Tired of the LED Bright White Hype? Discover Why FYRLYT Halogen Driving Lights Dominate Real-World Conditions.
The market is flooded with claims of "brighter" LED driving lights, pushing a narrative that often overlooks the true science of effective night vision and safety. Discerning drivers are now asking deeper questions, moving beyond raw lumens to understand what truly performs on the road, especially when conditions turn challenging.
At FYRLYT, we challenge conventional wisdom. Forget the dull, yellow headlights of the past – our Xenophot halogen technology is fundamentally different and scientifically proven to be superior.
Here's why FYRLYT stands apart and delivers unparalleled performance where other lights often fail:
-
Cuts Through Dust & Moisture: Unlike LEDs regardless of brand or price, which have a propnesity to scatter short-wavelength light off airborne particles, FYRLYT's beam penetrates dust, fog, and rain more effectively. Experience significantly clearer vision and reduced glare precisely when you need it most.
-
Optimised for Human Eye Night Vision: Our unique halogen spectrum creates a broader, more comfortable beam. This design minimises eye strain and enhances your natural night adaptation, allowing your eyes to discern hazards (like animals) quicker and more accurately.
-
Superior Visual Acuity: FYRLYT's higher Colour Rendering Index (CRI) means you see colours and contrasts more naturally. This isn't just "brighter"; it's about seeing better, allowing you to recognize obstacles and road conditions with superior clarity.
-
Mitigates the Tyndall Effect: Our light effectively reduces the scattering phenomenon (dust, moisture, smoke etc) that severely compromises LED performance in challenging conditions, providing a clearer path ahead.
-
Superior Dark Adaptation: Unlike the harsh, intense light of many LEDs that can negatively impact your night vision after dimming, FYRLYT promotes better dark adaptation, ensuring quicker recovery for your eyes and quicker reaction times.
Choose FYRLYT for unparalleled performance when you need it most, regardless of the conditions.
Our customers switched from LED & HID driving lights.
At FYRLYT, we're seeing a powerful trend: our customers are actively switching from LED and HID driving lights. These aren't just casual buyers; they're discerning drivers, just like you, who initially invested in those "bright" LED/HID systems. They discovered that while bright, these lights often lacked critical detail, caused significant glare, and led to increased driver fatigue with frequent use. The biggest disappointment? Their severe performance drop-off in challenging conditions like dust, heavy rain, or moisture-laden air. For frequent users these varying conditions are the reality and differ markedly from any lab driven data marketing often misinterpreted and promoted as hype.

One light chassis. 3 output levels.
FYRLYT's LUXSIS / NEMESIS / MOFO driving lights are built on a shared design housing, mount, and reflector lens assembly. The mount, spot/spread selectable bulb holder and lens bezel are precision CNC machined with a crystalline clear tempered pyrex glass lens. Each model uses a different output xenophot halogen light source. The 12V NEMESIS 9000 and 12V MOFO 12000 utilise specific 12-24V step-up convertors.
Engineered for a lifetime beyond warranty
FYRLYT's considered design allows for easy maintenance of all components, ensuring your driving lights or spotlights can perform like new for years to come at minimal cost. Every component is available and in most cases user serviceable. No other brand offers this benefit. This is a significant cost-saving for fleet commercial operators while also prioritising their drivers' safety during night time driving.
Upgrading existing FYRLYT LUXSIS 5000
You can easily upgrade your LUXSIS 5000 driving lights to either NEMESIS 9000 or MOFO 12000 specifications, regardless of the age or version of your LUXSIS lights. This upgrade requires a relevant conversion kit and a new, upgraded wiring loom, as the existing LUXSIS loom must be replaced to meet the higher specifications. For this conversion, the lights need to be returned to FYRLYT's technical department.
However, if you're looking to upgrade from NEMESIS 9000 to MOFO 12000, the process is much simpler! This particular conversion can be easily performed by the customer, as it merely involves swapping out the convertors.
Feedback from a 15 year 4x4 industry veteran
Provided by Adam Scott... "If it helps, I have worked in mechanical and in sales for both the major 4WD stores in Australia over the past 15 years. Always owning modified 4x4's and driving a lot of off-road conditions. Safe to say I have driven with almost every driving light available from XGT HID, Genesis HID, Narva Extreme HID, Rigid Industries LED, Great White LED, STEDI LED, IPF Extreme Sport LED and most of the HELLA range to name a few. I have also sold literally hundreds of FYRLYTs to many customers off my own personal experience and recommendation. I have use the FYRLYT NEMESIS since its release (I'm guessing about 8 years ago). Survived everything I have put them through and light output/drivability beyond anything else (no single light can do everything). Followed up by unprecedented knowledge and support from people such as Paul Alisauskas who will personally provide you with hours of his time to explain/warrant and backup his quality product. I suggest you drive with a pair and make your own decision..."
LED driving lights. The short wavelength concerns.
LED, HID and Halogen each have their own qualities and within each many variables. The first point to validate is its safety in both immediate and long-term usage. Refer to unbiased research and investigate the exact spectral properties of the specific LED chip from engineering data sheets, instead of generic marketing claims. FYRLYT reinforces its decade plus position regarding the negative effects of short-wavelength light within the intensity and specification range of typical LED driving lights. Before investing in new or replacement lights, consider the research. LED SHORTWAVELENGTH CONCERNS
Light quality is #01. Look past the bright daylight hype.
Choosing the right lighting goes beyond simply picking the brightest option. In fact, excessive glare will negatively impact your vision and limit your ability to see details at relevant distances. This can be especially detrimental in low-light situations or as we age, when our eyesight and reaction times naturally diminish. At FYRLYT, we believe that true safety lies in balanced, high-quality lighting that prioritises clear vision and minimises fatigue.
'1 LUX @ X' claims? Be aware of the truth.
Look out for brands or media that market driving lights misusing the "1 LUX " claim. This common construct, indicating that a light has 1 LUX at a certain distance, is often used as a marketing tactic to convince you of superior performance. In reality, it has little to no merit other than being a hypothetical claim in a laboratory. We reveal the truth you need to consider. THE TRUTH ABOUT 1 LUX & DRIVING LIGHTS.
LEDs after warranty? 50000 hours?
LED and HID driving lights are generally non-repairable and inevitably decay in output, regardless of cost or brand. Many LED driving light manufacturers advertise impressive lifespans, often exceeding 50,000 hours. However, this refers to the point when the light output falls below a certain threshold (often 70%). Whilst your lights might technically "function" for years, they will decrease in brightness. Once past warranty you are often forced to replace which is great for the brand and reseller but not your wallet. Then there is the environmental cost never considered by those that see cheap lights as a disposable commodity with no after thought.

Why you don't see FYRLYT in mainstream media?
FYRLYT is contrary to the LED technology trend and calls many generic claims into question. It is easier for the media to ignore us rather than cause issues with their combined revenue of LED advertisers. This is a commercial reality. FYRLYT chooses to deal direct with the you the consumer. This allows us the to share valuable information on all relevant factors re lighting performance without prejudice or agenda.
Professional installer or DIY? MUST READ.
You have a choice of a genuine FYRLYT harness or DIY to the model specification. There are two versions of harness. One for the LUXSIS 5000 and one for the NEMESIS 9000 and MOFO 12000. It is VITAL these specifications be followed exactly. NEVER CONNECT TO SECOND BATTERY in dual battery setups. Use specified gauge wiring and quality relays. A typical existing light harness WILL NOT WORK and your lights will not perform to specification (typically dull due to incorrect voltage at the bulb). In over 12 years, 99.99% of any issues come back to people not following the instructions. Any questions at time of install either by either a professional or DIY, just give us a call.

Why FYRLYT driving lights instead of LED? 4 reasons.
Many driving light brands will claim to be the best with generic marketing claims you are expected to believe in good faith. FYRLYT takes a different approach and prioritises scientific principles to deliver unrivalled light quality. We are the only brand sharing this knowledge specific to driving lights. The market and the media obsess over "bright white light" and meaningless "1 LUX @ X distance" figures that lack context or tangible benefit. If driving safety is your top priority, look beyond the marketing and seek the specific information re the light source and its spectral power distribution. Questions? Ask our design team direct.
#01 - CRI
Colour Rendering Index (CRI) measures a light's colour accuracy. It is important to ensure safe and accurate colour recognition of road signs and environmental objects. FYRLYT driving lights deliver the maximum 100 CRI. Typical LEDs only deliver 70-85 and typically deficient in the red part of the spectrum, vital for maximum light quality for night driving.
#02 - VISUAL ACUITY
Visual acuity is crucial for driving lights as it allows drivers to see details on the road ahead, detect potential hazards & read road signs, contributing to safer driving. Our customers who have come from LED and HID often comment this is one of the first qualities they notice. Being able to identify animals in situations they previously could not or in time to avoid a collision.
#03 - TYNDALL EFFECT
The Tyndall effect is the scattering of light by particles in the air. It is important for driving lights to minimise glare and improve visibility in dust, smoke, rain, fog and snow. A typical LED driving light with shortwave length light will perform poorly in these conditions and often you are better turning the lights off or if possible dim the brightness. FYRLYT on the other hand will minimise these issues.
#04 - DARK ADAPTATION
Dark adaptation is important when dipping your driving lights and transitioning from from high beam to low beam. Your eyes need to quickly adjust to the lower light level and maintain visibility and minimise reaction times to avoid hazards. LED driving lights, especially those 4500+ compromise this dark adaptation due to the short wavelength bias of light output. FYRLYT is the better solution.


LUXSIS 5000 - $699.00
Real world performance
A pair of LUXSIS 5000 delivers a combination of truly effective light performance that exceeds 50W or 70W HID. They even offer cheaper ownership value than 'bargain' lights. How?
You save money due to FYRLYT's lifetime durability thanks to FYRLYT's clever design and every component being available. It is important either a genuine FYRLYT harness be used or its equivalent specification.
LUXSIS is an affordable lifetime investment in improving night driving safety.


NEMESIS 9000
12V - $990.00 PAIR
24V - $630.00 PAIR
The Game Changer...
NEMESIS was released to overwhelming positive customer feedback and acclaim.
Compared to LUXSIS, NEMESIS delivers a noticeable increased brightness across the beam pattern with increased distance without undue glare. For human adaptive night vision, NEMESIS is right in the optimal range.
For truck drivers and frequent high beam usage, NEMESIS is the light to consider. If you have a 24V system you save even more money! (due to no step-up convertors being req'd). There is no other light that offers the performance per dollar for commercial operators.


NEMESIS upgrade TO MOFO - $330.00
33% MORE LIGHT IN MINUTES!
If you already own NEMESIS you can retrofit them to MOFO 12000 performance. Please read the MOFO information above.
The process is simple as you only need to replace the existing convertors with the 2 supplied MOFO convertors. Your existing NEMESIS harness remains in place.
The kit includes two bulbs however you can still use the existing NEMESIS bulbs and store the spares. We recommend leaving them in their packaging and of course NEVER touch them with bare fingers!

MOFO 12000 - $990.00
Not for everybody.
Who is MOFO for? Those who demand credible hyper performance and apply critical thinking.
The light output? MOFO delivers approx 30% more that the NEMSIS 9000. It is not just the distance that astounds people, it is the sheer volume and clarity. Existing NEMESIS owners can upgrade to MOFO by simply changing the convertors and still use their existing harness!
