X-Lights
CNC Billet Machined Aluminium Housing. Hardened Black Anodized corrosion resistant coating. Built in lens hood to prevent light hitting bonnet and to protect bulb from impacts. Clamp directly to roll cage using off the shelf stainless clip. The most effective and robust overhead lights available. Super efficiency low power bulbs put less strain on your wiring / battery. Ultra Low Profile 60mm diameter face.
| Conventional Overhead Lights | X-Eng X-Lites |
| The aim of the lights is changed by wind resistance and impacts with branches |
X-Lites are very low profile, protruding as little as 10mm above your cage. The light casings are exceptionally strong and the lights are fully re-buildable using mostly off-the-shelf parts. |
| Overhead lights are often damaged by overhanging branches. | |
| Larger face lights increases aerodynamic drag using more fuel. | |
| The light shines on the bonnet and wings diminishing your night vision and reducing the effectiveness of the lights. |
X-Lites incorporate a 23mm 'hood' which stops light from shining on the bonnet & wings. |
| Difficult to fit to a roll cage without welding on brackets. |
X-Lites attach to your roll cage with an off the shelf, adjustable, stainless steel hose clip. Should you break one, you can pick up a replacement from any hardware store for a few pence. |
| Bulbs are expensive and reflectors or front glass lenses are impossible to replace. Some lights use polycarbonate lenses & reflectors which are very tough, but quickly become scratched. |
Bulb and reflector are a single 'sealed' unit. When you change a bulb, you replace the glass lens and reflector at the same time. Yet, you can pick up a replacement bulb from a hardware store for as little as £1.00. |
X-Lites are only 60mm diameter and yet deliver more intense light in the visual spectrum than the majority of commercial driving lights. The bulbs are only 50w and yet will outshine most 100w and even 150w halogen lights.

How is this possible? The light is high temperature with most of it's energy in the middle to top of your visual range where your eyes are most sensitive. Most lights are biased toward the red end of the spectrum and waste a lot of the light energy as heat and infrared.
The recessed bulb, lens and reflector is set 23mm inside the body of the light. This has a two fold advantage over traditional lights. Firstly, the bulb is very well protected from branches and other impacts. Secondly, and more importantly, it concentrates the light in to a brighter cone and greatly reduces the amount which can shine on the bonnet and wings.
The less of the light is shining on your bonnet, the better your night vision - further enhancing the efficiency of the X-Lite.
More efficient, lower power lights mean less strain on your wiring and less drain on your battery.
