Officer Dave Posted February 23, 2011 #1 Posted February 23, 2011 Hoping some has some insight for me. Has anyone purchased L E DS from www.superbrightleds.com If so how good are they and are they as bright as they say. Any info would be great. Thanks
Sylvester Posted February 23, 2011 #2 Posted February 23, 2011 To me it doesn't matter which LED you use, they are so much brighter than incadescent bulbs. I have had my LED's on since 2003 and they still give great light to warn the cagers.
Officer Dave Posted February 23, 2011 Author #3 Posted February 23, 2011 Thanks alot Jim. I put LED lights in all my signals and now i want to put blue LEDS in and arround the bike for a nice bright blue glow affect. I had a guy tell me about www.superbrightleds.com He said a friend of his said they were a good web sight to buy from and a good product. I was just wondering if that was true or not. Im looking to do my RSTD and my wife Vstar 650 up in the blue lights
TDunc Posted February 23, 2011 #4 Posted February 23, 2011 What about the LEO's and those blue lights? I have blue on mine and I have had several tell me they are not legal. They really make a nice look on my white and chrome.
KeithR Posted February 23, 2011 #5 Posted February 23, 2011 Here's a link for a LED supplier in Canada www.canadiancruisercustomizing.com Keith
jfoster Posted February 23, 2011 #6 Posted February 23, 2011 What about the LEO's and those blue lights? I have blue on mine and I have had several tell me they are not legal. They really make a nice look on my white and chrome. I personally don't care bout the blue LEDs as long as they're not visible from the front and don't strobe. Depends alot on ur local leo's and how tolerant they are. MC's around my area are pretty low key.
GOINtoHELL Posted February 23, 2011 #7 Posted February 23, 2011 I used the LEDs from custom dynamics http://www.customdynamics.com/Yamaha_tail_retro.htm and I must say that they are bright even in the day.
steve crossley Posted February 23, 2011 #8 Posted February 23, 2011 ya! i just installed two of 7 inch lt series smd light tubes .they are super super bright . out standing in fact. dont think you can go wrong with there products
1 - UP Posted February 23, 2011 #9 Posted February 23, 2011 What about the LEO's and those blue lights? I have blue on mine and I have had several tell me they are not legal. They really make a nice look on my white and chrome. I put blue lights, ground affects all over my trike. However, having been in Law Enforcement, I know that I can't run down the street with them on. I only turn them on when I'm sitting in a parking lot. They do look nice with all that chrome and on a white bike. You just can't run with blue light on. Ken
Flyinfool Posted February 23, 2011 #10 Posted February 23, 2011 I have bought a lot of stuff from Superbrightleds.com, they are a good company to deal with. That is where I got the led stripd for lighting up the reflector on my trunk. I just found a new place (in china) that has super cheap prices on LEDs. SatisLED.com and Satistronics.com they are two divisions in the same company. Prices are roughly half of anywhere else that I found. They are only good if you are not in a big hurry. Unless you are willing to pay more for faster shipping, their standard shipping claims 5-20 business days to the USA, and the shipper uses all of it. Here is the link for the 5 meter long LED strips that I got Select your color and then select the black background. I just ordered another 1500 LEDs (Some discreet LEDs and some strips) from them, mostly for my scoot.....
BuddyRich Posted February 23, 2011 #11 Posted February 23, 2011 I just ordered another 1500 LEDs Won't be needing that headlight on any more:rotf:
Flyinfool Posted February 23, 2011 #12 Posted February 23, 2011 Lets just say there will be NO excuse for not seeing me. 1500 was not a typo.
Officer Dave Posted February 24, 2011 Author #13 Posted February 24, 2011 Thanks for all the info guys. As I am not sure as to the legalites in the U.S.A here in Ontario under the Highway Traffic Act as long as the leds are projected straight down and do not strobe they are legal. The only colour lights than can be projected front rear or side is amber up here.
DONATALIE Posted February 27, 2011 #14 Posted February 27, 2011 PA has some of the most restrictive rules when it comes to motorcycles (except loud exhausts, of course). However, section 4310 of the Vehicle Code (Title 75) specifically authorizes: "Auxiliary lighting may be added to a motorcycle to protect the driver, including blue dot illumination, standard bulb running lights and light-emitting diode (LED) pods and strips." Go figure, but then again, our legislature would like to have people who don't wear their seatbelts drawn and quartered, but will allow motorcyclists to ride without a helmet. Again, go figure...Don, from PA.
