Bright Strike

THE LIGHTFORCE STRIKER LED’S DIMINUTIVE SIZE BELIES THE INCREDIBLE LIGHT OUTPUT IT PUNCHES OUT.

I AM NOT a huge fan of night-driving. The increased potential for an animal strike and, if off-road, the chance you may not see that yawning hole on the track means I keep after-dusk adventures to a minimum. This has become even more of an issue since the Land Rover Discovery joined the Walker household; driving long distances to and from a campsite invariably meant we’d be driving during the night.

The Disco’s standard lights are – how can I put this not too bluntly – absolutely shit house in the illumination department and most definitely not up to the task of night driving with any semblance of safety. So I started looking for a suitable driving light setup, coincidentally at about the same time Aussie lighting powerhouse, Light force, announced its new Striker LEDs.

Even though we’d be doing more night driving than in the past I still had plans to keep it to a minimum, so I wasn’t after huge lights. I also run the Disco sans bullbar, so needed a lightweight, easy-to-mount light – the Strikers were the ideal choice.
