Exciting New Tech Gives The Latest Driving Lights And Light Bars From Narva An Edge.

- Ron Moon

I’VE SPENT the last few weeks driving behind Narva’s Ultima LED 225 driving lights and Explora double-row light bar.

The Ultima LEDs come in either 175 or 225mm diameter cases, with the smaller light featuring two 15W Cree LEDs and the latter getting three Cree 15W LEDs. Cree is an American-based high-performance LED and lighting products manufacturer, which now has major production facilities in China.

The colour temperature of the LEDs is 5000°K, which is close to normal daylight, and the lights have a Colour Rendering Index of 70 (see CRI breakout). The housing is an extra tough, glass-reinforced polymer with a hard-coated polycarbonate lens and lens protector, while a fully integrated DT connector ensures a secure power connection. The combination kits come with a plug-n-play wiring harness, and the single-light kits come with a prewired DT connector. The lights are fully sealed against water and dust ingress, to IP67 standard, which means they can stand being immersed in water (up to a metre in depth) for 30 minutes.
