Well there's goes the last vintage flavor of candle light tinited lighting. ...

Fitment:
universal

The LED is finally able to produce enough light to be a viable headlight bulb. Instead of placing surface mount LEDs around in a circle, our design uses dual 180 degree CREE emitters on both the top and bottom of the 'bulb'. The center of the LED is in exactly the same place as where light comes from in a standard Halogen bulb. So what does that mean? It means that the light projected from the LED array will hit the headlight reflector exactly the same way your halogen bulb does. This is important.

The regulated power supply uses an H7 connector and is plug and play to the bike. This unit supplies power to both the LED array and the fan. The fan is simply to create a small amount of air flow, not to chill. The fan screws on to the back of the 'bulb'. A spacer is included for the fan to keep the blades clear of the headlights rubber cover.

The LED design is instant on, no flicker and unaffected by temperature and power cycling (when your headlight is turned off by pressing the starter button).

So how does it compare to the stock Halogen bulb?
halogen LED
lumen 1050 1800
amps 5 2
watts 55 25

Available in single or dual.

$69.95/single, $129.95/dual

So who will be the first Guinea pig? I'm still sceptical of these things :idea:

Note the warning in the ebay item:

In order to make sure these bulbs fit or work, you must measure your old bulb
 
Interesting! though am not crazy about the fan and these are very likely negative ground only (but they COULD possibly have a bridge rectifier input and work w/ positive or negative ground)....at least it appears that the LED is placed right to work with the reflector...that is a lot of stuff to fit in the headlight reflector. In the meantime since I rarely ride my Commando after dark I run a 45/45W H4 bulb and it keeps the battery charged no problem, also FWIW scooter shops also carry 35/35W H4 bulbs. Hopefully there will be an economical integrated 7'' unit soon, the first few like the Trucklight were $300, now down to $180 or so...per the link below some new units will be out next year

I assume that you need a dual to get high and low beam?

If so it's bloody expensive. For some bikes that have crowded headlamp shells such as airheads, the length of the unit would make it impossible to fit
