FYRLYT. Driving lights, spotlights & thermal products.
Welcome to FYRLYT, an Australian designer and manufacturer of driving lights, spotlights, and thermal equipment. Our products cater to professionals and discerning enthusiasts who value critical thinking and seek products that no only deliver optimal performance but unrivalled durability. Unlike other brands you are dealing direct with the design team not sales people. The benefit? Unrivalled customer support and knowledge beyond marketing hype. If we make a claim we support it with relevant evidence.
Engineered by facts not marketing hype
We prioritise functionality, relevant performance and unrivalled durability. FYRLYT products are meticulously engineered from first principles, ensuring optimal performance for its intended use. We provide the evidence and reasoning of our design decisions based on relevant scientific principles. You will not find this level of information re lighting, especially driving lights from any other brand or media 'expert'. Our design team invites your questions in good faith to assist you make the right choice for your needs.
As new performance beyond warranty
Remember when products were designed to last and be user maintained for as new performance over a lifetime? FYRLYT delivers these benefits with its driving lights and spotlighting equipment with every component available for as new performance beyond warranty. For the working professional and keen enthusiast seeking reliability and value beyond warranty, this just makes sense.
What is best for your specific needs?
If you have any questions we invite you to ask our design team direct with no obligation. Choosing the best driving lights for your 4x4, truck or SUV? Should you switch from LED or HID? We will not by default try and sell you FYRLYT if it is not in your best interests. Likewise with spotlights and thermal equipment you will be given honest informative advice after we listen to your specific needs and expectations.
FYRLYT customer feedback
Many of our customers have switched from LED and HID driving lights. They have used spotlight equipment that has been the same for over three decades. What do they think of FYRLYT? Did we live up to our claims and their expectations? Our success and continuing innovation stems from this dynamic engagement we receive from our customers. FYRLYT CUSTOMER FEEDBACK.
FYRLYT is unique. It may surprise you!
FYRLYT co-designer, Paul Alisauskas explains why in 2024, FYRLYT still chooses halogen as its light source of choice. Consider this video and you will know more than many self proclaimed 'experts'. There is more to consider than BRIGHTNESS, LUMENS and LUX. See what our customers discovered switching from LED and HID. FYRLYT is the world leader in this innovation. Halogen but not as you may know it!
4 reasons 'WHY' FYRLYT is superior.
#01 - Spectral wavelength.
FYRLYT stands alone in explaining its design with relevant verifiable science specific to the purpose of driving lights and spotlights. You must look past pseudo science and factoid hyped marketing regardless of brand or price. The spectral output of the light source dictates what you will effectively see regardless of apparent brightness. Failing to consider this is why so many people are misled by marketing and the media. You must look at all the parameters relevant to the specific task.
#01 COLOUR RENDERING INDEX
Why is optimal colour rendering (CRI) important in driving lights & spotlights?
We only see colours that are reflected to our eyes, if a light source is deficient in a colour we don’t see the colours true to life. We rely heavily on colours to detect, identify and differentiate risks at distance. This is especially relevant with driving lights at night to detect wildlife or livestock on the road or verges.
Size, shape and silhouette of an object is defined by its subtle differences in colour. Vital detail is often missing from LED & HID driving light sources. Typical LEDs used in driving lights are 70-85 CRI. FYRLYT is 100 CRI, *42% more. *(100 - 70) / 70 * 100 = 42.86%

#02 VISUAL ACUITY - DETAIL & SHARPNESS
TRUE OR FALSE? 5000K to 6000K driving lights are nearest to daylight and therefore best for seeing at night. ANSWER? FALSE.
FACT: The claim is incorrect. Lights biased towards the longer wave lengths, 3000 Kelvin have less glare and better visual acuity. Blue biased LED driving lights (typically 4000K+ have higher discomfort glare and result in poorer visual acuity.) This is regardless of brand or price.
FYRLYT delivers better all round performance in all night driving conditions beyond any marketing hype. It is the safer solution.
FYRLYT has most of its light output biased in the longer wavelengths in comparison to HID or LED's, blue bias. Blue light waves are the amongst the shortest, highest energy wavelengths in the visible light spectrum. Because they are shorter, these "Blue" or High Energy Visible (HEV) wavelengths flicker more easily than longer wavelengths. This flickering creates glare that reduces visual contrast and affects sharpness and clarity.
CONCLUSION: Short wavelength light “Blue biased light” is simply bad for Glare. “Long wavelength” (Red/Yellow biased) is superior. FYRLYT delivers more detail.

#03 TYNDALL EFFECT - LIGHT SCATTERING
FYRLYT penetrates moisture, dust and smoke more effectively than LED.
Blue and blue biased light is scattered more strongly than red light by the Tyndall effect. Why is a light source that penetrates air born particulate matter important?
We rarely drive in in clean (laboratory) air conditions. Short wavelength biased driving lights and spotlights can be rendered ineffective and worse, exacerbate excessive glare with modest amounts of dust, moisture or smoke. You see less. It will induce eyestrain. Your safety and other road users safety is therefore potentially compromised.
FYRLYT driving lights and spotlights are long wavelength biased and will penetrate airborne particulate matter such as dust, moisture or smoke far better than a blue biased light like a typical LED or HID used currently in driving lights.

#04 DARK ADAPTATION - YOUR SAFETY!
What happens when you dip your driving lights to low beam?
Did you know that your eyes take longer to recover with short wavelength biased light like typical LED or HID? It is these milliseconds that are vital to your response time to potential hazards and oncoming traffic. Halogen is LONG WAVELENGTH with biased red/yellow. By comparison typical driving light LEDs and HIDs are SHORT WAVELENGTH biased blue green. Why would you choose a driving light that delays your response to hazards?
Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_(eye)#Dark_adaptation
"Wavelength of the threshold light: Varying the wavelengths of stimuli also affect the dark adaptation curve. Long wavelengths—such as extreme red—create the absence of a distinct rod/cone break, as the rod and cone cells have similar sensitivities to light of long wavelengths. Conversely, at short wavelengths the rod/cone break is more prominent, because the rod cells are much more sensitive than cones once the rods have dark adapted."
