Purelux Black X-Slim C520 Gen3 is part of its manufacturer's updated Black X-Slim auxiliary light series, which brings top quality to an affordable price range. The C520 Gen3 has the familiar two different power modes from the previous version, a wide combination beam and, of course, a stylish appearance and a really graceful body. 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 X-Slim C520 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 unique 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. Already in the power mode approved for road traffic, the C520 Gen3 offers a measured light output of 4012 lumens, and when the PowerBoost® mode is switched on, the light output of the panel increases to up to 6857 lumens with a range of an impressive 419 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 C520 Gen3 combines elements optimized for road traffic: in the center of the light pattern there is a clear, long-range so-called main spot, i.e. a bright, far-reaching main beam, in addition to which a wide beam expands laterally from both sides to illuminate the road from the side to the side right from the bow. The light beam is shaped flat with renewed reflectors, so that the light is not wasted in front of the bow or on the tops of the trees. The biggest difference between the curved and straight body models is the width of the light beam: the curved body spreads the light beam horizontally wide, and the main beam in the middle is twice as wide as the straight model. Correspondingly, in the direct version, the entire light output of the main spot is directed straight ahead, so that the range of the light can be maximized. When comparing cones, it is therefore recommended to choose a curved version when looking for a wide cone and improving overall visibility. If the car's own lights illuminate the first approx. 50-100 meters well and you want to invest more in range, the correct choice is the direct model. The color temperature of the panel is 5700 Kelvin. Due to its size, the C520 Gen3 is an excellent choice, e.g. for the front of a passenger car, for a traditional shield holder installation or, for example, 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 along the lower edge 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 X-Slim series panels are made of powder-coated and durable aluminum alloy and the lenses of virtually unbreakable polycarbonate, and the lights are also completely protected against water and dust according to the IP69K classification. 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 DT-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!

Note! You can buy the complete sets above either as they are OR you can also take the XBB OBD Dongle & PowerUnit connection relay (see product options), which allows the additional light to be connected to CAN-bus controlled lights as well. In short, the connection using this relay is carried out by inserting the control device (OBD Dongle) into the car's OBD-II port and replacing the PowerUnit relay with the original relay of the supplied wiring harness. The control device placed in the OBD port catches the high beam signal from the CAN bus and sends the information completely wirelessly to the relay in the wiring harness, which in turn controls the additional light according to this signal.
