FYRLYT delivers performance per dollar & durability like no other. What you see on the road is what counts! Read our WHITE PAPER before you buy HID driving lights! All is not what it may seem.
Not all driving lights are equal... Break it down.
It is easy to be confused by advertising and 'advertorial' hype when comparing driving lights. Candlepower, lux, lumens, LED, HID, photo comparisons and even photometrics often blur the truth and the ownership reality. Let's get back to a basic consideration. A driving light's output & product quality is the: SUM & RELATIONSHIP of its physical COMPONENTS. 1: BULB (incandescent, hid or led - All very different!) 2: REFLECTOR (shape, thermal tolerance, reflectivity and durability) 3: OPTICS (lens & other surfaces - optical values and durability) It is therefore possible to have as often is the case a high output bulb with a compromised reflector and or lens/filter design that results in poor light output performance. Additionally, product durability is defined by the housing and mount design, materials and manufacturing. At FYRLYT we take a pragmatic design approach on combining all relevant features into the best possible design and outcome.

Presenter, Grizz, interviews FYRLYT and gets the ground up story of what sets FYRLYT apart from the rest. If you are going to make a comparison with other lights, do it with facts and weigh it up. Others take shortcuts that compromise durability and longevity... NOT FYRLYT.
GRIZZ from Ruff Road Media gives his verdict
Speaking from a vast experience, Grizz gives an overview that is a great 'user/customer' impression for anyone considering driving lights for their vehicle. FYRLYT is receiving many anecdotal opinions from many people who initiailly were rightfully doubtful re FYRLYT versus HID.
Two friends & FYRLYTs versus '240' 50W HIDs
We recently had contact from one very happy FYRLYT user who told of his Easter getaway into the Australian 'bush' where he and his friend decided to end the argument as to whose lights were better. Sound a familiar scenario? Well side by side they lit up and much to the dismay of the '240' 50W HID owner he had to admit he was outshone in his words by a factor of 10. How you ask? Well FYRLYT excells not just in distance BUT volume. The '240' is focused into a very tight spot to gain its maximum distance but when focused for any volume the illumination drops of markedly thus resulting in the owner's disappointment.
HID... Why we don't and what you should know.
Surprised? You won’t be when you witness a FYRLYT in operation! When designing the FYRLYT we benchmarked our target product performance against many 'name' brand lights including HID variants setting an incredibly high standard for our design team to achieve... ”Simply create a halogen light that will outperform HID". We have examined many of the HID ballasts and bulbs that commonly originate from Asia whilst also noting that it is a widely held point of view amongst experts and the forum community that the quality is a bit "hit and miss"; with ballasts malfunctioning, bulb colour temperature variants and problematic bulb arc points and corresponding profiles. The reality is some companies just put their logo on a $20.00 ballast and bulb and charge $200.00 or even more for it, we don't see the value, reliability or performance commensurate with this approach. When designed properly, FYRLYT has shown that you can get the simplicity and reliability of Halogen with better than HID performance, and of course the associated cost savings. Remember... A light is the sum of its parts! We believe we achieved our design objective unequivocally with our 5000 lumen Halogen light in 12V / 24V, we invite you to be the judge. The 12V bulb is exclusive to FYRLYT and developed in partnership with OSRAM AG in Germany. Rock solid performance at a price point never seen before.
FYRLYT user feedback
I recently purchased a pair of Fyrlyt driving lights to fit to our mine vehicle. Working in a mining situation we often spend a lot of time traversing terrain in darkness, including Highways and Dirt tracks. In the past our vehicles have ran a couple of the other known brands - Hella 4000s and Lightforce 170s. Due to the constant vibration from the terrain we traverse the vehicle managed to completely snap the mount off of a Hella and partially crack the other unit - necessitating replacement.

The 'How' & 'Why'...
TWO BEAM PATTERNS IN ONE LIGHT! You can choose between a SPOT or SPREAD beam pattern by adjusting the two position precision billet bayonet bulb holder. All in the one light! No rotating the reflector or clip-on filters. A DRIVING LIGHT IS NOT A SPOTLIGHT! Rotating the reflector is not the way to design a purpose built driving light. It is simply an outdated design with many inherent compromises. WE MAXIMISE LIGHT OUTPUT, NOT LIMIT IT! We do not use gimmicky 'clip on' filters that compromise light output due to increased light losses that arise through redundant secondary lenses or filters. Furthermore, coloured filters substantially decrease effective distance in clear conditions! That is verifiable fact not fiction. IS YOUR REFLECTOR & LENS HARDCOATED? Our reflector and lens is hardcoated to ensure maximum durability long term. Without this a driving light will age quickly due to inevitable scratching and wear and tear in day to day use. Ask the question of 'others'. Is their lens and reflector hardcoated? No? Be warned if they claim by not coating it gives superior performance, we say 'bulldust' as the reflector will be susceptible to degradation and the lens and or filter will suffer likewise resulting in loss of light transmission. IS FYRLYT OVER ENGINEERED? ABSOULTELY. Our composite housing is SUPER STRONG with an average wall thickness that makes others seem positively anorexic. Even when unassembled our housing is rock solid. Make the comparison. FYRLYT ROCK SOLID BILLET ALLOY BASE A driving light is only as good as its mounting system and FYRLYT has set a world first. Our solid CNC BILLET T6060-T5 base is not only a component of true beauty but ensures a rock solid foundation between the vehicle and light. Others may use die castings, thin steel brackets or even plastic for a base? FYRLYT does it the right way. TWO POWER CHOICES. 2800 or 5000 LUMENS FYRLYT is available in two configurations. • *12V 150W - 5000 Lumens PART# 1600024V 150W - 5000 Lumens PART# 16024 * 12V 5000 Lumen bulb EXLCUSIVE to FYRLYT. HID... WHY WE DON'T (cont'd) The high performance incandescent bulbs we offer will provide a better quality driving light than the majority of HID driving lights. One characteristic of many HIDs is the glare aspect, particularly in 5000K and above. 'OUTLAW' Performance... FYRLYT had a defined goal from the outset. It was the consideration of all these parameters that has resulted in a driving light that has set a new standard in the industry. Overall light volume & distance achieved Visual light quality & its ability to resolve detail from immediate to far distance Stability & durability in all operating environments and conditions
