I'll be buying new ones.
The two lights offered for comparison are not comparable lights. Since each does a quite different job, only you can decide which job you want done by them, and choose accordingly. The differences between them go far beyond brand preferences, or composition of the light body. The IPF is a compromise compact light for highway use, and won't give you better than compromise lighting. The LF mentioned is intended as a high output off road light.

I have the 170 strikers. Very bright. I have the clear lens they come with and also a combo amber(very good in dusty/foggy conditions) and a dispersion clear lens(for a wider beam). I also bought the black covers for them for everyday protection.
I love these lights!
I have no experience with the IPF's, so no opinion there.

The new Genisis lights from LF will really shake things up. I have a set of HIDs on the way, which we will report on.

On my commute this morning I saw a big rig with LF HIDs light them up and I thought It was lightning but as it came around the corner an he killed the lights I new it was not an electrical storm.
Here is a web cam on a loop and you can tell what semis have the LF lights.

How can you tell from a DOT web cam what brand of lights a vehicle has? I have seen dozens of HID's over the years and can't tell from the cam loop that the high beams shown are HID's versus any other form of high out put light, much less that they are Light Force HID's (which according to the company pr sheet are/were not available until the middle of this month).

I have had the 170's on my rig for nearly 3-years. They are SUPER durable and are bright for their size. LF is working around a design issue with the metal outer ring. The ETA has been extended to January now. I am waiting to see them too. Although the LED's sure look intriguing too...and what's another $500 :Wow1:

I have always been a big fan of the IPF. They are the only lights I've used so I have nothing to compare them to, but they have performed flawlessly over the past 5 years.
