Adaptive lights. Czech company - and their existing non-adaptives are excellent.

Price as yet tba

Please Chris - Tell me more!
Considering springing for headlights for YurMama.
Name, Brand, Model, web site???

OK now I see they are not headlights, rather accessory lights.
Have you measured the lux at 1 meter? 😁

I am on their mailing list for updates.

Their plain headlamps https://www.lskelectronics.com/store...XH1-p287275071

They are listing them for now as addons - the certification is easier and fast.

But because a mass of folk want adaptive but don't have a PAR45/56 etc headlight option ( most modern bikes do not!. This particular fact is going to bite Speaker eventually) they are working an getting them ECE R113 approval for single track vehicles - ECE is United Nations not EU.

Chris,
I just got round to researching this post some. At about $172 USD I'm interested in the performance of these.
Regarding the low beam, they post 5 lux at about 70 meters. If true, that would produce adequate perception (2.5 sec) at over 60 mph.
Ideal would be to use two of them to enhance the JWS A2 with each set to illuminate forward and outward toward each of the shoulders.

Steve - as soon as I know more - you will. There is a Czech company that uses the originals in their "Dakar" conversions for bikes (mainly KTM). They are renowned as outstanding on unlit roads. I think COVID delayed the adaptives - should have been out in summer.

Had a reply from Jakub at LSK. Initially they will only do them as AUX LIGHTS. Fully ECE approved. About 3" long.
They are snowed under with other stuff at the moment so R&D is on a back burner.

Based on a number of tests I did with positioning with the JWS fogs - The best place I found was either side of the Main Headlights and at the same level. If you point them out much more than a degree they seem to become way less effective. I don't like lights either side of the engine - too much light is wasted. Putting them on the lower part of the forks is going to upset the unsprung weight - and will affect steering.

You need to make SUBSTANTIAL brackets or they'll waggle about like a gogo dancer. Warp9.9 knows how simple it is to break the OEM Triumph fog brackets - I never did, but they sure waggled.


Old grotty photo - sorry.

The lines are 3M "Black Diamond" tape. Even the police have commented on how reflective it is.

Thanx for this info . . .
I just couldn't abide having four in line horizontal lights across the front - too wide.
If mounted on the main body of the forks, me thinks not unsprung weight.
I do agree that 1°-2° outboard would likely be sufficient for the horizontal aim as well as below level for the vertical.

The retro tape is super, "if" not used excessively where it can wash out other details and actually inhibit recognition and identification.
Great exchange , Amigo . . .

Exactly!

They wont send you a fine! - there are lots of pluses.

True - but watch mudguard clearance at full suspension compression.
