Snopczynski Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 What is the lumens per watt with LED Snop??? 80 lumens per watt. http://www.visionxoffroad.com/led/s1100/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001Stroker Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Those are bright as shit. I have one question though. Why do they require a conversion? Every LED I've ever seen will run off AC or DC power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 9-50v dc pulse width modulated transformer in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blowit Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 9-50v dc pulse width modulated transformer in it. Why would they need PWM control circuits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Because they are multi volt 9-50v. He sells these things to Nasa, and truck drivers as well. They have tons of uses, they weren't just made for quads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even most of the new quads being made are all dc with batteries as well. So this setup fits the bill for quite a few applications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still trying to find a good reason why someone would put a micro controller in a headlight unless the intensity is to be adjustable. Just seems a more complicated way to go. There are much easier solutions for allowing for a 9-50V variable input. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003LimitedBanshee Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Okay question from an electrical infant, I think it was mentioned that you can do the DC conversion without the battery, but you will not be able to run the lights while the bike is not running? As odd as it may sound, I'm not real concerned with running the lights while the bike is off. I ride with enough 4-stroke guys that they can run their lights if we stop at night. Thanks! Snop, PM'ing you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their main warehouse and office is about 10 miles from my house. Why are you trying to find something wrong with what I am telling you?

Their main warehouse and office is about 10 miles from my house. Why are you trying to find something wrong with what I am telling you? Not at all. I just cannot figure it out. Since we do a bunch of work with LEDs, we have only had one reason to use PWM for LED lighting. I was wondering if this is giving the light a variable intensity for high and low performance. No, I am not totally sold on LED lighting yet as I do not think they quite meet the candle power of HID but to be honest, I have every confidence LED will take over at some point. Probably more so when LED becomes cheaper than HID lighting and advantageous for OEMs. Some people are probably closer to the technology bubble than we are though. I like the simplicity of LED and shock performance is good making them a certain candidate for off road use. By the way, I really like the modular configuration of those lights. I can see where certain industries could really like that idea. B Edited April 1, 2009 by blowit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
