[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1365575, member: 19880"] 7000 lumens (on high beam) is a lot of light - half that on low beam is STILL a lot of light. After a certain point, I am wondering if it is a good idea to put out that much light. Driver may never get his "night vision" and oncoming traffic is likely to be dazzled no matter how good the cutoff might be. (Especially when there are reflections from wet roads etc.) The more I see and read about LED lighting systems, the more I think light quality (color temperature and beam pattern) are more important than raw power. I was puzzled by one statement in the ad: [I][B]Emitters Lifespan: 30,000 hours[/B][/I] (Do not expect this bulb to last longer than your vehicle) At 30,000 hours and an average speed of perhaps 40 MPH, we are looking at 1,200,000 miles. I know that an FJR is long-lived but I haven't seen many bikes with over a million miles on them! (Math is HARD!!) [/QUOTE]
