Just to be clear, I have the ARB ones not the clones, but I can still take some night photos. Unless you were replying to vitodavita that is.

I thought you had sent these ones back? Or was it a different light?

Do you have a build thread for this?
NO, I want to see the REAL ones. I have seen photos of the replicas.

No that was a theoretical question, if the lights were crap, I was going to send them back and go the HID route. Last night I got to play around with them and I'm happy with the light output.

Unfortunately not, I never got around to making one but I can do a quick bullet list of what it has.
Got it. I'll try to get some this week with something better than an iPhone.

It has an Icon Vehicle Dynamics 3" Stage 2 Suspension with 35/12.50R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers on AEV Pintlers.
I see the 9" ARBs are on Amazon for $700 ea currently; no other sizes shown. Anybody have price/availability on the other sizes or better pricing than Amazon?
I'd really like a set, but just can't justify $1400 for a pair of lights. Although I hate the idea, I'm actually considering the $120 ea. knock-offs. I'm not looking for mega-distance, more flood pattern.
I keep hoping ARB will drop their pricing eventually, but so far not so much.

Looking at the VisionX website I see the 9" light cannons are listed at $1300/pair. I'm not sure how much the covers would add to that to get a flood pattern. Even if other retailers are discounting them from the MSRP, that doesn't look like half the ARB's $1400...in fact, it looks like pretty much the same when you add in the covers and shipping cost.
I'm also leery of the idea of changing the shape of the beam with a stick-on cover. Seems to me it would be much more effective to have a properly designed reflector in the first place. I suppose the changeable covers does allow for user changes, but it's hard to imagine it would perform as well as something designed as a flood to start with(?).

Are you only looking at LED lights or other options like halogen and HID?

9" is way overkill for anything other than desert racing speeds.
I've only been looking at LED myself.
I have a couple of reasons for this (aka 'justifications)
1-I don't want to add an extra battery to an already heavy truck and LED tends to be the most bang for the watt
2-I like the traditional round light look on the bumper (ARB on an LR3) better than a bar
3-the shallow mounting depth of the ARB/similar will make accessing my winch clutch easier as it's already buried down in the bumper pretty good.
Yes, I know I don't really need the 9" lights, just trying to compare apples to apples. I'm certainly not looking for a desert race light. Not sure on the pricing of the smaller ARBs vs others?
