What's the difference between Hella Black Magic 500s and 1000s?
I'm looking to add a light bar to the front of my truck now. Several recommended Hella Black Magics so I started looking into them. However what I can't figure out is what are the main differences between the 500 and 1000's? Is it light output? I'm looking at the Randy Ellis light bar that holds (4) lights.
Thanks! |
Theres a price and an output difference with 1000s being more expensive and having higher output. I may ne wrong but i believe the 1000s are 8" and the 500s are 6"? I have 4 hella black magic 500's on my smittybilt bar. The black magic hellas look awesome!

They both have H3 bulbs if I'm not mistaken. So a larger lens with the same power as a smaller lens will result in a smaller candlepower rating for the 1000s than the 500s.

The 1000's have an H2 bulb and are larger in size. They are about 8.5in H x 7.3 in W.
The 500's have an H3 bulb and are smaller. They are 6.8in H x 6.4 in W |
