lightforce 240 hid

I run a set of Hella Hid's and I can tell you that HID is worth the money. I know a couple of guys that run light force lights and I would think that the flimsy mounting arm might not stand up to tree's very well. The lexan lens on the light force is tougher than the glass lens on the Hella's but the mounting base on the Hella is ten times tougher than the light force. The light force lights also shake a little on rough roads due to the flimsy mounting arm.

How much was he asking? I have the 240 non hid and they light up one mile of the road. The HID should light up much more. I do notice a "Little" shaking on rough roads but steady on the highway. I use mine for highway driving and have never had an issue with them shaking but for off-road I can see were the bracket can be stronger. I still think for light output cannot be beat. The regular 240 are just as strong if not stronger than the competion's HID. Havent had the chance to compare the Lightforce 240 HID to the regular 240's. I know the new regular 240 are $300 and the HID are $1000.

My comparison is just the numbers given by each manufactor. I have yet to do a side by side comparision. Would be nice to do but I havent had the opportunity yet.
As for what I have for numbers. (From the Internet)
KC 6" HID - 275,000 Candlewatt power per. Also listed as 600,000 per pair
Lighforce 6" - 350,000 Candlewatt power. 700,000 pair
Lightforce 9" (Older model-vented) 750,000 Candlewatt power 1,500,000 per pair
Lightforce 9" (Newer model) 1,000,000 Candlewatt power 2,000,000 per pair
Lightforce 9" HID - No numbers are given
PIAA - Also couldnt get any number via Candlewatt output
Hella FF 1000 HID - Once agian no numbers to compare.
Rallye 4000 HID - Same
Not sure if I should be comparing the Candlewatt output or not. Yep I know that HID is 3x brighter than normal lights so the numbers above have me somewhat confused. I would like to think my regular 9" lights are pretty bright but if the HID put them to shame then I diffently need to upgrade. I do like alot of light while driving on the highway. I'll try to find someone with HID here locally and do a comparsion to see how they hold up. Until then I shut my trap
PS. Greythorne. How much for the HID Lightforce?
