[QUOTE="b'knighted, post: 47444, member: 59"] I have bought H4 LED headlamp bulbs. I am confident that the main beam will provide adequate light to see where you're going but it is unfocused as the reflector and lens are designed to aim the light from a single source. I think it should adequately dazzle any oncoming traffic. The dip function comes from a single forward facing lensed LED which is not reflected at all and wouldn't provide adequate light in my neighbourhood. There are no street lights within about fifteen miles of my home. Dip may pick up cats eyes but I wouldn't aim to go out in the dark using these lights. I do not believe that dip or main would pass an MoT but I use them for daylight riding on our MoT exempt bikes. On a bike with an original Miller dynamo running 12v negative earth through a Vreg2 there is plenty of battery left to work the horn. I have one pre-war bike without a charging system fitted with one of these. It will run on main beam with a multiple led rear/brake lamp for about nine hours from a Li-Po 3000 mAh battery about the size of a cigarette packet. This is more than I ever need between recharges.
