The IPF Subaru N14 lamp pods have been specifically designed for Gp N which allows airflow to pass directly into the Intercooler scoop in the bonnet and will not give a power loss as the pods are positioned on either side of the front edge of the bonnet. A number of competitors have reported that the front bumpers tend to come off in the stage on contact with the road etc? And as other lamp pods for these cars are bumper mounted it makes the IPF options far better in the long term.
The pods are fitted with the small (100mm lense) 985 spot lights, with durable shock proof plastic lenses that offer the same performance as the larger lamp options available on the market it offers benefits in aerodynamics and better frontal vision. This extremely compact pod is also light, weighing in at just 5kg (H9 Halogen) and 5.6kg (Xenon) for the fibreglass version and fractionally lighter (0.8kg) but stronger pod in the carbon version.
The IPF H9 technology has been developed specifically for motorsport due to its low wattage consumption at only 65W. The H9 has an amazing brightness and offers the best compromise between the classic H3 and H4 halogen and the latest Xenon technology but at a much more affordable price. Xenon technology (otherwise known as H.I.D or High Intensity Discharge) is the ultimate lighting technology available for motorsport. Xenon is the rarest gas on earth and with a very high electrity discharge of between 20 to 25,000 volts it makes an powerful electrical Xenon arc, but with a very low 35w consumption which is 45% less than the H9 Halogen bulb.
IPF manufacture various options of Xenon bulbs, these are 4300K, 6000K and 6850K, (K is for Kelvin which is the measure of the colour temperature of light). After exhaustive testing in labs and in competition IPF have found that the optimum level for motorsport is 4300K as this offers the most white light and offers far better definition of the surface and character of the road at night.
The N14 kit comes complete with the following:
- 2 x bonnet pods
- 2 x drives and two spots
- 2 x bulbs
- 1 x wiring loom
- (ballast kits with Xenon option).
The delivery time on the carbon version is ten days. |
