY STERIO SYSTEM AND IN THE FUTURE...I WILL HAVE A WINCH...PROBALY GO WITH THE BIGGEST ONE THEY HAVE ...MAYBEE...WELL THANKS ALOT HAVE A GOOD DAY

Divide the total wattage being consumed or out putted by all of your devices by the system voltage (12V) to get the current needed to run everything without draining the battery. This will help you find how much alternator power you will need, but remember that that is a minimum that you will need. Add 10-25%, at least, to the result to be safe. In lights alone it looks like you will be putting out about 450 watts and using ~38 ampers to power them. BTW LFs are the way to go!

THANKS....YEAH I LIKE LIGHT FORCE ALOT, HAVNT SEEN ANYTHING BRIGHTER FOR THE PRICE. THATS HELPFUL THOUGH.

I've spent way too much on my vehicle recently and decided to go with ProComp. Got a great price on a pair of 8inch 130 watts for $70.
The heat alone that they put out should be able to heat a plate of burrito's

i ve been very satisfied with my 130W KC's - bright as uck...

yeah i was looking at those today... there 200000 candlelight power...i am gonna put those two on along with the 1.5 million candlepower light forces.....i am gonna light the whole kenai pennisula up.

The older nissan quests and maximas aparently have a stonger alternator that will work on our trucks (Search for "Quest alternator"). Junkyard parts may save you some cash instead of getting one from AC.
