1400 lumen 7 LED light that are full power 22w, runs for 6 hours

Battery is pretty big though

the cost? how about $1200

$995 for the betty 6 which comes with a smaller battery and runs for 3 hours at 22w.

Liquid55 · 11-27-2007, 03:36 PM

Thats an awsome light, but i couldn't spend more then i payed for my whole bike

foofighter · 11-27-2007, 03:38 PM

holy crap! that's better than automotive HID's

tkblazer · 11-27-2007, 03:51 PM

i would hate to have someone with that light look in my direction on a ride... would probably be like staring at the sun

BrewMaster · 11-27-2007, 03:57 PM

Oooo....nice. I am going to be building a ~500 lumen, 4 LED, 8 watt system this week if my freakin' parts ever arrive. That Lupine sets the bar nice and high. If I get good at building MTB lights that would be a fun target.

CalEpic · 11-27-2007, 04:07 PM

Without researching the conversion from watts, lumens, candlepower, etc. It sounds like this would make a great moto light where one can tap into the bikes electrical system. 8" HID's are about the same price without a battery.

I'm not an EE, but I don't see much in the way of cooling heat sinks/fins as compared to current LED lights that are much lesser wattage (i.e. TriNewt, Stella, 600L).

TriNewt is 486 Lumens. Pretty close. Though I assume you are doing yours to save $$?

coldbrews · 11-27-2007, 05:44 PM

They also make a 800 lumen light, the Wilma.It costs less.

CalEpic · 11-27-2007, 06:15 PM

Save a brother some google time please. What is the Lumen rating on a Night Rider HID?

coldbrews · 11-27-2007, 06:40 PM

I dont think Niterider lists the lumen rating for their HID's. Ive tried finding that info for mine with no luck.
Maybe put in a call.

TURNERob · 11-27-2007, 07:07 PM

L&M ARC is 675 lumens. Just buy two HID lights (one helmet, one handlebar) and save yourself some money.

coldbrews · 11-27-2007, 07:12 PM

You save money up front with hid's but they end up costing more down the line replacing lamps at $100 a pop. Led's are the way to go.

PacMan · 11-27-2007, 07:13 PM

I believe the HID's run around 350-400, but I could be wrong.

Mudman · 11-27-2007, 07:25 PM

Im not too keen on straping a Scuba tank to my bike for a little extra light.

haha

That and for the fun of building stuff.

When all is said and done, this light will probably cost me all of $75, if that. At $400 for the TriNewt, I have to at least try.

spookydave · 11-27-2007, 09:13 PM

bike stuff is so over priced if you ask me.

Heck, this unit for an off road car cost ~500.00.

I agree... having been through three HID bulbs, and just blew another one tonight, I could have had a new light. Well, actually, I have a Trinewt on a UPS truck headed in my direction right now. My HID..... R.I.P.
