Zinfan, the problem I see is that the low beam and the high beam aren't very different as far as where the top of the pattern is, so if I set the lamp to not bother other drivers on low beam, going to high beam won't light up more distant road much better. I don't expect it will be a problem for me, because of the not riding at night thing. And in city night riding, it wouldn't be a problem either, since in the city you never get to use high anyway.I meant to measure the alternator "break even" RPM after my ride yesterday, but I forgot. I'll try to do that soon. I'm hoping it's down in the low 2,000 range now. It was originally not much under 3,000.
Thanks for posting and the big effort to get the beam shots.As Ive said in this thread many times, do not expect to get a bunch more distance out of this or any other bulb you can put in your stock housing.I would say the photos show a dramatic upgrade from the stock bulb.What you should expect is a brighter better working headlight that will allow you to see better and let other vehicles see you better.On some bikes you do get more projection due to the design of that particular reflector, If you want distance LED Aux lights are the way to go.Thank you again and Great Job
Thanks for posting his reply. I understand your point and agree. I was just trying to include what I learned for guys who might be thinking of getting one, as you did before I got mine. I'm very happy with it. Like I said, if I need to do a substantial amount of night riding and the lack of low beam cutoff is a problem, I can temporarily install the QH bulb. I don't expect to have to do that.
What? ???No....... ::)
High powered LED drivers are still a work on progress IMHO.
