They are rated at 27 watts. More details here.

The pattern is exactly what I was looking for. Not too narrow, not too scattered. The light output is nothing short of amazing. It is hard to tell that my 35 watt HID headlights are even on with these on. With shipping, it was about $68 for the pair. But they are physically large and won't work with many bikes.

I'm also experimenting with a set of 15 watt ultra cheap lights. They are smalled for a different bike. They are built pretty poorly though and I have low expectations from those.

Looks like a decent set of lights, and some people like a larger size!

I've had several PIAA products on several bikes and one truck I did a lot of not nice shit to off road, for a lot of miles. Never failed, lamp life always exceeded expectations. Sometimes you get what you pay for if you're really going to put something to use. The question is do you want to pay once, or...

The 1100 LED is what's going on my street bike forks once classes pick back up and I have some extra cash.

Would be great to hear what you think once you get them.

Very positive online review

The first night ride was a revelation. Frankly, I didn't know what to expect from LEDs, so I was absolutely dazzle (no pun intended) by the quality of the beam. The white light of the PIAA made the OEM H4 bulb look like a dying flashlight. Despite the narrow beam, they did a fantastic job of lighting the edges of the road, and no lie, I could see at least a mile down the road.
