One last note
Typical Motorcycle Headlight output: 700 lumens
High end Motorcycle Headlight output: 1200 lumens
Achieving equivalent intensity requires using arrays of high power LEDs, in groups of anywhere from 3 to 9 individual LEDs.
You also have to be mindful of the angle of output of the LED. The model of LED I intend to use for my next electric motorcycle project has a 180 degree output and will require a collimator in order to utilize all of its light output.
As such I may end up making a second chapter of this guide to cover such models that do not have factory optics options.
