LED Head light???

jawnn · Jul 23, 2009

Is there an LED car or motor cycle head lamp? 12 volt 1000 or 2000 lumins? I need a beam wide enough to see the road at 20 ft.

this is not to fit any specific vehichle....I want to put it on my trike.

I've made custom battery boxes in the past for special application as well, so that would not be a problem.

Once again, take a look at Vision X lighting...

If you're willing to try one of mine, I'll give it to you for materials cost only. $75 for the light and around $50 for a battery setup. It also has low medium and high so you won't blind people.

At brightnesses that bright I think you may be better off with HID, no doubt you're not going to wanna build a multi emitter MC-E monster as it would be prohibitively expensive to get as many emitters and lenses (reflector based would only blind everyone around you) as you'll need to keep it efficient. Overdriving a few MC-E's will net you less efficiency than an HID so that's probably not a good idea either in terms of longevity of the led and power consumption.

LED Headlights have heating problem issues. i therefore don't use LEDs on my car's headlights.

to bring up an old post, I've used the 24v Mil-spec Trucklite LED headlights on a truck I'm restoring, and while a major improvement on the sealed-beam junk, I'm not totoally impressed with them.
