When I was first drooling over Lazer lamps the Triple R was the obvious choice, the Linear range was still to be released. The decision became a lot harder once the Linear range came on the scene.

When you’re looking to spend £500+ on lights it’s good to get it right first time. Despite all the data available I found it hard to work out what each light was going to be like and what would suit best.

Fast forward a few years and I’ve ended up with both the Linear 18 Elite and a set of Triple R 750.

The Linear 18 Elite came first and blew me away. It’s even light distribution and massive left to right spread make night driving a pleasure. Later a set of Triple R 750s were added and if I’m honest I was a tad disappointed. I certainly wasn’t “wow’d” in the same way as withe the Linear 18 Elite. They did add to the overall distance.

I recently ran both light setups back to back on the same road to really see what the real world difference between them was.

The Triple R 750s had more distance however I really missed the wide spread of the Linear 18 Elite, it almost feels as though you can see around corners. Despite the Linear 18 Elite having less distance there is more than enough to comfortably drive a country road at 60MPH.

If we were to only run one light it would be the Linear.

Check out this video of both lights that will hopefully help answer which light would suit you better.
