@BigRockMoto if you get a chance to test out Diode Dynamics stage series lights on either one of your bikes or your daily I highly recommend them. I have them on my Bronco and will be adding them to whatever bike I end up picking up in the near future.
@@SasquatchBenwa +1 for Diode Dynamics. I have installed 2 pairs of SS3 (Max Driving lens and Pro Yalow Fog) on my R1300GS and they are really powerful (connected via Denali CANsmart) I nearly purchased a pair of D7 Pro, but after thinking about what I technically really need, the Denali D7-Pro were not the answer. Only 1 pointing direction and no fog light pattern available (the center circuit 3 reflectors combined with the plastic adapter are not fog but wide flood pattern. No cut off, so no possibility to run them at 100% night and day) The D7/D7 pro are really off-road oriented. This is the main point. Even the spot pattern of the D7 pro is on the floody side, which is good for off-road. They have bet on "the highest lumens figure" so they replaced high density XP-L hi with domed XML3. They increased slightly the diameter of the D7's reflectors in order to compensate the reduction of throw compared to Hi intensity (no domed) emitter. They may bring a new D7 pro labeled "Extreme Rally" with some Hi intensity leds instead of the XML3, for a more throwy version (...) Enough speculation, Here is the short review just to get an idea (camera s#cksy > iPhone mini, so the night shot are poor quality) ruclips.net/video/SajbkZyNbLk/видео.html The main advantage to have dedicated pods for each lighting function is the capability to point them in different direction/orientation than "2 in 1" pods. Another advantage of those 2 separate sets of SS3 is the quasi unlimited choice of beam pattern available, by just changing the lenses. I can mix Spot/Driving/Combo/Flood/fogs with each pods on the direction I want. As I spend most of the time on road, the yellow fogs stay at 100% all the time and the driving lens (similar to high beam) are 10% on low beam and 100% on high beam. For off-road trips, I can simply swap the fogs lens with the "flood" or "Flood+driving" lens. So far, the fog and driving pattern are perfect for my usage. I am quite surprise that only few motorcyclists use Diode Dynamics (?) they are cheaper than Denali or the other "usual Bikes affiliated brands", yet they are best sellers for Trucks and 4 wheeled aficionados. PS: The Diode Dynamics SS3 pods are also very lightweight compared to the D7-Pro, basic 20$ China brackets (2 mounting points) are absolutely sufficient and match perfectly the bike. Disclaimer > I am not sponsored by DD, in fact, I never post reviews, except when the product is really good and worth the editing time. (SS3 pod - > 330g without bracket, 409g with)
@@SasquatchBenwa My previous comment has disappeared (?) The Diode Dynamics are excellent and very few bikers are not aware of this brand. People can check my review about them.
Hi, totally agree about Diode Dynamics. They are an excellent alternative to "mainstream motorcycle's light brand". I have tried the D3s and compared all the videos available on this topic and finally purchased 2 pairs of SS3 (Pro and Max) and those pods are fantastic! I went for 2 sets of SS3 (Pro and Max) instead of a pair of D7-Pro or 2 pairs of D3 from simply because they are more flexible. With a choice of 5 different TIR lens patterns and 3 types of emitters, the Diode Dynamics are excellent for on and off road usage. All 4 pods run via Denali's CANsmart which is really practical for auxiliary lights and extra accessories equipment add-on projects. Nota: Denali should use USB-C instead of micro-usb. Also, a mobile App with Bluetooth connection would be "up to date". Diode Dynamics works flawlessly with the CANsmart. Only the harness connectors need to be swapped (DD using Dutch Connectors) Those 2 pairs of DD pods cost approximately the price of a pair of Denali D7-Pro. I went with the DD for those specific functional reasons: - they are providing approximately the same amount of lumens output but provide more "lighting pattern options" than Denali's - By having 4 separate pods rather than "4 in 2", it gives more precise light projections/orientations which is more important for on road usage. - Square casing provides better optimization of DD customized TIR - 2 sets of SS3 Pro/Max outperform 2 sets of D3 - 8 years warranty for DD vs 5 years for Denali. - SS3's Heat sink design is superior. - Diode Dynamics provide a clean 4000k tint option via their Pro series yellow (XPL-Hi CREE) which provide better efficiency when combined with yellow lens. -Pods are lighter and more compact (SS3 pod alone is 335g - 400g with included bracket) -5 different lens/pattern option in 3 tints (Pro yellow lens are lighter than the Osram max pods, which gives a more greenish selective yellow tint compared to the 4000k pro warmer tint) Aesthetic - On each is own preference (functionality first)
1100 dollars plus tax for driving lights, that's insanity! 800 dollars for the pair.(400 each light,) plus 300 dollars for the can bus controller . Plus tax . A rich man's motorcycle accessories!
@@BIBuildyChinese is a bad option, quality is gross and cannot match Denali. But I do agree the price is astronomical and for the price of whole package you could buy used small bike. I have put them on my Africa last year front and rear and they are probably the best accessory I have especially during the day, but pricing is insane…
It's 200 usd per each light. Each D7 Pro spot has 2 independent circuits, aka 2 lights which can be indepentently configured. As you can see in the video, this model has the cheapest cost per lumen, compared to alternatives
With all the respect to you and Denali, but to most ppl out there, we need to remortgage our house to be able to afford these lights! Price is out of this world!
Well don't worry because he's not sponsored. They did give him a link which generates him income, so isn't that kind of a sponsorship? Same with the tablets he showed off. They literally send him a unit to do a video, and then give him a referral link.
@@HypeRapEnjoyer So what? He never tried to hide any of this. He actually said as much at the start of the video and if he gets $50 or so comission per sale via the link then good luck to him. It pays for him being able top buy gear to make this channel work, Why would he go to work day in day out to buy stuff with his own money to make videos and get nothing out of it? He's openly stated this is his full time job now. He reviews products that he either buys himself or is sent. Personally, I give less credibility to a review by someone who is sent the product free simply becasue they then feel a need to be favorable to the brand. But this guy says this upfront when this happens.
@@max___power Upfront about the sponsorship, but it probably still affects his opinions, how can anyone avoid being affected by what pays you so you can continue working for yourself? Anyway he's still my favorite motorcycle channel, I'm just saying it's a tricky area 😊
I pre-ordered these lights back in January and just love them. In the daytime, I run with the amber lens on the middle three lights at 30%. After being seriously smoked, almost killed, while stopped in traffic over two years ago, I can't be seen enough.
I bought a pair of the Denali D3's last year after a ton of research. I could not be happier honestly. Even the D3's with the wiring harness was not "cheap' per say but it was 100% worth it. I've got a few of my buddies wanting them now for their own bikes. I have the selective yellow hybrid lenses on my lights and they are at 100% all the time. Super bright during night but not too bright (maybe 1 in 100 cars flashes me). I ran them with the clear spot lens for a couple weeks and I was getting flashed by every single car. Daytime visibility is a lot better as well with the selective yellow. If you are thinking about buying any denali products do it!! You will not regret it
Denali's officials compared the D3s with the D7 in the field, and explained that for the price of 2 pairs of D3s you get something close to a 1 pair of D7... For approximately the same price. But how to run your "conspicuity yellow lights" at a correct different angle/direction than your spot lights? You can't. 1 pod, 1 direction. The flood plastic lens adaptors that clip on the D7 pro diffuse exactly on the same heigh than the spot. It means, you cannot run them at high intensity all the time because you will blind incoming trafic or drivers in front of you. What is the point to have "2 lights in 1" if you can't run 1 separately at 100% without having to be on high beam on both permanently? I can achieve with separate dedicated pods a better day and night conspicuity, plus full functionality as a fog/rain lights. High beams (driving or spot patterns) can be fully focused on the correct direction, yet, can be set at 10% as extra conspicuity lights for day and even night ride. 4 pods are just a better optimisation of your system than 2 big pots with separate internal circuits. Both options require a similar priced controller. 4 pods is just more flexible. The GS lower crash bars and neat design provide plenty of routing for fog lights at the correct location (as close as possible to the road to avoid glare) Denali D3s vs Diode Dynamic SS3 : - the SS3 simply outperforms the D3 - 4 emitters vs 3 (except the D3 fog which has 4 led) - SS3 runs at similar power but with 1 extra emitter, which means more efficiency. - SS3 are lighter yet have larger heat sink surface. - 2 lens options for D3 vs 5 lens options for the SS3 - 4 choices of led emitters vs 1 for the D3 - Denali is more expensive and has 5 years warranty vs 8 years for DD... After all those considerations, DD is simply a better choice. Those who like warmer rosy tint (less harsh on vision), SS3 pro with yellow lens get the XP-L Hi in 4000K. With the yellow lens, it provides an excellent warm clean yellow beam without greenish hue, and with clear lens, it becomes 4000k with a slightly pinkish hue. Having warmer temperature bin for their yellow lights, DD mange to achieve a higher efficiency simply because they don't have to cut down so much blue-green waves to obtain a 3000k colour. Lighter filter, more light going through, more efficient. Notice how greenish are the XML3 bin from D7pro... So, "high raw theoretical lumens" doesn't tell the full story.
And because the SS3s are only 335g per pod, no need to spend 100$ for a 3 points attachement bracket. For those not using the upper crashbars, a 20$ 2 points attachement bracket from China do perfectly the job (the OEM bike attachement system is a outrageous joke...)
I find the color temperature for Denali and Clearwater to be too blue at 6000k, so it becomes a bit tyring for the eye and the brain. Baja Designs use 5000k color and that's just perfect, since it's the perfect neutral white color and it also helps to reflect a lot less the dust and fog.
Best lights ever cost me less than $100 all in, including a wiring harness, relay, fuse, and a pair of LED lights that I've mounted on the upper crash bars. I've wired them so that the high beam signal triggers the relay to turn on the aux lights. With the aux lights on, it's like I turned night into day. Best mod I've made so far, and so far the LEDs are still working perfectly after more than a year of use. I actually bought an extra pair for $30 on sale, just in case the originals burn out
I installed some $200 Baja super bright yellow lights ( Amazon ) on my Harley RGS and they are freaking amazing. Be seen or be sorry. I never ride at night, but these would be too bright for night use in traffic.
Wow, even on video, those look amazing! I bet in-person they're just crazy great. The wide angle spread will probably reflect the eyes of deer and other critters way off the road at night.
LoneRider sent Denali, Rigid, Clearwater and everybody else back to the drawing board, with its insane Motolights!! Even lst week I was still pubbahing over the D7 Pro, that is, until Lone Rider came up with its MOtoLights. They are doing to the aux light market what they did to the soft luggage. Kudos to trailblazer Lone Rider. The Denali D7's reign was really brief, but bright, you have to give it that .
Get an Osram LED bar at 1500lm with wiring harness for under €100. Off road 4x4 use it, I am sure it is good enough for motorcyclists as well. Only BMW riders would pay 1k for lights. You're not riding a tractor in the rain at night to need that much light or pay that much either. Think about it, you can get Osram LED light bar with wiring kit, Shoei helmet, full Alpinestar, Dainese etc. gear and Kriega backpack for less. You can throw in one of those wireless helmet breaking lights too and still be within budget.
That's true, but where would you fit an LED bar? But yeah this is very expensive. Also it seems like a lot of these reviews get Ian paid with referral links. That's not really "not sponsored".
@HypeRapEnjoyer it's not that hard to do, especially if you want to save yourself a sizeable amount of cash. Having said that if that's too much hassle for some then throwing a bunch of money at the issue will certainly solve it. Keep in mind figuring out how to add the bar will teach you a thing or two and you will get your money back selling your bike. You won't get 2k back after buying Denali that's for sure. It all depends on your pocket and Denali knows who will buy the light regardless of the price. Not me 🤣
@HypeRapEnjoyer you can get universal mounting clamps, adapt from other product or make your own. Someone could even mill for a fraction of the cost. I am not sure if you checked their VX150 bar with all included hardware.
I removed the rubbish lights on my KTM 500 and built my own lighting tower, specifically for the reasons Ian mentioned. Namely, day riding on non urban roads. Except I took my normal cheap option and used some cheap eBay lights for low beam but bought an excellent Stedi lamp for high beam. End result is that in comparison to my friends KTM Rally, my lights on high beam are better then his lights. In daylight my bike is visible for hundreds of metres due to the low beams
I have a pair of D4 white pods and a pair of DM yellow pods on my Yamaha T7. Made a huge difference for the rare time I'm riding at night and more importantly helps me be seen in traffic. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and they are well built.
Best lights in the market! Have D3s on my GSA, been through heavy rain and tropical heat rides, never failed vs other brands that water get could inside the housing
I did a lot of research on lighting last year and have a set of Denali D3s as my mains, a pair of DMs with selective yellow filters, B6 brake light kit, and a SoundBomb Mini, wired through two CANsmart controllers. Outstanding performance and at a price less than half of Clearwater's.
I bought the Clearwaters for my 310 gs. I'd say you get what you pay for with whichever brand you decide. Mine were about $600 ish for smaller lights appropriate for my bikes electrical system. Sounds expensive for a light, but, they shine noticeably more vivid than the average light i see on most other motorcycles (if they are running aux lights at all). I feel like it was money well spent for the added level of safety. I continue to ride as if I am invisible, but like knowing the lights are captivating the attention of cars in front of me. At night, I have absolutely seen deer much further off to the side of the road than I would have been able to see without them.
Nice review Ian. You know you could become a speed shop for pimping out adventure bikes. They have done it with cars. The opposite of occ choppers haha. Not that those aren’t cool but you get my drift.
Hey man, passing by to say that your video tipped the scale, I was dead set on D3's for months. But your video was very timely, because it was in the week i pulled the trigger on the bike swap. Traded my 2018 Super Adventure for the ( for now ) current model. I had some pickle situations during my travels, when the arriving time was greatly under estimated, and riding in European mountains in the wee hours is dangerous, to say the least, almost hit a HORSE standing in the middle of the road, because of poor lighting setup. These fixed headlight units that don't turn with the steering, need to be assisted by accessory lights, with flood patterns. No matter how good or far throwing the OEM lights are ( KTM Ligth is awesome, in a straight line ). Thank you, your video was very informative, and I'm very satisfied with my EXPENSIVE AS F purchase.
Three real people in Ian's comments and the rest are spam bots. He's talking about the Denali motorcycle lights he's not entertaining or hosting a gathering of spam bots. RUclips needs to do something about the spam.
@@BIBuildy Look at our time stamp differences. When I watched his video that was 6 hours before you. Lots of people had a chance to drop comments by then and drown out the bots. Logic, that's what I'm talking about.
Brilliant, thanks, just what I was looking for! I just came back from a long trip on the 1300GS with standard front light. It was terrible in the dark and rain. I think I will go for these, but they are really expensive!
Great video as always Ian. Thankyou for actually taking the time and showing the beam shots. So many people film looking AT the front of the light which is bloody useless. You need good lighting on a motorbike especially when you're an old pr1ck like me. 😂
I appreciate this video since I am also a lighting nerd. However, unlike you, I do like the challenge of wiring. I recently purchased the Denali CanSmart and have installed it on my 24' R1250 RT. I've connected it to Denali's Dual B6 brake light kit, and a pair of their amber DRL visibility pods mounted to the front fender. I already have the upgraded Baja Designs DOT/SAE fog lights which I'll be adding to the front for additional conspicuity as well as perimeter coverage for night-time riding. Despite the fact that the RT is a "larger" bike, it was rather difficult installing the CanSmart and routing the wires cleanly to appear as OEM as possible. The inputs to the CanSmart are pretty short and once you have your sources connected, those weather-sealed connectors are all right next to each other making for a big "chunky" bundle of wires. With the limited space behind and underneath the pillion seat, it was quite the challenge to position and route everything properly. Anyway, it looks OEM like and it functions perfectly, so I'm happy.
Great video! Thank you for the information. Is it possible to just remove the factory additional head lights and replace them with the Denali Pro? Or do you need to have a completely new mount?
Ian, would you be interested in testing more automotive oriented lighting adapted to motorcycle use? I run Diode Dynamics 2" pods on my motorcycle to great effect. Morimoto also seem like they make a great product.
The SS3 Pro from Diode Dynamics are one of the best option for the price. Based on my own perception, I was over influenced by "existing mainstream reviews", having "Denali" and "Clear Water" shown as the "best motorcycle's lighting pods" everywhere, until I started to do my own research. 12V on a bike or 12V on a truck remain 12V... Why not checking other brands, especially those leading 4 wheels market like Baja and DD? Everything related to motorcycle is more expensive than cars and trucks. "Luxurious overcharged stuff" Including auxiliary lights. After comparing all those brands, it was obvious that Diode Dynamics are not even underrated in the motorcycle field, they are surprisingly inexistant! I only found 2 videos of DD mounted on motorcycles (?) That's why I decided to create this account, I took the bet to go against the trend and yes, those pods are great! EzCAN - CANsmart are worth the extra cost, it provide so many options and tuning over your oem vehicle, I simply integrate this amount of money in any vehicle purchase, especially motorcycles
I bought some CO LIGHT motorcycle fog lights off amazon last year for 56 bucks. Work great, unfortunately they are now 89. They also have 2 lights, white and amber, and even include strobe functions. I wired it to a handlebar mounted button to control. I doubt I will go through 12 sets of these to equal the cost of the Denali lights
You wouldn’t believe this but I was hoping that you would review the D7 Pro when I saw it on your bike! I’m running the D4 and DM on my R1200GS and I really wanted to get the D7 Pro and my primary aux light.
Your subscribers see what you upload and the ones also that you delete. The one you uploaded on the 11 Sept 2024 speaking about how paid for trips by companies do not influence your opinions is the one I speak about specifically. The upload really showed the true nature of a RUclips "review": business and it shouldn't have been taken down as you did. If anything, it has reduced the trust in what you produce in the future now. I've enjoyed the content in the past - I hope you continue to upload but know that the ones you show your content too are intelligent, well informed riders that can see through the veil of obligation that you may in some cases be open too. Don't Stop. Just be yourself and don't justify what we all know that is happening. With consideration and appreciation. John.
I highly appreciate the content - aux lights are a topic that no one discusses in detail and is important. I understand d7 pro has flood light and spot light combined, and flood light can be fog light, too. But is the spotlight can be fog lights ? If i am riding on a highway in a foggy day , will these lights help me to have long visibility
If you’re looking for the most powerful lights ever try looking after morimoto that brand is nuts, I had denalis and switched immediately to morimoto, no regret
Hi, I also did consider Morimoto but after checking all comparison reviews with other brands like Baja (that I owned on previous bike) and Diode Dynamics, I went with DD because they are at the same level of performance and cost less. By the way, I am 100% not sponsored by anybody and I have no links or whatsoever to be paid for my comments. I created my channel just to help motorcyclists to check for an alternative to "mainstream motorcycle lighting brands". I was sceptical at the beginning about dropping some DD on my 1300GS but after doing my homework, it appeared that separate pods was the best solution (for my application)
For me personally riding at night where you'd need these blazing is not something I even like to do lol. Get camp setup and have a beer. Very cool though.
Great lights no doubt but more than most riders need. But if the bike costs north of $30k, what's another grand? I use a pair of small 10W LED 30 degree angle lights for great conspicuity in the daytime and they about double the light at night compared to stock. Total cost $80 and can be left on day and night without getting flashed down. They're good quality and have lasted for years on several bikes.
By having built my own pods from scratch in the past, 80$ units may fail earlier in terms of drivers reliability and waterproofness. More of a lottery...
With the set-up you have, you can not add a soundbomb because the d7 pros use 2 channels each, so there is only one channel left available that you used on the rear light!
Hi, you’ve mentioned that one pod has two circuits. Does that means we cannot put another pair of lights? Or even it is possible does this secondary aux lights will work with full specs? (Flashing, strobing, turning signals, etc?). Thanks in advance
To compare light It is important to factor in the human eye’s response to an increase in lumen. It could be as low as 10:1. An extra column could help better show the deminishing return when adding more lumen
I have a question here Ian. Can you control ANY lights with the Hex EzCan module on a Bmw or you have to succumb to the insane prices of the likes of Denali, Clearwater etc? My thing is Id like to try the cheap version first to see if I really need the quality ones… Thanks again Ian for what you do for the community and yes these lights are amazing for Arizona riding on or off with lotsa wildlife😉😂
@@Rosscofat got the Colight LA5s for $120 WITH a harness… Hopefully when they arrive the weather would be cooler so I can install em… 108 tomorrow AND Friday 🫡🇺🇸🌵
I’ve used Clearwaters forever. Just put a set on my new 1300GS. Lots of people like Denali. Any comparison? Are they basically the same type of high quality, effective and expensive lights?
Pls show me a video of the lights in the city.. While leaving the residential locality and while leaving the city. That way I get a much better understanding of the reach of the lights. I dont have access to a mountain to comprehend the width and distance which I need..
Hello Ian, This might not be the right place but I am hoping you will read my comment here. I am really looking for your review on Yamaha Tenere 1200 and Yamaha FJR 1300, I am not really looking to spend alot of money on GS1250 or GS1300, reliability is my main concern, and I believe Yamaha knocks out Triumph tiger 1300, KTM1290. Thanks in advance if you can do review on these bike, really really want to know your view on those bikes.
The Denali lights look great. Wildly expensive (even if they are worth it). How much do you need to spend to be safer riding at night? Can budget accessory lights do what's needed?
I bought a set from China for $15. They are perfect for my purposes, on my BMW F800ST, for riding in the canyons in CA at night for my commute. Plenty of good, aimable led light.
I ordered these Denali D7 Pro lights yesterday en today I saw the lone rider lights ... I hope I still have ordered the best ones?? What do you think about the Motorcycle lights from Lone Rider??
Waaaaay too much money, the benefits DO NOT outweigh the costs. Not for someone who doesn’t ride much at night, my high beams during the day provide enough visibility for my comfort level. Glad you like them tho. Although the BMW does deserve high end kit, so there’s that 😊
I bought a pair of Denali S4 for my KTM790. First set had a cracked reflector in one spot. The replacement was slightly different in light output color compared to the other. The local dealer supplied me with the wrong main harness. Overall not impressed with the quality or the support. I felt that I spent a lot of money and got a low quality product. I would never recommend Denali as an Aux light manufacturer.
lets see.. most of mc riding season we have 12-14 hrs of daylight. why is everybody so obsessed with auxiliary lighting when they can’t get all their riding done in a 12 to 14 hour period?
Where do you live? Where I used to live, all year round was riding season, and riding at night was common if you commute and work long hours, or are doing ADV riding and sometimes your ride doesn't go to plan and you end up riding at night. Also daylight visibility is a real benefit
How much?Sheeet, I will just drink a lot of fermented mushrooms like fat Freddy did when he met a hillbilly up in the woods when he was lost. I think that’s how He got home without a flashlight. did you ever hear of a deer whistle? You can buy two for less than $12
Found your channel. You review a lot of the things I have and use and products I would be interested in. Your videos spend way way to much time with the camera on you and nit the product. This video with the repeated flashing back and forth between tou and the can bus controller web page made me dizzy. If you start focusing more on the product let me know and i'll be back.
You need to be a millionaire to justify such expense for something akin to programmable Christmas decoration lights. I really like such lights, and realize the safety benefits, but not for those crazy, I say abusive, prices. I bet they are made in China, if not the final product, but everything that goes into them, such as LEDs, and electronics chips and components. Those discrete components are dead cheap. Sorry, I must refrain from entertaining such, thousand, or so, of euro, expenditure, for extra lights on my motorbike. No wonder China will take over every market. Middle class hard working people are simply being driven out of the economy.
Crazy, why on earth do you need those lights. These things are way to dangerous. Nice for oncoming driver when they have to look into those damn lights when you forget to turn off again.... These lights can blind you so much that it can lead to accidents. By the way, you don't need those lights at all, if you do need them it seems to me best to consider stopping driving at night. You don't need them during the day, factory lighting is enough, and certainly LED. Ban those damn things with a big fine.
I agree. Every Hoto in my neighborhood has a pick up truck with aftermarket headlights. They completely blind the oncoming driver. They are total jerks.

@@SasquatchBenwa +1 for Diode Dynamics. I have installed 2 pairs of SS3 (Max Driving lens and Pro Yalow Fog) on my R1300GS and they are really powerful (connected via Denali CANsmart)
I nearly purchased a pair of D7 Pro, but after thinking about what I technically really need, the Denali D7-Pro were not the answer. Only 1 pointing direction and no fog light pattern available (the center circuit 3 reflectors combined with the plastic adapter are not fog but wide flood pattern. No cut off, so no possibility to run them at 100% night and day)
The D7/D7 pro are really off-road oriented. This is the main point. Even the spot pattern of the D7 pro is on the floody side, which is good for off-road. They have bet on "the highest lumens figure" so they replaced high density XP-L hi with domed XML3. They increased slightly the diameter of the D7's reflectors in order to compensate the reduction of throw compared to Hi intensity (no domed) emitter.
They may bring a new D7 pro labeled "Extreme Rally" with some Hi intensity leds instead of the XML3, for a more throwy version (...)
Enough speculation, Here is the short review just to get an idea (camera s#cksy > iPhone mini, so the night shot are poor quality)
ruclips.net/video/SajbkZyNbLk/видео.html
The main advantage to have dedicated pods for each lighting function is the capability to point them in different direction/orientation than "2 in 1" pods.
Another advantage of those 2 separate sets of SS3 is the quasi unlimited choice of beam pattern available, by just changing the lenses. I can mix Spot/Driving/Combo/Flood/fogs with each pods on the direction I want. As I spend most of the time on road, the yellow fogs stay at 100% all the time and the driving lens (similar to high beam) are 10% on low beam and 100% on high beam.
For off-road trips, I can simply swap the fogs lens with the "flood" or "Flood+driving" lens. So far, the fog and driving pattern are perfect for my usage.
I am quite surprise that only few motorcyclists use Diode Dynamics (?) they are cheaper than Denali or the other "usual Bikes affiliated brands", yet they are best sellers for Trucks and 4 wheeled aficionados.
PS:
The Diode Dynamics SS3 pods are also very lightweight compared to the D7-Pro, basic 20$ China brackets (2 mounting points) are absolutely sufficient and match perfectly the bike.

@@SasquatchBenwa My previous comment has disappeared (?) The Diode Dynamics are excellent and very few bikers are not aware of this brand. People can check my review about them.
Hi, totally agree about Diode Dynamics. They are an excellent alternative to "mainstream motorcycle's light brand".
I have tried the D3s and compared all the videos available on this topic and finally purchased 2 pairs of SS3 (Pro and Max) and those pods are fantastic!
I went for 2 sets of SS3 (Pro and Max) instead of a pair of D7-Pro or 2 pairs of D3 from simply because they are more flexible.
With a choice of 5 different TIR lens patterns and 3 types of emitters, the Diode Dynamics are excellent for on and off road usage.
All 4 pods run via Denali's CANsmart which is really practical for auxiliary lights and extra accessories equipment add-on projects.
Nota:
Denali should use USB-C instead of micro-usb. Also, a mobile App with Bluetooth connection would be "up to date".
Diode Dynamics works flawlessly with the CANsmart. Only the harness connectors need to be swapped (DD using Dutch Connectors)
Those 2 pairs of DD pods cost approximately the price of a pair of Denali D7-Pro. I went with the DD for those specific functional reasons:
- they are providing approximately the same amount of lumens output but provide more "lighting pattern options" than Denali's
- By having 4 separate pods rather than "4 in 2", it gives more precise light projections/orientations which is more important for on road usage.
- Square casing provides better optimization of DD customized TIR
- 2 sets of SS3 Pro/Max outperform 2 sets of D3
- 8 years warranty for DD vs 5 years for Denali.
- SS3's Heat sink design is superior.
- Diode Dynamics provide a clean 4000k tint option via their Pro series yellow (XPL-Hi CREE) which provide better efficiency when combined with yellow lens.
-Pods are lighter and more compact (SS3 pod alone is 335g - 400g with included bracket)
-5 different lens/pattern option in 3 tints (Pro yellow lens are lighter than the Osram max pods, which gives a more greenish selective yellow tint compared to the 4000k pro warmer tint)
Aesthetic - On each is own preference (functionality first)
1100 dollars plus tax for driving lights, that's insanity! 800 dollars for the pair.(400 each light,) plus 300 dollars for the can bus controller . Plus tax . A rich man's motorcycle accessories!
@@BIBuildyChinese is a bad option, quality is gross and cannot match Denali. But I do agree the price is astronomical and for the price of whole package you could buy used small bike. I have put them on my Africa last year front and rear and they are probably the best accessory I have especially during the day, but pricing is insane…
It's 200 usd per each light. Each D7 Pro spot has 2 independent circuits, aka 2 lights which can be indepentently configured. As you can see in the video, this model has the cheapest cost per lumen, compared to alternatives
@@VittorioViaggi - its $400 for EACH light and the CANBUS modules is another $300.
@@razorwired130 no. Btw the canbus is not mandatory to install
@@razorwired130 there are 4 independent circuits/lights in these 2 pods, that's why the unit price is 200 USD
With all the respect to you and Denali, but to most ppl out there, we need to remortgage our house to be able to afford these lights! Price is out of this world!
Well don't worry because he's not sponsored. They did give him a link which generates him income, so isn't that kind of a sponsorship?
Same with the tablets he showed off. They literally send him a unit to do a video, and then give him a referral link.
The bike is $30k so not so bad considering.
@@HypeRapEnjoyer So what? He never tried to hide any of this. He actually said as much at the start of the video and if he gets $50 or so comission per sale via the link then good luck to him. It pays for him being able top buy gear to make this channel work, Why would he go to work day in day out to buy stuff with his own money to make videos and get nothing out of it? He's openly stated this is his full time job now. He reviews products that he either buys himself or is sent. Personally, I give less credibility to a review by someone who is sent the product free simply becasue they then feel a need to be favorable to the brand. But this guy says this upfront when this happens.
@@max___power Upfront about the sponsorship, but it probably still affects his opinions, how can anyone avoid being affected by what pays you so you can continue working for yourself?
Anyway he's still my favorite motorcycle channel, I'm just saying it's a tricky area 😊
@@HypeRapEnjoyer I tried to post a comment regarding motorcycle lighting but it doesn't appear? Is it the channel owner or RUclips issue?
I pre-ordered these lights back in January and just love them. In the daytime, I run with the amber lens on the middle three lights at 30%. After being seriously smoked, almost killed, while stopped in traffic over two years ago, I can't be seen enough.
Sorry about your accident..... gotta have very bright YELLOW for daytime, onroad use.
I bought a pair of the Denali D3's last year after a ton of research. I could not be happier honestly. Even the D3's with the wiring harness was not "cheap' per say but it was 100% worth it. I've got a few of my buddies wanting them now for their own bikes. I have the selective yellow hybrid lenses on my lights and they are at 100% all the time. Super bright during night but not too bright (maybe 1 in 100 cars flashes me). I ran them with the clear spot lens for a couple weeks and I was getting flashed by every single car. Daytime visibility is a lot better as well with the selective yellow. If you are thinking about buying any denali products do it!! You will not regret it
Denali's officials compared the D3s with the D7 in the field, and explained that for the price of 2 pairs of D3s you get something close to a 1 pair of D7... For approximately the same price. But how to run your "conspicuity yellow lights" at a correct different angle/direction than your spot lights? You can't. 1 pod, 1 direction.
The flood plastic lens adaptors that clip on the D7 pro diffuse exactly on the same heigh than the spot. It means, you cannot run them at high intensity all the time because you will blind incoming trafic or drivers in front of you.
What is the point to have "2 lights in 1" if you can't run 1 separately at 100% without having to be on high beam on both permanently?
I can achieve with separate dedicated pods a better day and night conspicuity, plus full functionality as a fog/rain lights. High beams (driving or spot patterns) can be fully focused on the correct direction, yet, can be set at 10% as extra conspicuity lights for day and even night ride.
4 pods are just a better optimisation of your system than 2 big pots with separate internal circuits. Both options require a similar priced controller. 4 pods is just more flexible. The GS lower crash bars and neat design provide plenty of routing for fog lights at the correct location (as close as possible to the road to avoid glare)
Denali D3s vs Diode Dynamic SS3 :
- the SS3 simply outperforms the D3
- 4 emitters vs 3 (except the D3 fog which has 4 led)
- SS3 runs at similar power but with 1 extra emitter, which means more efficiency.
- SS3 are lighter yet have larger heat sink surface.
- 2 lens options for D3 vs 5 lens options for the SS3
- 4 choices of led emitters vs 1 for the D3
- Denali is more expensive and has 5 years warranty vs 8 years for DD...
After all those considerations, DD is simply a better choice.
Those who like warmer rosy tint (less harsh on vision), SS3 pro with yellow lens get the XP-L Hi in 4000K. With the yellow lens, it provides an excellent warm clean yellow beam without greenish hue, and with clear lens, it becomes 4000k with a slightly pinkish hue.
Having warmer temperature bin for their yellow lights, DD mange to achieve a higher efficiency simply because they don't have to cut down so much blue-green waves to obtain a 3000k colour. Lighter filter, more light going through, more efficient.
Notice how greenish are the XML3 bin from D7pro... So, "high raw theoretical lumens" doesn't tell the full story.
And because the SS3s are only 335g per pod, no need to spend 100$ for a 3 points attachement bracket. For those not using the upper crashbars, a 20$ 2 points attachement bracket from China do perfectly the job (the OEM bike attachement system is a outrageous joke...)
I some denali on my gsa. The D3 version. Absolutely incredible lights. Worth every single penny.
All road and off-road motorcycles should have such brightness 🌞🇸🇪
Thanks for that. Great video Ian those lights are incredible. I live in the country myself and that would help so much.
I find the color temperature for Denali and Clearwater to be too blue at 6000k, so it becomes a bit tyring for the eye and the brain.
Baja Designs use 5000k color and that's just perfect, since it's the perfect neutral white color and it also helps to reflect a lot less the dust and fog.
Best lights ever cost me less than $100 all in, including a wiring harness, relay, fuse, and a pair of LED lights that I've mounted on the upper crash bars. I've wired them so that the high beam signal triggers the relay to turn on the aux lights. With the aux lights on, it's like I turned night into day. Best mod I've made so far, and so far the LEDs are still working perfectly after more than a year of use. I actually bought an extra pair for $30 on sale, just in case the originals burn out
I installed some $200 Baja super bright yellow lights ( Amazon ) on my Harley RGS and they are freaking amazing. Be seen or be sorry. I never ride at night, but these would be too bright for night use in traffic.
I've been researching the D7 Pros for a while now, and these are the most impressive lights I've seen! I'll be putting them on my bike when I get it.
Wow, even on video, those look amazing! I bet in-person they're just crazy great. The wide angle spread will probably reflect the eyes of deer and other critters way off the road at night.
LoneRider sent Denali, Rigid, Clearwater and everybody else back to the drawing board, with its insane Motolights!!
Even lst week I was still pubbahing over the D7 Pro, that is, until Lone Rider came up with its MOtoLights. They are doing to the aux light market what they did to the soft luggage. Kudos to trailblazer Lone Rider. The Denali D7's reign was really brief, but bright, you have to give it that .
Get an Osram LED bar at 1500lm with wiring harness for under €100. Off road 4x4 use it, I am sure it is good enough for motorcyclists as well.
Only BMW riders would pay 1k for lights. You're not riding a tractor in the rain at night to need that much light or pay that much either.
Think about it, you can get Osram LED light bar with wiring kit, Shoei helmet, full Alpinestar, Dainese etc. gear and Kriega backpack for less. You can throw in one of those wireless helmet breaking lights too and still be within budget.
That's true, but where would you fit an LED bar?
But yeah this is very expensive. Also it seems like a lot of these reviews get Ian paid with referral links. That's not really "not sponsored".
@HypeRapEnjoyer it's not that hard to do, especially if you want to save yourself a sizeable amount of cash.
Having said that if that's too much hassle for some then throwing a bunch of money at the issue will certainly solve it. Keep in mind figuring out how to add the bar will teach you a thing or two and you will get your money back selling your bike. You won't get 2k back after buying Denali that's for sure.
It all depends on your pocket and Denali knows who will buy the light regardless of the price. Not me 🤣
@@Edsdrafts It's not a hassle, just that I don't see any perfect spots for a bar 😁With spotlights they can be mounted on crashbars at least.
@HypeRapEnjoyer you can get universal mounting clamps, adapt from other product or make your own. Someone could even mill for a fraction of the cost.
I am not sure if you checked their VX150 bar with all included hardware.
I removed the rubbish lights on my KTM 500 and built my own lighting tower, specifically for the reasons Ian mentioned. Namely, day riding on non urban roads. Except I took my normal cheap option and used some cheap eBay lights for low beam but bought an excellent Stedi lamp for high beam. End result is that in comparison to my friends KTM Rally, my lights on high beam are better then his lights. In daylight my bike is visible for hundreds of metres due to the low beams
I have a pair of D4 white pods and a pair of DM yellow pods on my Yamaha T7. Made a huge difference for the rare time I'm riding at night and more importantly helps me be seen in traffic. Not cheap but you get what you pay for and they are well built.
Best lights in the market! Have D3s on my GSA, been through heavy rain and tropical heat rides, never failed vs other brands that water get could inside the housing
I did a lot of research on lighting last year and have a set of Denali D3s as my mains, a pair of DMs with selective yellow filters, B6 brake light kit, and a SoundBomb Mini, wired through two CANsmart controllers. Outstanding performance and at a price less than half of Clearwater's.
I bought the Clearwaters for my 310 gs. I'd say you get what you pay for with whichever brand you decide. Mine were about $600 ish for smaller lights appropriate for my bikes electrical system. Sounds expensive for a light, but, they shine noticeably more vivid than the average light i see on most other motorcycles (if they are running aux lights at all). I feel like it was money well spent for the added level of safety. I continue to ride as if I am invisible, but like knowing the lights are captivating the attention of cars in front of me. At night, I have absolutely seen deer much further off to the side of the road than I would have been able to see without them.
Nice review Ian. You know you could become a speed shop for pimping out adventure bikes. They have done it with cars. The opposite of occ choppers haha. Not that those aren’t cool but you get my drift.
Hey man, passing by to say that your video tipped the scale, I was dead set on D3's for months.
But your video was very timely, because it was in the week i pulled the trigger on the bike swap.
Traded my 2018 Super Adventure for the ( for now ) current model.
I had some pickle situations during my travels, when the arriving time was greatly under estimated, and riding in European mountains in the wee hours is dangerous, to say the least, almost hit a HORSE standing in the middle of the road, because of poor lighting setup.
These fixed headlight units that don't turn with the steering, need to be assisted by accessory lights, with flood patterns.
No matter how good or far throwing the OEM lights are ( KTM Ligth is awesome, in a straight line ).
Thank you, your video was very informative, and I'm very satisfied with my EXPENSIVE AS F purchase.
Three real people in Ian's comments and the rest are spam bots. He's talking about the Denali motorcycle lights he's not entertaining or hosting a gathering of spam bots. RUclips needs to do something about the spam.
Maybe Elon can buy RUclips and "fix all the problems with spam bots" like he did with TwitterX.
@@BIBuildy Look at our time stamp differences. When I watched his video that was 6 hours before you. Lots of people had a chance to drop comments by then and drown out the bots. Logic, that's what I'm talking about.
@@Michael-Masi-911 He'd have to buy Google since they own YT.
@@terrarecon I am sure for another $44 Billion, or $88 Billion, or whatever price... He could buy RUclips from Google.
I got the D7Pros on my 1300GSA. I like them a lot, makes me more visible
Brilliant, thanks, just what I was looking for! I just came back from a long trip on the 1300GS with standard front light. It was terrible in the dark and rain. I think I will go for these, but they are really expensive!
I have their SoundBomb Original Dual-Tone Air Horn sounds so good.
Great video as always Ian. Thankyou for actually taking the time and showing the beam shots. So many people film looking AT the front of the light which is bloody useless. You need good lighting on a motorbike especially when you're an old pr1ck like me. 😂
I appreciate this video since I am also a lighting nerd. However, unlike you, I do like the challenge of wiring. I recently purchased the Denali CanSmart and have installed it on my 24' R1250 RT. I've connected it to Denali's Dual B6 brake light kit, and a pair of their amber DRL visibility pods mounted to the front fender. I already have the upgraded Baja Designs DOT/SAE fog lights which I'll be adding to the front for additional conspicuity as well as perimeter coverage for night-time riding. Despite the fact that the RT is a "larger" bike, it was rather difficult installing the CanSmart and routing the wires cleanly to appear as OEM as possible. The inputs to the CanSmart are pretty short and once you have your sources connected, those weather-sealed connectors are all right next to each other making for a big "chunky" bundle of wires. With the limited space behind and underneath the pillion seat, it was quite the challenge to position and route everything properly. Anyway, it looks OEM like and it functions perfectly, so I'm happy.
I have stock foglights and i can tell you it’s quite bright , much brighter then this thumbnail shows… 🤷♂️
Great video! Thank you for the information. Is it possible to just remove the factory additional head lights and replace them with the Denali Pro? Or do you need to have a completely new mount?
Ian, would you be interested in testing more automotive oriented lighting adapted to motorcycle use? I run Diode Dynamics 2" pods on my motorcycle to great effect. Morimoto also seem like they make a great product.
The SS3 Pro from Diode Dynamics are one of the best option for the price.
Based on my own perception, I was over influenced by "existing mainstream reviews", having "Denali" and "Clear Water" shown as the "best motorcycle's lighting pods" everywhere, until I started to do my own research.
12V on a bike or 12V on a truck remain 12V... Why not checking other brands, especially those leading 4 wheels market like Baja and DD? Everything related to motorcycle is more expensive than cars and trucks. "Luxurious overcharged stuff" Including auxiliary lights. After comparing all those brands, it was obvious that Diode Dynamics are not even underrated in the motorcycle field, they are surprisingly inexistant! I only found 2 videos of DD mounted on motorcycles (?) That's why I decided to create this account, I took the bet to go against the trend and yes, those pods are great!
EzCAN - CANsmart are worth the extra cost, it provide so many options and tuning over your oem vehicle, I simply integrate this amount of money in any vehicle purchase, especially motorcycles
I bought some CO LIGHT motorcycle fog lights off amazon last year for 56 bucks. Work great, unfortunately they are now 89. They also have 2 lights, white and amber, and even include strobe functions. I wired it to a handlebar mounted button to control. I doubt I will go through 12 sets of these to equal the cost of the Denali lights
You wouldn’t believe this but I was hoping that you would review the D7 Pro when I saw it on your bike! I’m running the D4 and DM on my R1200GS and I really wanted to get the D7 Pro and my primary aux light.
Your subscribers see what you upload and the ones also that you delete. The one you uploaded on the 11 Sept 2024 speaking about how paid for trips by companies do not influence your opinions is the one I speak about specifically. The upload really showed the true nature of a RUclips "review": business and it shouldn't have been taken down as you did. If anything, it has reduced the trust in what you produce in the future now. I've enjoyed the content in the past - I hope you continue to upload but know that the ones you show your content too are intelligent, well informed riders that can see through the veil of obligation that you may in some cases be open too. Don't Stop. Just be yourself and don't justify what we all know that is happening. With consideration and appreciation. John.
it's back up this morning.
Digging these D7 Pros but.... those Lone Rider Motolights are giving me pause.
Not only are animals a threat to your survival, you are to theirs also.
I highly appreciate the content - aux lights are a topic that no one discusses in detail and is important. I understand d7 pro has flood light and spot light combined, and flood light can be fog light, too. But is the spotlight can be fog lights ? If i am riding on a highway in a foggy day , will these lights help me to have long visibility
Great video,m; I may have missed it but are these lights road legal?
If you’re looking for the most powerful lights ever try looking after morimoto that brand is nuts, I had denalis and switched immediately to morimoto, no regret
Hi, I also did consider Morimoto but after checking all comparison reviews with other brands like Baja (that I owned on previous bike) and Diode Dynamics, I went with DD because they are at the same level of performance and cost less.
By the way, I am 100% not sponsored by anybody and I have no links or whatsoever to be paid for my comments.
I created my channel just to help motorcyclists to check for an alternative to "mainstream motorcycle lighting brands".
I was sceptical at the beginning about dropping some DD on my 1300GS but after doing my homework, it appeared that separate pods was the best solution (for my application)
For me personally riding at night where you'd need these blazing is not something I even like to do lol. Get camp setup and have a beer. Very cool though.
Great lights no doubt but more than most riders need. But if the bike costs north of $30k, what's another grand? I use a pair of small 10W LED 30 degree angle lights for great conspicuity in the daytime and they about double the light at night compared to stock. Total cost $80 and can be left on day and night without getting flashed down. They're good quality and have lasted for years on several bikes.
By having built my own pods from scratch in the past, 80$ units may fail earlier in terms of drivers reliability and waterproofness. More of a lottery...
With the set-up you have, you can not add a soundbomb because the d7 pros use 2 channels each, so there is only one channel left available that you used on the rear light!
You can daisy chain CanSmart to have more channels or use a Y connector on the D7
Hi, you’ve mentioned that one pod has two circuits. Does that means we cannot put another pair of lights? Or even it is possible does this secondary aux lights will work with full specs? (Flashing, strobing, turning signals, etc?). Thanks in advance
To compare light It is important to factor in the human eye’s response to an increase in lumen. It could be as low as 10:1. An extra column could help better show the deminishing return when adding more lumen
I have a question here Ian. Can you control ANY lights with the Hex EzCan module on a Bmw or you have to succumb to the insane prices of the likes of Denali, Clearwater etc? My thing is Id like to try the cheap version first to see if I really need the quality ones… Thanks again Ian for what you do for the community and yes these lights are amazing for Arizona riding on or off with lotsa wildlife😉😂
You can wire your own lights 2 or 3 wire it comes with blank plugs
@@Rosscofat got the Colight LA5s for $120 WITH a harness… Hopefully when they arrive the weather would be cooler so I can install em… 108 tomorrow AND Friday 🫡🇺🇸🌵
can u pls compare these to the baja designs xl 80 /xl-r 80
I’ve used Clearwaters forever. Just put a set on my new 1300GS.
Lots of people like Denali. Any comparison? Are they basically the same type of high quality, effective and expensive lights?
Of course they work well for that price, but do they work 100 times better than the 10 dollars ones that i get on ebay?
Undoubtedly, an amazing stuff !! Do you know what's the longevity of these ? - in hours ( f. ex ) - obviously, if they are in use..
Pls show me a video of the lights in the city..
While leaving the residential locality and while leaving the city.
That way I get a much better understanding of the reach of the lights.
I dont have access to a mountain to comprehend the width and distance which I need..
Hello Ian, This might not be the right place but I am hoping you will read my comment here. I am really looking for your review on Yamaha Tenere 1200 and Yamaha FJR 1300, I am not really looking to spend alot of money on GS1250 or GS1300, reliability is my main concern, and I believe Yamaha knocks out Triumph tiger 1300, KTM1290. Thanks in advance if you can do review on these bike, really really want to know your view on those bikes.
Their nice but not at that price!
Agreed, nice product but way to expensive.
Yeaaaa I went ahead and got some cheaper stuff off Ebay and they're fine.
@@Ntmoffi I got Aussie made Stedi lights on mine, perhaps not as bright as the Denali but a fraction of the price.
"Way too expensive" is an expression I would affiliate to women's branded handbags (follow by, overpriced ugly pieces of useless rubb...)
P.S. with the introductory price of $599 and 23200 lumen for the pair, the cost per lumen comes to $0.026. Wow!
Better than Gold Runway.
Great setup. But those lights just look way too big. Four D3s might be the ticket
The Denali lights look great. Wildly expensive (even if they are worth it). How much do you need to spend to be safer riding at night? Can budget accessory lights do what's needed?
I bought a set from China for $15. They are perfect for my purposes, on my BMW F800ST, for riding in the canyons in CA at night for my commute. Plenty of good, aimable led light.
What is your voice recording setup in your helmet?
For $800usd they’d better be very good lights.
VERY!!
I ordered these Denali D7 Pro lights yesterday en today I saw the lone rider lights ... I hope I still have ordered the best ones??
What do you think about the Motorcycle lights from Lone Rider??
i have them sitting here, going to test them this week. both seem good.
@ I'm very curious what you think about it 👍
Waaaaay too much money, the benefits DO NOT outweigh the costs. Not for someone who doesn’t ride much at night, my high beams during the day provide enough visibility for my comfort level. Glad you like them tho. Although the BMW does deserve high end kit, so there’s that 😊
Did you break your GS shift level yet? I mean a plastic shift level on an offroad bike that costs 25k+ is madness.
I rode GS on an Edelweiss Pyrenees ACT tour and we broke shifters. When my GS arrived I get the folding SW Motek shifter.
I bought a pair of Denali S4 for my KTM790. First set had a cracked reflector in one spot. The replacement was slightly different in light output color compared to the other. The local dealer supplied me with the wrong main harness. Overall not impressed with the quality or the support. I felt that I spent a lot of money and got a low quality product. I would never recommend Denali as an Aux light manufacturer.
Try Loan Rider moto lights
lets see.. most of mc riding season we have 12-14 hrs of daylight. why is everybody so obsessed with auxiliary lighting when they can’t get all their riding done in a 12 to 14 hour period?
Where do you live? Where I used to live, all year round was riding season, and riding at night was common if you commute and work long hours, or are doing ADV riding and sometimes your ride doesn't go to plan and you end up riding at night. Also daylight visibility is a real benefit
How about alternator load?
Power Draw: 98 Watts / 8 Amps
👌👌👌👍
one can buy a third hand motorcycle for that money
And don't forget they are made China
All Denali lights are manufactured in Korea.
Wow they are pricey
You gonna blind someone for a minute if you ever shine highs on oncoming traffic.
@@atticushexcel9567in the day time too, it’s like 12k lumen per light lol, way more than the high beam
How much?Sheeet, I will just drink a lot of fermented mushrooms like fat Freddy did when he met a hillbilly up in the woods when he was lost. I think that’s how He got home without a flashlight. did you ever hear of a deer whistle? You can buy two for less than $12

Found your channel. You review a lot of the things I have and use and products I would be interested in. Your videos spend way way to much time with the camera on you and nit the product. This video with the repeated flashing back and forth between tou and the can bus controller web page made me dizzy. If you start focusing more on the product let me know and i'll be back.
You need to be a millionaire to justify such expense for something akin to programmable Christmas decoration lights. I really like such lights, and realize the safety benefits, but not for those crazy, I say abusive, prices. I bet they are made in China, if not the final product, but everything that goes into them, such as LEDs, and electronics chips and components. Those discrete components are dead cheap. Sorry, I must refrain from entertaining such, thousand, or so, of euro, expenditure, for extra lights on my motorbike. No wonder China will take over every market. Middle class hard working people are simply being driven out of the economy.
I'm sure he's sponsored by all brands he's pushing, ohhhhh yeah not sponsored,, just get free stuff/ commissions... what's the difference 🤣
Crazy, why on earth do you need those lights. These things are way to dangerous. Nice for oncoming driver when they have to look into those damn lights when you forget to turn off again.... These lights can blind you so much that it can lead to accidents. By the way, you don't need those lights at all, if you do need them it seems to me best to consider stopping driving at night. You don't need them during the day, factory lighting is enough, and certainly LED. Ban those damn things with a big fine.
Glad you’re not in charge of the world
I agree. Every Hoto in my neighborhood has a pick up truck with aftermarket headlights. They completely blind the oncoming driver. They are total jerks.
