Hi Folks, Got myself a pair of LED spotlights. I recall there was a recent thread about this, but I've not managed to find it so far. Can anyone please advise where they'd recommend taking a power feed? Thanks, Nik
Mine run from a Touratech TPS 15 power distribution box. Makes adding all of the accessories a hell of a lot easier as I have an action cam, iphone (satnav) charger, aux lights, USB charger for pillion and, when I finally finish it, my homebrew chain oiler.
If you don't want to go splashing on a TPS 15, just go get a relay and then you can run them from the battery with a switched trigger (sat nav wire). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thank you. Only issue I can see at present is they have three modes - low, high, and flashing. I'd ideally like to run them off the satnav wire, but I suspect I'll have to fit a switch so that I can turn them on and off to get the mode I require.
Any way you can see if you can disable the flashing? Can be really funny for things like MOT. I've fit a switch to mine, just a standard maplin toggle switch that I've put in line between the left mirror and switch gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's precisely what I'll do too. Also investigating a Touratech TPS 15 style 12v fuse box for charging, so thanks for the heads-up on that too. cheers, Nik
Nik Which lights did you buy. I'm looking for something discrete/small. Prepared to buy cheap Chinese on eBay and modify if I need to as don't want to spend a fortune.
I bought these: 2pcs 125W 3000LM CREE U5 Motorcycle Motorbike Headlight LED Fog Spot Light Bulb | eBay I've powered them up on a 12v power supply and they're really bright. Nice quality too - very happy with them for £17 delivered! Need to spend some time this evening looking for a sensible means out mounting them. Nik
Be real keen to see photos of them held in the location that the OEM ones mount, even if just by hand. Think I might get a set, were they posted from China?
They came from within the UK. Arrived within 2 days I seem to remember. Once I've got them fitted I'll post some pics.
I might mount them on the crash bars, otherwise, somewhere under the beak - I think I have some ally plate in the garage, so I might make something up to suit. Nik
If you wanted them near the standard locations then the brackets are not too expensive from the dealers.
