The Purelux Black Boost C820 Gen3 is part of its manufacturer's updated Black auxiliary light series, which brings top quality and hard performance to an affordable price range. The C820 Gen3 has the familiar two different power modes from the previous version, a wide combination beam and, of course, an edgy appearance. As a novelty, the light's two-color (orange or white) parking light has been updated to be dynamic, and switching between power modes has been made even easier. Black Boost C820 is now even more stylish and at the same time more user-friendly! Thanks to two different power modes, the panel can be used with a selection integrated into the user interface (see more below) to switch on either the more moderate power mode approved for road traffic, or the more powerful PowerBoost® mode designed for off-road use. In the power mode approved for road traffic, the C820 Gen3 offers a light output of a measured 8865 lumens, and when PowerBoost® is switched on, the light output measured from the panel increases to up to 18714 lumens, i.e. light bursts into the landscape on such a scale that it leaves no one cold! In PowerBoost® mode, the range of the light beam is also an impressive 576 meters @ 1 lux.
Note! You can clearly see the difference between Purelux PowerBoost® and road traffic mode - PowerBoost® mode is significantly more efficient and should not be used when driving in normal road traffic, only off-road.
The beam of the C820 Gen3 combines elements optimized for road traffic: in the middle of the light pattern there is a bright and clear main spot offering a long range, with a wide beam opening laterally from the side of the road to the side - right from the bow. The light beam is shaped flat with the help of reflectors, so that the light is not unnecessarily directed in front of the bow or at the tops of the trees. The main difference between the curved and straight Black Boost is the width of the light beam: the curved body spreads the light pattern horizontally, and the main beam in the middle is twice as wide as the straight model. Correspondingly, in a straight panel, the entire light output of the main spot is directed straight ahead, so that the range of the light can be maximized. When comparing beams, it is therefore advisable to choose the curved version when looking for a wide beam and improving overall visibility, but if the car's own lights illuminate the first approx. 50-100 meters well, and you want to invest more in range, the straight model is the right choice. The color temperature of the panel is 5700 Kelvin. Due to its size, the C820 Gen3 is the best choice for the front of large vehicles, either in a traditional shield rack installation or embedded in the air intake.
The light has a black frame and dark optics, which is already evident in the name, which give the panel an elegant and modern look. Dark optics have also been introduced to the parking light, thanks to which the parking light bar running in the middle of the lens stands out from the light only when it is on, so the light is stylish both when switched on and off. The frames of the Black series panels are made of powder-coated and durable aluminum alloy and the lenses of virtually unbreakable polycarbonate, and the lights are also fully protected against water and dust according to the IP69K rating. The frameless front part of the lights prevents the accumulation of snow, ice and dirt in front of the lens, thanks to which the light beam is not obscured as easily as with additional lights equipped with a frame.
Installation is easy by using the DTP-2 connector on the power cord of the light, and the width-adjustable lower legs and end legs that come with the package provide plenty of mounting options. Wide operating voltage (9-32V) enables installation in both 12V and 24V systems. The lamp is protected against radio interference according to the ECE R10 standard. Two-year (24 months) warranty!
