Full LED's

[BHarvey]

Finally got full LED lighting on my bike.
Main brake light is using a Custom Dynamics 'Genesis' 2" 48 led cluster.
Aux brake lights are Hyper-Lites '3-way' running, flashing brake and turn signals.
Headlights are Clearwater Lights HPLED 'Krista's'.

The main focus was to be more easily seen, both front and rear.
The HyperLites gave a unique benefit of being so bright and annoying that people just DO NOT ride my butt anymore. I think the reason you see a lot of jacktard's riding a motorcyclist's butt is they can't see the dim factory brake light. The HyperLites solve this problem in a massive way.

The headlights are flat amazing all the way around. Today, or tonight, was my first night riding with them. No one 'flashed' me so I guess 'off axis' spill is very well controlled, even at 50% power which is around 2700 lumens.

I did start with them angled on the low side and need to bring them up but will keep tabs on if I start getting 'flashed'.

I guess the brake/running/turns/drl's on the car are next....

Hella expensive!

I'd like to see a H3 LED 'bulb' that's at least as strong as the 55W halogene low beam. That way I could have full LED lighting without equipping extra lights like these 'Krista's' things. Which are expensive like hell. Extra lights are considered illegal here, and I especially don't want to use any when I'm touring abroad - but I hope I could get away with the H3 LEDs, especially if they're not too blue.

Wow you are not kidding, $649 for a pair of Kristas, that is more than I've ever paid for a motorcycle Glad they are working though, I have to look at the options here. 36 watts input for "186 watts" worth of light.
