Thinking about these LED aux lights

[Dave77459]

I was on Adventure Rider (ADVRider) and came across this post, where a fellah sells LED spot/flood lights. (Vendor Link) They seem very bright and he has run them on his off road bike, so they would seem durable.

 

I'm mulling over installing them off the front brake mount, to be on only when I have high beams on. Or maybe the 10w on all the time, and the 24w with the high beam. The photos through page 2 on ADVRider are pretty impressive.

 

The other place I've wanted to mount aux lights are on the mirrors, but I am not sure how to do that. Maybe some PIAA HIDs would go there... or these.

 

Just another option for y'all.

I couldn't see anything that was 24 watt ...??

Very interesting. I suspect that the dimmer, (PWM), produces a lot of RFI. It doesn't look like any of these guys have radios on their bikes so they would never be bothered. Very tempting.

 

Please keep us informed if you buy and mount any of these LED lights.

450 lumens is not a lot for 10 watts.

 

If they had one P7 LED per housing you could get 900 lumens for your 10 watts.

The 24 watt is 1500 lumens. The blog has quite a few light pattern photos from folks that have them on their bikes. They do seem to provide quite a bit of usable light in the photos.

I wouldn't even consider installing those on the venture they aren't chrome.

I ride an RSTD, so I don't have to worry about a radio either. Although, I've hear that some of the LED aux lights make noise beyond the cowling.
