I installed the 6v light in the XL, which actually has a Yamaha YT headlight installed. First off, it's bright... really bright. The 6v H4 bulb I had in there wasn't nearly as bright. I assume the reflector wasn't right for the H4 either, but the bulbs sided-by-side are clearly a different brightness. I flogged the hell out of the bike today in the dirt- jumping it and flying over moguls and washboard at full throttle. Git u some of these.
Looks great! When do you plan to have these for sale? I have been looking to replace my hid with a less cumbersome led and I'm not sure I like what is available on the market currently
It's a fan. The cooling is active which is why we're able to get a lower profile bulb. You can only just make out the sound of the fan when the bike is on, but not running, and definitely can't hear it all with the engine running.

Won't prevent me from buying these for sure... "but" the heat issue has been a major part of the commercial LED debacle, the diodes can last for 50K hours "but" the drivers have proven to fail faster than a fluorescent ballast due to heat dissipation in dead space. The T8 tubes that were so popular are failing at an amazing 60+% and counting in under 1yr. I personally sent last week 65 MR16 lamps to TCP that failed all in one month at only 12-1600 hrs... Cooling fans!! whoda thunk?
Whats the consumption/life expectancy of the fan... PC type stuff?
I'm still waiting on final marginal cost from the manufacturer, but I'm about 90% sure on that price point. And as always, no shipping costs for USA customers.
Although, I had a computer fan that lasted 14 years operating inside a refrigerator. But it also wasn't exposed to the vibration environment of a bike.
The fan (and associated electronics) is meant to be moisture resistant. It can definitely deal with condensation and the like, but full on water will be a no-no. Keep your headlight bucket from filling up and you should be OK.
I haven't yet tested a unit with a bad fan, so I'm not entirely sure. That might be an interesting idea. Disable the fan, turn on the high beam, then wait and see what happens...
