3800 Lumen H4 LED Headlight

I fitted these too soon after the heads up from idk; haven't had a single car flash me yet (and it's all night time riding over the winter)

To illustrate;

I put a set of the cyclops LED bulbs in my Dodge Challenger. I had previously installed plasma halo rings which then made my stock H4 bulbs look dingy yellow. I'm really pleased with the cyclops bulbs. We'll see how long they last. One thing that would concern me on a Rocket is the Cyclops bulbs have little cooling fans on the heat sink. Not sure if they would get enough cool air inside a headlight shell. Has anyone been running them for awhile ?

I had this concern too but a few pics of my Rocket setup emailed to cyclops who said that's fine no problem at all put my mind at ease

Who did these light meter tests?

3800 lumens...wow...that must generate alot of heat.

I will start with a set of "Hyper Lites" for the rear as these cell phone idiots are always ready to run you down from behind at the stoplights....

I was looking at my R3 Classic....The lights are anemic for sure....Is this a reflector issue as I cannot imagine how one would wedge all that Cyclops gear in there and not melt it nor affect even dispersion.

Very interesting product. Is this anemic headlight issue just with the Rocket or all Triumphs?

PS...Surprised CREE is not doing auto retrofit packages direct..The market is huge.
 

All motors have crap for OEM headlights!
Motors tested have averaged out at 122.7 feet object identification!!!
Cars tested (9000 series) average out at 252.5 feet object identification! Those with HID even better.
For comparison, my Daymakers have tested over 300 feet for object identification.

I'm not. None of the "H4" LED bulbs are legal. H4 is a technical specification on filament location and light emmision, it's impossible to make a H4 LED bulb. Cree would have to make complete headlights so other than the basic interchangeable round or square headlight its not cost effective.

I really do not care if they are DOT legal; this would be an issue if you hit someone at night by you blinding them and they sued you. Not sure how Xenons got DOT approval...I care about lowering amp draw over a Halogen and being to see at night versus the orange beams thrown by this Rocket. I have a 2013 Infiniti M37 with CRAZY bright Xenon's and even on low beams I have people flashing me.

On the Rocket I do know if I switched to LED's I'd be trading "throw" for short distance visiblility as the H4 Halogens have the parabolic reftlector built into the bulb the throw the beam back against the reflector.

I want to see and be seen...That is the most important factor in me not becoming road kill at night from a cage......**** the DOT...We do not have light nazi in SC so these look viable if the heatsinks were not so horking huge.

Interesting topic and check this...Looks like Xenons are legal below a certain Kelvin.

You may not care but Cree does and that is why they don't do retrofit packages. If your getting flashed on low beam either your headlights are misaimed or more likely they are wasting a lot of lighting by scattering where it does you no good.
