Title: LED Light Options DC
Post by: havinnoj on February 27, 2020, 07:15:39 PM
Working on my lighting setup.  Utilizing Ricky Stator 40W AC stator (will be about 30W DC), Trailtech rectifier, Trailtech battery). 

What are people running?  I'm having a hard time finding quality lights are small enough AND under the wattage (25 total for the front) since I'll have provisions for rear brake light and lighted whip (though doubt I'll use them much really).  And what beam pattern are folks liking on the sand?

2 KC Flex - 10W/ea - 1950 lumens - could run one spot & one flood?

1 Baja Designs S2 Pro - 24W - 2450 lumens - 2 led's but on one unit so lacks some redundancy

2 Baja Designs S2 Sports - 12W/ea - 2260 lumens - 2 units / 4 total LED's

I haven’t used Baja designs but I like their products.  The 5000k daylight is not so bright and almost blue like most LEDs. Most are 5700k plus.  They are supposed to be easily serviceable.  Next leds I buy will be amber.  Bright leds are worthless when riding in a group.  They light up every dust particle and grain of sand.

Thanks Michael.  That's great feedback - I did see a video comparing the two and the KC is lower color temp versus the BD being brighter (whiter/bluer).

KC is less than 5000?   Interesting.  I thought BD was lower than most.  Rigid is 5700.

Now you have me second guessing.  I'll have to go find that video.
