    I see a lot of LED and energy saving light bulbs advertise the brightness equal to a conventional bulb, maybe it's equal to an 80w conventional bulb in brightness but actually doesn't draw as much as the stock bulb.

    Yes. The one I bought is advertised to draw only 7 watts.

    So why would they rate it at 80w?

    Dunno. But it appears to be a lot brighter than the stock 35 watt incandescent bulb, and also the 45 watt one that I ran for a while, neither of which the output could be called anything other than romantic as in candle light dinner romantic.:rolleyes:

    Led emitters are listed at the equivalent incandescent rating. It's the easiest way to market them.

    Wow, that's too much $ that they are asking for on Amazon!
    Well if worse comes to worst, I can always wire it directly to the battery with an on/off switch. That's what one guy on our local dualsport forum did with his, after he installed it and it "strobed" at lower RPMs. He has been running his for a couple of years now that way with no problems.

    Oh, I did not know that. I will give it try. Hopefully it will work on one of the huskies. If not, no biggy. I am no expert in electricity, as far as I know, my son can switch on the light on the 125 without running the engine, while I cannot do it on the 510 ( it needs to be running ).

    If thats the case it has a battery and DC so should work.

    yes

    The last I looked into it LEDs are DC friendly but there are bulbs/lamps available that can keep the bulb from blinking/cycling rapidly due to the cycling of AC current.
    On many alternators/dynamos there are both AC and DC taps.
    If there is no DC tap or battery Trail Tech and others make a rectifier/regulator for AC output only alternators.



    Good find DD! I'm going to order a couple:)

    All the new Christmas lights are led,and that plugs in to the house ac circuit. Funny; that explains why they seem to strobe out of the corner of my eye.

    My testing could be a little delayed, my son has just crashed on his way back from saturday running practice. No big deal, a couple of scratches and bruises here and then on the bike and rider, but his mother and I are now a bit reluctant to let him ride whatever the weather is ( today was lesson 1: sm tyres don't work too well on snow... )

    Any idea if or when Trail Tech will have a number plate led product like baja designs? Maybe a replacement bulb and reflector kit for existing X2 systems?

    We have two amazing prototypes, both flamethrowers and well designed. Not sure if or when they will be produced. We are highly focused on computer development right now.

    Because many people don't know what a lumen is but they know how bright their xx watt incandescent/halogen bulb is, so i think its more about consumer understanding or lack thereof.
