Now the batteries have been put in that regard and Xenon modules have appeared in the market to install them in replacement of the H-4 and H-7 conventional halogen lamps.

These modules are very simple to install Xenon lamps are inserted into the original footballs of the headlights without modifying anything. They are destined to produce the crossing only (since it is also the one that is most used).

In the H-4 modules the crossing beam is achieved with the Xenon lamp and the lengths are achieved with a complementary halogen bulb that is located next to Xenon's.

In the H-7 modules, it is even simpler, since the lengths are achieved with another H-3 or H-3 lamp and in another parable of the same lighthouse. And best of all, Xenon's light does not go out as I have already told you.

These modules have a value around € 130 the H-7 and € 160 couple those of H-4 for the topic they carry a double halogen xenon lamp.

Xenon modules consume only 35W of current and provide a higher light to carry 150W halogenos. You see more in short with Xenon than in long halogen.

If you also have the great luck of wearing short H-7 + H-7 long on the motorcycle, you can bridge the lights so that when you turn on the lengths, do not go out of short, because total are 70W instead of 110W and you have a light comparable to 300W.

I have written to you 3 post because one did not leave me, how long it was !!!

All the best.

JODERRRR !!!, with the data you have given me I have to do the doctorate in lighting and luminescence. I would have already wanted that during the career more than one teacher would have explained to me. Total, that if I have not understood badly, in my case with the CBR-600F I better stay as I am or I put the high performance those that you have told me, right?, I understand that if I try to make an egendro and bridge the lights the only thing that will achieve will be to have an exaggeratedly elevated consumption with an increase in the lighting not so large.

Regarding Xenon's lights, somewhat high but that can be paid, you tell me that they are going to 12V. I understood that the motorcycle batteries gave only 6v, correct me if it confuses me. How would I be right? Why don't they also carry Xenon's long light? The truth is that I have lost a little when you have spoken to me in the last post of the H-4 and H-7 modules. What do you mean with the modules? Would you know what kind of lamp I carry the CBR-600F?

Last and without trying to monopolize your knowledge too much, would you know some escape tubes? And of GPS/Radares detectors for the motorcycle?

Deco greetings and thank you very much.

Correct, the first idea you have understood perfectly. A lot of consumption, not as much light as one would expect.

On motorcycles there are three differences with respect to the cars that do not light both lights at the same time despite carrying double optics:

1st on a motorcycle there is no morro, you look out of the dome and you see the paste mosquitoes of the front fender, there is more vision angle than in a car, with which the shorts are longer and cover more land than in a car that is very high (they are very high (they are very high (they are in a car. They dazzle)

2nd at the speed that a night motorcycle moves in lengths, (it is understood that in a straight line) the light of light and the pilot's vision are located quite far, but nevertheless, there is no material time for anything between the illuminated area and the motorcycle to cross and the motorcycle before it passes over.

3º Due to the low power of the magnetic steering wheel and the reducid capacity of the battery (which by the way is 12V) tends to save in consumption so as not to run the risk of burning the regulator of the magnetic steering wheel or of running out of battery because it comes out more common than it enters. (We also have that the manufacturer calculates 55W consumption per lamp instead of 35W Xenon)

The 6V batteries are anti -diluvian, right now 12V systems are mounted on all motorcycles, (including 50cc bumblebees.) The reason is to save costs since much of the parts of the electrical system are from the automobile sector, eg, lamps, relays, fuses ... are the same as those of cars.

I am not very much on the motorcycle theme, but San Google came to see me and I started looking for photos of the front shield of your motorcycle to see the headlights you carry.

Apparently you carry a separate double optic with the point of position light in the center. I have been able to see that at least the right lamp is of type H-7 (you are going to be lucky) and I intuit that the left lamp will also be the same (in that case you would have a kind of ostia if you decide to put xenon hahaha).

It is not a good idea to bridge the two lamps to turn on at the time in lengths except that Xenon lamps), in that case the consumption is sustainable by the system.

The issue that Xenon does not mount in long reach is for the price of the system, let's not forget that we are talking about a system that is designed for cars that in principle carry 4 lamps in the headlights.

If you have accounts, they do not carry double xenon anything more than Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen Audi and Citroën (to throw the stick in the C4 and C5 hahahaha)

we talk about a system that is worth a lot of pasta in a beam of lights (the long one) that is not used both in cars and to be profitable.

Peeeero, as one motorcycle only carries 1 or 2 lamps it turns out that if it is worth it because in that case the \ "kit \" is 2 lamps and 2 modules with which 1 for the lighthouse of short and another for the lighthouse of long. (Eye, assuming that the two motorcycle bulbs are the same)
