3800 Lumen H4 LED Headlight

[idk]

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.

They generate almost no heat, but a lot of light. It is what is called efficiency.

The OEM headlights on the older RIIIs, including the Classic, are not only useless, but dangerous. A good quality H4 will improve things, but the headlight bypass (such as Eastern Beaver) is essential to get full voltage to the headlights, and so provide full lighting power - and save the ignition switch. These 3800 lumen lights will then blow all the above out of the water and generate almost no heat in comparison.

All these LED put out around 3,000 RAW lumens, which is based upon calculations and means little in the real world environment.
The pattern the light(s) cast that produces effective object identification for the rider is the true nitty-gritty.

I don't know anything about that. All I know is that once I was dim, but now I am bright.

With my Hella E-code buckets, Piaa high output bulbs and Eastern Beaver Kit,
I can see but I still wouldn't say I'm bright

Whilst I may remain dim, my motor stands out bright!
Anyone coming to RAA XI running the new 8630 Evolutions or the older 8630.
Thinking about bringing my small light meter to perhaps do some minor comparison testing.

Next your going pull out a tape measure

Indeed!
Shall need to find a dark large area, have a rider sitting on the motor, engine running, whilst we find and measure the pattern (width and length) for human identification distances (.3 candle power / 3.2 lux).
Likely need a couple 100' tapes at least.
Any interest in doing this?

Well that's a relief ! I thought you might want to measure............well you know........

NOT I, THAT - WAY TOO BASHFUL!
