Its Chinese 9000lmSomething's wrong here. The 9000lm bulbs I see are 80-90 watts, not 30 as shown here. Goffy's 5000 unit is 30 watts.

Read back through this thread and it seems that anyone that has purchased these items is pleased with the performance.Something's wrong here. The 9000lm bulbs I see are 80-90 watts, not 30 as shown here. Goffy's 5000 unit is 30 watts.
This light is fantastic.
Outperforms a very good H4 60/55 Halogen at night. The previous LEDs I've tried have all been very bright but poorly focussed for night riding.
This one is brighter yet and perfectly focussed.

Satisfied customer.Yes, working with positive earth on my bike.
Also ok with negative earth.

Actually, they use a constant current source rather than a voltage regulator. But the results are the same - constant output over a wide input range.All LED's run at 5V internally, the voltage regulation circuit sorts out both the +/- problem and converts 9 to 32V to 5V. So the up to refers to dipped and main difference, nothing to do with voltage supply as long as its in range of 9 to 32V..
For brake leds, I much prefer the array type setups, where leds are arranged over a flat circuit board to spread out the light output. A common issue for the " bulb" look-a-like setups is they do not give a wider light spread even in the lamps with reflectors. So you end up with bright pin points for braking. I got my Commando brake led array from Dynamoregulatorconversions in UK and been quite happy with it.Have to be seen from the rear too. I don't want the dreaded "Hinda Civic Enema"!
Ordered these for the stop/tail light.

I got mine from bulbsthatlastforever before they sold out to BCS. Thecompanydidnotlastforever.

I canceled the 1157 type LED and will get the lightboard taillight from Goffs.For brake leds, I much prefer the array type setups, where leds are arranged over a flat circuit board to spread out the light output.

I want maximum rear visibility for safety reasons.Goff’s ‘normal’ LED stop and tail bulbs are actually bloody good.
But his light boards are better!
Oh crap. you just added another layer of engineering! Maybe at some point, but I already have a long list of reliability and safety modifications on the winter project menu.Well, in that case the light board is definitively your best option.
But if you REALLY want that, then you should consider adding to it with LED indicators what double as stop and tail lights. Kinda like this…

Blimey you've got your tree up early this year!Well, in that case the light board is definitively your best option.

Bumping this to the top.
Same here.You realise Dan. if you lived in the UK you could pump all your excess electrical power back into the national grid and get paid for it!
Wiring is shown on one of the links you provided.Bumping this to the top.
I am using all of these components and want to know how to properly wire the connector.
Yes it shows several options on the connector link but I'm not sure which is correct.Wiring is shown on one of the links you provided.
Use the standard H4 wiring. Color codes of wires are in the schematics pages here in tech articles.Yes it shows several options on the connector link but I'm not sure which is correct.
