I will let you know :glasses9: I have just gone and order them. So when I have fitted them I will take some pictures and you will be able to see for youself's. They will reduce the wattage by a very large amount. |
Thank you for the replies guys, lots of options to look at. Have ordered some of the LED side lights but didnt know how to get discount so i put a querie in with the paypal payment.
The LED bulbs look like some kind of satalite array tower!!! Any of the more electrically minded members have any comments on them? What watt rating would 6000k be? Would you have to run a resistor to get the loom to register it without a fault? Answers in laymans terms please as i dont know Olms law, wear an anorak or visit maplins...... Mark |

I have ordered the H3 LEDs so I will let you know, they should not throw up a fault because I have wired through a relay direct to the battery. I will keep you posted with a update when they arrive. |
Rick,
i did use the link so hopefully i will get the discount. So you bulbs you linked to are replacements for the fogs not the dip and main? I seem to remember the dip/main bulbs being H7 now i come to think of it. If they work they would be an adeal solutuion to the problem. Any idea what 6000K is in WATTS? I like the look of the bike with the fogs fitted so i dont really want to lose them, but if i carnt use them how intended i would have to look at something else. Postie strike is going to play havock with getting goodies soon.... :( mark |
Hi,
have had a bit of a search on E-bay for H3 LED and came up with these. A bit more info on the bulbs, so if the sparkies on here would have a look and see what they think please? http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=h...w=h3&_osacat=0 Mark |

Hi Mark they are to replace the bulbs in the fog lights H3
http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/H3_11-WHP.htm They will be similar to these but brighter |

Mark, I think it will be about a maximum 4 watts (FOUR) which will be 6000k=30 watts is comparison abit like the low wattage house hold bulbs lower watts but same light output, well I will soon find out. By the way I got my blue sidelights from Bikvis and one of them started to play up last week, I dropped him a email on Tuesday to tell him that one was not working and I have received 2 replacements in the post today Thursday, Brilliant customer service |
The information given on these is a little worrying, most of the radiance (this is the meansure of lumes or LM) values are 25.
To convert LM to candle power you divide it by 12.5. So a light with 25LM is just over 2 candle power!!! That just doesn't sound right does it ? When you consider a good set of car driving lights can deliver around 1000 candle power In this link : -> http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/H3_11-WHP.htm it states "These bulbs are suitable for Daytime Running Lamps only - they do not produce enough light for useful illumination at night" which kind of backs up the physics So these are more of a low power (and at just under 1/2 watt it's pretty good) means of providing road presence rather than illumination of the road. The ebay links are suprisingly devoid of any usefull information, or disclaimers, although they do specify the LM. It's not very British is that, makes out they are replacement Fog bulbs when really they are DRL (daytime running lights) With all that considerd, if you just want to be seen then these H'x' LEDs are a good way forward. Match that up with 100W main beam and you've got a reasonable setup to see. You would still have the dead area from the loss of dip beam though. The alternative is to fit some BikVis button LEDs, and change the fogs to driving lights, set one into the distance and the other to cover the dead ground in front of the bike (although, really your eyes should be looking in the distance, not what's in front of your wheel!) |
