Here’s the view from the saddle…

They’re not the greatest quality photos as it was a bummer keeping the camera still with shutter speed of 1/2 at f2.8! However they give a good idea of the beam patterns, particularly clear is how useless main beam is on the Tenere.

A few things to bare in mind: (1) The LED spots are aimed downward slightly as I’ve set them up to fill the void left on main beam (illustrated quite well in the pictures), so they would go a lot further if set up dead ahead. (2) Both headlamps use Ring 55w +80% bulbs. (3) All six photos were taken with the same camera settings. (4) I live at the arse end of nowhere so it is proper dark with no light pollution. (5) Two fence posts are 18m and 30m away, and the fence panel at the end of the lane is 75m.

Dip only (just about scrapes 30m)...


Main only (look at the 18m of dark in front of the bike)...
