Any experience of these?







Currently have no-name Free Form plastic lamps, which after 10 years use, are looking grim (scratched, and dirt baked into the plastic, rotted rubber boots). I want to go back to an original glass setup (so no Raybrig). Cibie and Hella are not an option; no longer available in RHD. There are ubiquitous Wipac and Ring lamps, but indifferent beam focus. Typically, changing the lamps now won't be as straightforward now (the screws on the retaining ring are rusted in). Autopal are an Indian copy of the Hella, but with thinner glass. Simiarly, Neolite copies the Cibie Z-beam. There are also Carello copies, but I'm sure these are also from India, and more for looks than performance.

With Lucas, there are Lucas P700s around, at one time considered superior to Cibies. But they are copies now, not originals.

With the Lucas LUB328 (illestrated above), this is actually Lucas, or at least, official branded ones. Lucas disappeared years ago, and the rights to the lighting division ended up with Elta, another UK parts maker:
