Bella takes the pace
The Rallye 2000 from Bella has been in service for a year now and has stood the pace in many international rallies.
For example, Klaus Fritzinger’s car, which won the Tour d’Europe 1979, was equipped with Rallye 2000 lamps and the drivers in the Bella rally team depend on them, too.\
The toughness which stands up to rally special stages benefits normal drivers, too.
Top performance was the first priority right from the drawing board stage. The driving lamp produces a uniform, far-reaching light which is more akin to a floodlight than anything else. The fog lamp version illuminates the road surface very brightly without giving rise to back glare.
This is achieved by means of a special bulb shield which completely prevents light leaving the lamp directly from the bulb, because this is the light which is then reflected back from fog, rain drops or snow flakes. The body of the lamp is made of particularly strong die cast zinc with reinforcing ribs and has a black grained finish.
Inside the body, there is a holding device for a replacement bulb. The rim is triple chromed, has a matt finish and withstands the worst weather. In addition to the versions with 55W bulbs (fog lamps and driving lamps), there is also a Bella Rallye 2000 for specific rally use as wide angle cornering lamp, floodlight driving lamp (similar to road version), and pencil beam spot lamp.
