Thanks Alan.
That is the first objective summary of the the Tripods performance that I've
read. I agree with you however that they look about '7 shades of cool'. The
'Le Mans' lamps fitted to the 100S' however is a good 2 shades more cool in
my opinion. Does anyone have comparative experience of their performance?
I'm considering options for my rebuild.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Tripod Headlamps
I have the PL700s on my BJ8 here in Hong Kong and, aside from looking cool,
they really aren't all that great. Even my Lucas flamethrowers produce more
light than the PL700s. I am thinking of selling my PLs and putting on
Hellas or something that helps me see what's in front of me.
