Partly done 200 Bi Xenon retro (FAO BenW)

[ado]

Only done one side but the other will follow next week. The settings on the camera are wrong but you get the general idea with the light spread etc.

Main beam is in a completely different league!

Would you say its a lot of work to change them over?

 

[ado]

It depends how competent you are. Things I take apart usually don't go back together. lol

I had to dremel the lens off but it won't be too bad now I've done one.

 

[NICKHYND]

looks well worth the effort....wish mine shone like that

 

[ado]

Now finished.




ISO 800, speed 1/4 and Aperture F8.0

 

[BenW]

Looks good but do you find the sudden cut off makes it a bit more difficult to see things above the cut off? Surely a bit more glare would be better?

 

[ado]

On dipped beam yes. It was the same with the halogen projector so can't do anything. Cut off on main beam isn't a problem as it reaches so far away. It is near enough like daylight.

 

[jimpy9]

do you wanta sell me your projectors asi only have crappy cup halagons on mine

 

[ado]

Are you after my spare halogen projector or these bi xenon? Either way they are for a 200 so they won't fit as you have a 197 IIRC?

I'm trying to get hold of a normal halogen to fit another projector in though.

 

[jimpy9]

just the projectors as i think they would give better light than the normal halagons i have

 

[ado]

Sorry but can't help you there as these are 200 lights.

I have just sourced a pair of RX350h projectors so another retro is on the cards. This should give me the width and intensity I'm looking for.
