New Style 7" LED Headlight from Truck Lite

Well I know this was covered before, but I thought I would start a new thread on a new product I found. I like the looks of this revised version of the Truck Lite LED headlight. Here is what I found...

27270C



Here is thier announcement:

Through continual development of improved & brighter LED forward lighting technology, Truck-Lite has developed a newly designed 7" round LED Headlamp in support of growing market interest in the product. Made in the U.S.A., Truck-Lite's 27270C LED Headlamp utilizes a completely new light delivery method, adopting parabolic reflector technology to create a smooth, even light output. The use of metalized reflector optics provides a clean and homogeneous spread of light, more uniform than other options, without any targeted or focused beams or projector-type color artifacts.

Paul Sniegocki, Truck-Lite's Vice President of Research and Development stated, "We used the latest in computer-assisted optics design software to create a reflector-based system that provides an optimum lighting pattern. We essentially increased visibility to the driver, while minimizing glare to oncoming traffic, providing illumination that's safer to everyone on the road."

Truck-Lite's 2007 release of the a DOT-Compliant LED Headlamp marked the first time the commercial industry was offered the benefits of LED technology for headlamp applications. The product represented a giant leap forward in creation of visibility systems, and for the first time, offered the heavy-duty industry a headlamp capable of outliving the rigors of highway driving.

"We received very positive feedback on the LED headlamp's durability and increased visibility, however we understood there was a need for a more conventional and stylized design. The aesthetic appearance of the new 7" round headlamps is very sleek and modern, catering to those looking for both a rugged yet traditional appearance." reported John Howells, Truck-Lite's Vice President of Worldwide Sales.

The new design, which shares features of Truck-Lite's recent 5" x 7" rectangular release, meets or exceeds FMVSS-108 and CMVSS-108 DOT requirements for both low and high beam performance. The new LED Headlamp produces light far superior to that of conventional halogen lamps, with a color temperature of 5,800˚K, closer to the color temperature of daylight.

The new lamp is designed with Omni-Volt® technology to accommodate both 12 and 24 volt headlamp applications, providing crisper and whiter light output than halogen alternatives, while extending product life and adding greater dependability. The maintenance-free lamp uses a solid-state, bulb-free system that's impervious to damage caused by shock and vibration, with a military grade, die-cast aluminum housing, non-yellowing polycarbonate lens and a scratch-resistant hard coating to protect against damage from impact, roadside debris and other hazards.

Truck-Lite's 7" round LED headlamp, 27270C, is a drop-in replacement for #6014, 6015, 6016, H6024 and Par 56 lamp systems, utilizing standard H4 3 blade connector. Advanced LED technology has significantly reduced LED headlamp current draw compared to halogen products, to 3.6a high beam and 1.8a low beam, allowing more power for other vehicle requirements & extending alternator life.

Here is the older style: 27250C




It seems that the Jeep JK guys are all over this new style as an upgrade. There are some pics floating around as well as some video. When I run out of necessary upgrades I will pick up a set, but right now all funds are diverted to drivetrain swap... LQ9/4L80e/NP208/D60/AAM 14bff
