pelican said:In a lot of ways they seem perfect for a commando- last forever, withstand vibration, and have lower power consumption. The technology is changing so fast that better ones are coming out every 2 or 3 months. Was just wondering if anyone was using them yet, and maybe get a firsthand report on the brightness?
I know the led kit I used on my tail light is way brighter than stock. I believe it can be either + or - ground so there has to be some way to convert a headlight for +.
I've been stalling around with the LED headlamp idea because the the "color" of these latest offerings makes me nervous and keeps going up, 6500 now 8500, they are far too white, look too "new". Good for a new Mercedes or earthship Lambo, maybe.
But I just saw these last night, adjustable for RH or LH dip, 2300 lumen (about twice halogen), 3000k, polarity not an issue, pull about 1/3 the current of halogen, might just write them and see if they will sell just one instead of the pair.

The CYCLOPS 3800 Lumen I have in my bike is great, had to do a late night ride of some hours due to detours and club president crash traffic delay on the way to the NZ NOC rally recently, found the LED is less tiring on the eyes, love it

ThanksRhys, the CYCLOPS 3800 is an easy fit , you will need a H4 fitting on your wiring and a lens to accommodate the CYCLOPS globe.
there is a module between the globe and the H4 plug, this will sort your polarity for you if you still have positive ground (earth) like I still have. Just plug and go!
It doesnt have cooling ribbons, it has a cooling fan built in and is only just audible when the engine is not running.

This where I got mine from as they are not available in New Zealand
