LED Auxiliary Lighting solution!

[wonky]

We've just secured a supply of the truly excellent Vision X Solstice 10w LED lights.

They're really versatile, massively powerful with a tiny power draw(10watts for 900lumens!), reliable and robust(limited Lifetime Warranty).

Helmet light
aux lights
fog lights
mountain bike lights

As well as the 10deg spot and wide/low 45/15deg pods carrying the full range of battery packs, mounting kits and wiring harness. We are working on a few bike specific mounts which should surface in a few weeks (tenere + F800gs for now)

Have a peak at the info on our site and PM me for a coupon for a very special deal until the new year.

check out this video from an ADVrider fitting them to a Husky. A solution for those trail-rides that run over into the night.

Very good - but i have a yamaha that has good lights,alternator and doesn't blow bulbs.

do i still need these ?

 

[wonky]

what a strange question. OF COURSE YOU NEED THEM!

if you're happy with your lighting setup i guess not.
A lot of folk on here seem to like extra lighting for the added road presence as a safety feature.

Whats good with these is the very small additional draw on the electrical system for the massive additional light output.

Wonky, is £88 for a pair or each light

[wonky]

hmmm

 

[Uncle Ricky]

hmmm

I have not got one of them eitheir for the same reason.

 

[Steve the Kiwi]

hmmm

on a serious note; are they as bright? do they project the light as well?

 

[wonky]

a pair of the solstice are similar. ive not run them side by side with the TT units but have run them next to my 40w Trailtech SCMR16(these are reknown for being insanely bright but a bit tempremantal, not really suitable for big trailie use). the light from the solstice has a far nicer spread, is less spotty and of same brightness (trailtech is 1850 lumens).
The solstice are waterproof, extremely robust, simple to wire and have an instant startup. They're really low hassle.

hmmm

These are simply HiDifyed Hella Micro DE's with the usual TT mark-up


I have a question!

Do your LED lights have an actual beem pattern, or more of an opaque glow?

Could you (for instance) ride a Mountain bike off road through the woods at night at speed with one?

180 quid a pair ?

plus shipping ?

thats nearly $400 !!

good luck

i'm out

 

[wonky]

actually, if we shipped them to the US (which we cant do as we're UK distributors for these products) they'd be $286 dollars delivered as you dont pay any VAT. anyway, pm me for a coupon code if you're here for a deal and in the EU (not spain or sweden!)

have a look at the discussions elsewhere and see what the buying public have to say.........

I use one of these on my Airhead - SCMR16 HID Spot

It's a very good light which I used off road at night and found it punches a long range and enables me to maintain a fair pace, if your LED's are a match then they seem good value at £88. I'm also assuming that being an LED you can switch them on and off when used as a high beam, the HID is best switched on and left on.

 

[Wreford Miles]

I've just ordered a 10 degree spot for my 650 XC which I will wire to be switched when I use main beam... If it's anything like my SCMR 16 HID I will consider that I've had a real bargin.

 

[wonky]

we had chance to eye a solstice light up against a KTM 950 low beam with a 35W HID conversion today..
we were pretty surprised and pleased with the results. The solstice really improved vision and visibility against a far more 'powerful' HID light with a large reflector, the flat spread helping to pick out detail and light up the verge.
The light in the photos below is the style we rejected as its a bit 'ringy' so the spots we are getting are a much smoother more consistent light.
We're reckoning a 45/15 activated by the low beam and a spot on the high would be a great combo on this bike.

HID overlapped with Solstice

 

[Wreford Miles]

Mines just arrived, it seems like a well made piece of kit.

 

[wonky]

let us know how you get on with the Solstice Wreford.

We fired up the 45/15degree wide beams the other day and its a real 'tight' beam. Very wide with a sharp cut-off to the top and bottom. Should make good 'fog'/low aux lights. I'll get some photos as soon as we get some on a bike.
