Yea they're coming out with 9" I'm not sure on a price but I don't see those selling too quickly. I have a set if light cannons on good mounts and love them so I plan on getting a set of 6.7" on a bed mounted light rack

I've heard their prototypes are insane, but a 9" light is pretty damn big.

I just wanna know if it would be worth it to go to the 9" cannon, the 4" has a 1000' useable light range, the 6.7" cannon has a 2500' useable light range, so going by comparable gains, the 9" cannon should have a useable range of 6250', but how often will you need to see about 1.2 miles ahead of you? (I'm pretty sure vision x won't be able to double and a half the range of the 6.7" cannon with the 9" cannon, but we're talking hypothetically here, I have no idea what the actual range would be)

I am going to buy 2 of the bigger ones for my jeep and sell the 2 small ones I take off. That will do the trick for me---the big boys will be BRUTAL when they come out but are too big for the front of the jeep.

Totally different style of light than the Light Cannons. The Combat R-Series 7" round uses 32 individual emitters. The current production Light Cannons and will shine farther distance than the multi-emitter style of lights.

I haven't been able to get any numbers on te range but I'd have to agree with most of you guys and say the 9" might be a tad too much and way over priced. While having over a mile of usable
Light is bad ass like you said cleave when will you need to use it all unless yours going 150mph+ lol I'd be happy with the 6.7" to tell you the truth! And I'm very happy with my 4.5" cannons now

Got fed up with the light spill on the euro and diffused covers for my light cannons. Had some spare door seal I got from auto zone laying around. You can cut them to exact 4" sections and put on the covers. Makes it very difficult for them to come on and off which is good. But best of all no distracting light spill
Doesn't look like much from the pics but if you have these you understand.
