Title: LED H4 hi/lo bulbs
Post by: saaz on March 30, 2015, 03:45:26 PM
I am trying out these http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Super-bright-3200lm-h4-led-headlight-hi-lo-beam-car-led-h4-Headlamp-Bulb-35w-12V/32221003713.html (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Super-bright-3200lm-h4-led-headlight-hi-lo-beam-car-led-h4-Headlamp-Bulb-35w-12V/32221003713.html) after some positive feedback on them by Trophy owners in the US.

Compared to other variations, they are as easy to install as normal H4 bulbs, due to the fan assembly screwing on after fitting the bulb. The rubber boots can also be used

I have some fitted to the Trophy, and put some in Lionel's FJR1300 the other day. In both cases the lights are much brighter than H4s (I was running plus 90 H4s), beam pattern seems to be the same as the H4s (so low beam has a good cutoff), lo and hi LEDs stay on when on hi beam. The LEDs are CREE ones, so not a no name knock off.  Beam colour is the same as the Erica and Jaycar driving lights, so around the 5K to 6K mark, and no more little yellow lights when the driving lights can't be used.  If you can fit H4 bulbs, you can easily fit these.

On road performance yet to be properly tested, and hopefully life will be way more than high powered H4s.

Stay tuned.

Had a yarn with Skidooo about CREE LED today with the view to replace H4 Hi/Lo with H7 Low only and an adaptor bezel  :think1

I had tried the +90 bulbs, and they do put out more light. Downside for me was they only lasted about 10,000kms if that, whereas the OEM bulbs lasted 55,000kms. It may have been because they were Repco brand, as the narva +50s I have in the ST1100 have lasted better.

Those Streaks have been removed for the time being..wonder if they will reappear....

This doesn't seem like a straight 'plug in' job to me Saaz. I have had a head light go out, first one in the life of the bike. Does the H4 plug straight into the standard 1300 head light or are modifications required?  How much 'tupperware' needs to be removed to replace a bulb?

For the ST1300 you would need to do the same as putting in a standard H4 bulb, no harder. Here is a guide  http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=3537.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=3537.0)   At a guess it was your left bulb that went first? Seems the most common.

The normal H4s are the P43t base, the Honda uses the PX43t 65-degree one, where the tabs are more evenly spaced, so you would have to modify the LED base the same as a normal H4 to get it to fit. The wiring of the LED plugs straight into the connector to the back of the headlight bulb.

Post by: saaz on March 30, 2015, 08:00:47 PM
I have not found one that comes with a PX43t base that Honda uses. So the normal modification that you have to perform on normal H4s would need to be done (remove two tabs and put in and use the adaptor ring)

I just remove one tab- the bottom one.  I bought the Hungarian adapter rings and found them too thick to get the spring clip in, so just go bare on the flange.  Seems to work.  Others have done it, so I'm not a pioneer in that.

I used to do that as well. The bulb seems to locate in the headlight more on the front part than the part with the tabs. When I modified the ST1100 headlight to take normal H4s I found that the bulb located itself regardless of the tabs, they just stopped the bulb rotating.

I have the same adapter rings and bend the lower two tabs to a 90 degree angle. The globe sit flat on the ring and the clip goes in with with out a drama.....The adapter ring goes in front of the globe when it's in the housing

I currently have Nava +90s and have bent the tabs, but these look like the tabs are cast aluminum. Do the Heat Sinks screw on? And do they have a ballast?

H4 question already answered above  :like


I just trim bottom 2 tags and don't use rings......if trimming use snips and don't be tempted to reach for your Dremel......will kill the globe  :Stirpot


As far as plastic to remove NONE  :like Centre stand, reach in from underneath and twist bars to create the most room......plug off, rubber off, bulb holder clip released. Bulb out and new on in  :like

Seriously a 5 minute exercise  ;-*

If you hold your mouth right to get the plug off, get your hammy fist in to the cavity with the new bulb and then get the spring clip to engage.  I actually made a metal rod with a nick in the end to be able to see what I was doing and apply enough force without puncturing a finger-tip.

But yeah, a 5 minute job.     :whistle

Post by: saaz on March 31, 2015, 11:51:50 AM
The tabs are cast, so would have to be dremelled off.  The bulb part is put in exactly the same as a H4 and just as easy. The rubber boot is then put back on. The heatsink with fan then screws on. There is a very small igniter/ballast (about the size of a lithium battery in a phone) that is easily located somewhere - I put some velcro on it and stuck it out of the way.

I have had them in 4000kms or so sofar.  Nearly as long as the last set of +50 H4 bulbs which then failed on low beam.  I have had them a while, just did not fit them.

These do look promising. 3800 lm @ 5500k for $65. Freight approx $32 for a pair. So a total of around $162 delivered.

Keeping this in mind for when the next bulb blows. (Still have a spare Philips)

I would not use the ones in the first link. I have some of them, and the beam pattern is rubbish, the beam pattern is all over the place.  Also very hard to fit as the clip has to try and fit over the fan. The ones where the LEDs mimic the position of the H4 filiments are better.

The offset is preferable because the parabola reflector of the light fitting is designed to produce a projected beam by the light source being in the focus point.

The ones saaz is using has the Low beam LED is on top and further forward in a slightly out of focus point of the parabola reflector, and the High beam LED on the bottom and further back and in the focal point of the parabola.

Therefore the Low beam reflects off the top of the reflector. This directs the light downwards and gives a very well delineated low beam and spreads the beam over a wider area. (You might have noticed Halogen H4s have a shield over one filament.  This is the low beam one)

Unlike normal H4 Halogens,  the LEDs saaz uses, when High beam is turned on, both LEDs are on at the same time. So he gets the benefit of a focused high beam and the spread low beam.

I came close to ordering a set last night, but stopped because I didn't have my credit card handy.

My only concern is the fans.  I'm concerned the bearings will wear out like PC fans do. But saaz has done some phenomenal distance using these LEDs so the boosts confidence.

Some also have the driver integrated in the mount.

No problem. Will hold until end of day to see if anyone else wants. Spoke to Saaz last night and for a few reasons he dais these are the better ones to go for. Works out about $100 a pair so a bit more expensive than halogen but much better light from what I saw on Saaz's bike.

I think you read too many Middle Eastern novels.    :grin

50,000 kays from a headlight is impressive.  I think it's always the low beam that goes because obviously it's the one that's on most of the time.

I cut the two unusable tabs off very easily with side cutters. No need to file. The flange holds the lamps flat.

I had to put a slit into the rubber boot to poke the lamp cable out so I could get the heat sink on.

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/22/fdb8622b3c044d280043aee71d3928cf.jpg)

And a bit out of the boot so the sale would fit around the base of the lamp.

Yes, low beam stays on, so you get twice the lumens. :grin

Post by: atoyot on August 25, 2015, 09:29:09 PM
They look to be the same as the LED's I have. I ran the wire to the base under the rubber seal, rather than cutting a slit in it, but I just noticed the Cyclops bulbs in the link that LindsayGT posted on the first page seem to have all the wiring going in to the fan unit, so there would be no need to have to fiddle around with the rubber seal and getting a wire through the hole in it or underneath it.

The cyclops link also has an option to tick if an ST1300, so I assume that means that it is a PX43T base as SAAZ mentioned earlier as well. So if that's the case, no need to trim any tabs, not that doing that is difficult.

I guess that you'd just have to weigh up the advantages of not having to slit the rubber seal, as opposed to maybe the extra cost of the Cyclops one, but after fitting mine and fiddling around with the regulator thingy and then the rubber seals, the Cyclops ones might be easier to fit. At least the video they have of the units being dunked in a glass of water allay my fears of the fan unit being a potential trouble point.

I, like SAAZ, seem to have a very smooth beam, and whilst I haven't been on an extended run with them, I'm very happy with the light output and the fact that there are no "artifacts" in the beam that worry me. There is a very straight line at the cutoff point on the low beam so against oncoming traffic, you can see where your beam is in relation to their head height. Makes the headlight adjuster very convenient.

Anyone tried the Cyclops ones??

So today my T10 (W5W) LED lamps arrived.

After taking of the inner cowls, a lot of fidgeting wiggling grunting and :cuss ing, got the parking/clearance lamps replaced.

Off

They are long and almost touch the front lens.

On with flash on

Front view no flash.
(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/27/ee078f1bbf1d19a558ad6cb5924f23b1.jpg)

I think Pan looks a lot better with all the lights on.

With a cluster of LEDs on the light like that they should be brilliant.
I'd have to agree, the shape of the four light group look much better with them all on, especially when they're all the same colour.

The running LED's are similar to mine, and I think that I'm at the limit to the length for fit, but also to the point where they almost want to fall out. This is what I got:

https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/194-led-bulb-w-focusing-lens-10-smd-led-tower-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/1701/4011/ (https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/194-led-bulb-w-focusing-lens-10-smd-led-tower-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/1701/4011/)

and whilst they look good, I wouldn't recommend them until I've got a few more K's on them and they haven't fallen out!

The light colour does look right though with the H4 replacements and the T10's you've got.

The ones I had before this didn't last that long, and I suspect that these might not be long lasting as well, so the only other ones I was looking at is these:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/10pcs-lot-T10-194-168-W5W-6-LED-COB-Chip-Car-Door-Light-Clearance-Lights-Wholesale/430729_2030750719.html (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/10pcs-lot-T10-194-168-W5W-6-LED-COB-Chip-Car-Door-Light-Clearance-Lights-Wholesale/430729_2030750719.html)

Cheap for 10, so I've just ordered 10 to try if/when the ones I have fail. That's really just negative psychology on myself, as now I've ordered these, the ones I have now won't fail.....

The ones I had were 6000k and 3200 lumens.

The X7 PRO LED are 6500k and 4000 lumens. 

The Phillips X-treme Ultinon LED are 6200k and 1000/1250 lumens +/- 15%. Seems a bit dull by comparison.

The cut off pattern will largely depend the reflector in the headlight and any lenses.

As the ST1300 has clear polycarbonate lenses it is all in the reflector.

Curious as to what the Philips price is.

The extra lumens of the X7 PRO LEDs come at the cost of extra heat and bigger heat sinks.

Okay - on advice from this thread, Gadget and various other OzSTOC legends, I now too am in the LED only group.


Gadget gave me a couple of clearance/marker LEDs from his collection, and I have since mounted some 10W Aux lights on their own independent switch.


(http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag42/dieselst1300/20160206_184002_zpsalerrqqp.jpg)


I already had the LED spotties mounted and in action....


(http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag42/dieselst1300/20160206_183947_zps6emyfsxm.jpg)

(http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag42/dieselst1300/20160209_100039_zpsoavvlwtp.jpg)


so they will be going in just in time for this weekend's FarRide and social gathering at Nambucca Heads.      :thumb

That reminds me to order a spare set of the Osram Night Breakers before one of my current ones fail.

I'm quite happy with HIDs as more than enough light down the road for 100/110 speeds plus the spread of the Eurobeam ones I have gives ample coverage on the sides of the road. So No LEDs for me yet.

Hmmm... getting good at this tupperware removal crap. Started the install at 6.00pm - was washing my hands after finishing at 8.00pm after removing both sides of the plastic.      :rockon   Happy with that!


Impressions are as follows:


1. JEEPERS they are BRIGHT!
2. See #1.
3. I am concerned the line of low beam demarcation isn't well enough defined and may get some oncoming drivers flashing me at night - will wait and see....
4. See #1.
5. It is funny to turn on the ignition and hear fans turn on that cool the LED.
6. It is nice to know how few amps I am drawing from the STs usually pathetic battery now - considering the bang I get from my amperage buck.
7. When I flick to high beam, I cannot notice too much difference on the road. The trees light up, but the road light is only marginally more intense. I think it has to do with the low beam LED staying on when high beam is selected.
8. I have used up 1.73654 mins of the LEDs 50,000 hour life span. Should I start to conserve?


Here are some pics.....

Anyways - very happy with the result - I took a lot of time making sure they seated properly in the H4 coupling after snipping the tabs off.


I'd also like to acknowledge our mate Saaz here who originally sparked my interest in these LEDs - in fact he told me to have a closer look at the sames ones installed in his Triumph, and as I lent in close to look at it - the rotten bugger turned them on full!     :crackup
This was at Gadget's house - I couldn't see for properly for 10 minutes!


I was hooked!


Thanks for reading.

I strapped them to a minor fairing spar which sits behind the speaker box behind the dash board. Saaz velcroed his out of the way - they are small enough to be easily tucked or strapped in many places.


Just make sure you get full movement of your forks and steering head once mounted.     ;-*

These DRLs or Aux lights should be referred to as "CONSPICUITY LIGHTS" around  :cop  as calling them fog lights, aux lights, DRLs puts them into a different bracket of lighting in terms of legislation of use.


E.g. - Calling them fog lights means you can get fined for using them when it is not foggy - likewise driving spotlights cannot be used in urban areas - BUT.................
CONSPICUITY LIGHTS on motorcycles are allowed to be left on all the time in all manner of environments and driving conditions.     ;-*

Never heard of this one though. The fog light law has been around for just about forever. The DRLs being required to be off when Headlights are on is an ADR requirement for cars but says nothing about bikes though the definition of a vehicle includes bikes.

I sent an email to the SA vehicle standards department to see what they say. In SA we can fit up to four extra lights but they must only work on high beam. I used your photo to show where they are located and that they are used as Conspicuity lights to assist in making a bike more visible.

Reply from our Vehicle Standards; This is in SA so other states would be the same under ADRs

Alan,

Regarding the LED you have mounted on the front forks of your bike the following is advised.

Under the Road Traffic Act(ADRs) and the Australian Design Rules those light fall into the category of driving lights and they must be wired so they can only operate when high beam is selected. 

There is no category of Conspicuity Lights in the relevant ADR for your bike and previously these light where hard wired headlamps which your bike would have, so they would come under the requirements for a driving lamp.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Reply from our SA vehicle standards.

Hi Alan,

That is correct ADR 19/01 calls up conspicuity lamps and applies to vehicles that were built between 3/1992 and 1/1997 where it was replaced by ADR19/02, although the date published for ADR 19/01 is incorrect it should be 3/92 not 1/97.

So if the bike was built between these dates and Conspicuity Lamps are fitted  they must,

·         Be certified to ADR 45/00 and have verification to show this.

·         Have a output of between 600 and 1200cd

·         Be hard wired so they automatically switch on when the bike is running.

 

Bikes built after 1/1997 have to comply with ADR19/02 which do not specify Conspicuity Lights so the  lights would then be classified as Driving Lights and different requirements apply, as per the previous e-mail.

As the bike in the photo is  built after 1997 and complies with ADR19/02 not ADR 19/01 I did not previous mention the requirements for Conspicuity Lamps as they were not applicable to this bike.

If you are talking bikes generally and including pre 1997 bikes then there is a requirement for vehicle built to ADR 19/01 to have Conspicuity Lamps as it is a mandatory requirement, not a optional one, although generally the headlamps were used by manufacturers to meet this requirement.

 

If you have any other questions please let me know.

I just heard this......


(don't know how true it is though - so pls check) alans1100!      :rockon

These DRLs or Aux lights should be referred to as "CONSPICUITY LIGHTS" around  :cop  as calling them fog lights, aux lights, DRLs puts them into a different bracket of lighting in terms of legislation of use.


E.g. - Calling them fog lights means you can get fined for using them when it is not foggy - likewise driving spotlights cannot be used in urban areas - BUT.................
CONSPICUITY LIGHTS on motorcycles are allowed to be left on all the time in all manner of environments and driving conditions.     ;-*


This needs confirming - but sounds neato!     :rockon


Those little lights if they are under 25watts are legal  :like :thumb NOT ILLEGAL for daylight or night so NO :cop :law

got a price on these at $409  :eek  a pair  :o

At that price I would expect a perfect low beam cutoff line and a very long life.



 :blu13 Hello Gadget, do you still have those little parking light led's or all gone?? interested if you're selling, as mine are both BLOWN..  :grin :thumbsup  :blu13left

I had a couple of blue ones in with some H/Lights bulbs I'd bought so last time I had the tupperware off I changed them over from clear. I'd have prefered red but anyhoo.
Just be careful (I know you would be ) as the bulbs tend to fall into the H/light void so you'll need one of those extendable magnet things or a wire coat hanger and a lil bit of masking tape reversed onto the wire.
Cheers Brian

I purchased two sets of position lights:

for the bike http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251717046455 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251717046455)  $1.86 each, but I had to replace the resistors (8x surface mount on each, changed to 330R) as they run to hot

for wife's car (i30, you have to remove the whole headlight assy   :cuss  ) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141771451468 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141771451468)  $3.58 for 10 shipped from NSW

I have just fitted mine 23 Mar16 , after they were sitting in the garage for quite a while.
I also had purchased earlier the H4 adaptors.  So fitted them both at the same time.
Was fairly straight forward, I am happy with the lights so far but have not actually had a chance to check them out on an open road without interference from other light sources.

I do need to lower them though as the low beam is too high.  I also don't think the low beam cut off is as clearly defined as standard H4's.  On my ex police bike the headlight adjustment is a bit hard to get to and I have not tried to readjust them as yet.
