Using high powered spot lights on a public roads is rude and dangerous. And using dimmers doesn't help. If you reduce the power to the extend the light will not blind the oncoming traffic, they will not illuminate the road.

Genka, are you infected by those mods and admins from candlepowerforum? i saw your thread there and as usual their usual response are expected.

Yes i know that, my aux lights are not on all the time, only in situations when the high beams are needed.

Well on my bike the stock high and low beam uses the same bulb and wattage giving the same amount of light. Only diiference is the reflector design that points the direction of beam.

JWSpeaker makes highway legal DOT complaint lights. I think they are the sole maker of DOT LED lights for bikes. Also they OEM for Harley.



As you can see, the optics look strikingly different from all other aftermarket lights.

These may turn night into day but a buddy has these and they do ZERO for daytime conspicuity.

People on that forum are self righteous to the extreme. Anyway, I found what I needed without them. If the parts I ordered will work as intended, I might be able to improve on the light and maybe make it even better than TT or Cyclops offerings.

Yes, these lights are intended to through the light on the road while avoiding eyes of other drivers. To improve daytime visibility it would be the best to use large lights with flood or wide elliptical beam.

Good thread. I wonder what's brighter.

The 10W single LEDs

OR something with FIVE XM-L T6

Even the 3X seems really bright http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ai7CJAgNQt0

Unfortunately I can't find any XM-L 12v lights. They all seem to come with 8.4V battery packs..
