Vision X Solstice Solo Lights

Dan Bailey — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 16:43:29 +0000

The all new Solstice Series of LED lamps is equipped with Vision’s brand new 10 watt LED technology, with each 10 watt Solo producing 900 lumen making them the brightest LED lamp on the market in only a 2” x 2” square housing. Not only are they the brightest, they are the most efficient with the light drawing only 0.75 amps due to their advanced electronic drivers which are also responsible for their 50,000 hour life span.

The Vision X LED’s are housed in a rugged die-cast aluminium housing for optimum durability and heat dissipation. The housings are IP68 rated so that they’re impenetrable to dust and submersible under water up to 3 meters. The unbreakable poly carbonate lenses are housed by a 6061 aluminium face plate which doubles as a radiant heat sink to melt away snow and ice in frigid conditions. The s1103 LED’s have been subjected to a 14Grms vibration test to ensure their performance in high impact conditions.

Key Features

Small design perfect for Motorcycles (2 inches square).
10 Watt 900 Lumen LED Technology (similar in colour to HID / Xenon).
Easy to fit design with adjustable angle.
Highest Light Output Per Cubic Inch on the Market.

Philips X-treme Vision 100%

Dan Bailey — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 16:40:34 +0000

The lamps, which are fully road legal and suitable for use in plastic lenses, are great for those that spend considerable time driving at night, especially in country areas. They are good for motorcycles with single front lamps, as the overall light increase gives similar illumination to a pair or ordinary headlights. The brighter, whiter light output also makes your vehicle more visible to pedestrians and other road users.

The performance gain is achieved through a new unique filament design, optimized geometry, a quartz burner and high pressure gas filling to deliver maximum light output and longer life expectancy. The end result is safer night time driving with greater visible distance.

These bulbs are the very best on the market in our opinion, even surpassing the legendary Osram Nightbreaker Plus.

Key Features

Direct replacement for Motorcycle headlight bulbs.
UV Cut to protect plastic lenses.
Up to 100% the light output of stock Motorcycle bulbs.
Superb night vision.
DOT Approved and legal for use with all headlight units.
1 year warranty.
H4 rated 55 / 60 Watt, H7 rated 55 Watt.

Options

Philips X-treme Vision 100% are available in H4 (low and high beam single bulb) and the popular H7 single filament and priced per single bulb.

SMiDSY FOGmate

Dan Bailey — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 12:16:19 +0000

How is it operated ?

Without any intervention, your Brake Light functions normally. If it is foggy, or you simply would like extra visibility for the rear of your bike, start your bike’s engine and if not already on*, turn on the lights. Now operate your brakes 4 times within 15 seconds. Your Brake Light will flash 3 times in acknowledgement, and the Brake Light will then illuminate at 33% power until power down.

Is my brake light contrast diminished ?

No, if using the Fog Light option, when you apply your brakes, the unit powers off the 33% output for 100 milliseconds before applying full power to your Brake Light, always ensuring maximum contrast. This is actually more noticeable to a following vehicle as the brief “off” flash is very attention getting.

Can it be used with LED brake / tail light clusters ?

Yes & No. If your bike has a 3 wire Brake/Tail light system then the answer is YES, but if it is a 2 wire system (Most modern BMWs), then sorry, the answer is NO. If in doubt, contact us with your bike model/year and we’ll do our best to help.

Is it easy to install ?

Yes, only 4 wires. The unit comes with all necessary wiring and installation hardware.

Key Features

Unique miniature design especially for Motorcycles (28mm * 40mm * 18mm).
Weather proof.
Microprocessor controlled for reliability.

BikeVis HID Xenon Conversions

Dan Bailey — Mon, 12 Sep 2016 11:33:22 +0000

Giving over 300% more light than your stock filament bulb, the difference is striking and the mind blowing performance in either day or night is jaw dropping, so much so we here at BikeVis run them on all our bikes and would not ride without them.

HID / Xenon kits are a replacement bulb and control box (called a ballast) for your main headlight and started quite recently in the high end car market. These bulbs produce light with an electric arc rather than a glowing filament.

Buying a HID / Xenon upgrade for your Motorcycle has always been a headache, with so many types and makes, all of varying quality. We have sourced the very best digital slim line ballasts and paired them with class leading quality bulbs to take all the hard work out of the job.

Many retailers use cheap analogue ballasts and give an array of different colour light options that are far from ideal. We provide a single colour, the best in our opinion, providing the optimum light performance in day and night, while getting your bike noticed. Cheap kits also suffer from poor life, bad focusing, low brightness and the ballasts are to big to fit on your bike.

Key Features

Slim line E4 certified digital ballasts for optimum performance.
Ultra bright 6000k light output (with a subtle hint of blue for extra night vision).
Easy to fit design.
Weatherproof aluminium ballast.
Only 35 Watts consumption yet 300% the light, so less strain on electrics.
Easy to follow instructions.
Plug and play fitting (no wiring skills needed on 95% of motorcycles).
High quality bulb allows fitting even to old reflector headlights.
Adhesive sticky pad for easy mounting of ballast.
CANBUS Compatible.
Bulbs have UV cut to prevent damage to plastic lenses.
Perfect focusing.
Extremely long life. (10 times that of a normal bulb).
1 Year Warranty.

Advice

It is recommended you only upgrade your low beam bulb as there is a small switch on delay as the ‘arc’ starts up. We do however supply a kit to cater for those with a single dual (low / high) H4 bulb.

Options & Notes

We can supply bulbs in H1, H3, H7, H9, H11, HB3, HB4, HB5 and BiXenon H4.

We do not recommend dual HID light set-ups due to switch on surges.

Important: Due to differences in the ways motorcycle manufacturers fix bulbs into headlamp assemblies a little mechanical work may be needed for a perfect fit, it’s very rare however.

HID conversions are currently NOT road legal in the UK.

About HID

What is HID Xenon?

High Intensity Discharge (HID) Xenon headlights are the new generation headlights that are fitted to most luxury cars and most new cars can have them fitted as an (expensive) option. They produce 300% more light than standard halogens and yet use less power. The HID Xenon (not Zenon) lighting technology is significantly different to the conventional halogen bulbs that use a heated tungsten filament. Unlike Halogen lamps, HID lamps don’t have a filament but create light as a result of an arc between two electrodes. The heat from the arc vaporises the metal halide which produces light as the temperature and pressure increases. The light produced by an HID Xenon lighting system is greater than a standard halogen bulb and with less power consumption. On the road, HID Xenon lighting systems appear as a bright white beam which resembles natural daylight. The bright white beam offers greater visibility and road safety.

In an HID Xenon lighting system, the voltage between the two electrodes rises firstly from 12V to 23000V and keeps stable at 85V by using the Xenon HID ballasts system.

What are the advantages of Xenon Light?

Three times brighter
The clear white light produced by the Xenon bulb is similar to daylight. Research has shown that this enables drivers to concentrate better. Furthermore, this particular light colour reflects the road markings and signs better than conventional lighting once you have driven with HID Xenon you will never want to go back to Halogen.

Extremely long life
The xenon bulb will last up to 10 times longer than a standard halogen bulb and even longer compared to the new whiter halogen bulbs. An average life is 2000 hours.

What is the difference between HID Xenon Conversion Kits and HID Xenon bulbs?

A HID kit will convert your halogen bulbs into real HID Xenon lighting. To do this you need power boxes (ballasts) to convert from 12 volt to 85-23000 volts. Many people sell upgraded halogen headlight bulbs as HID Xenon, but these are simply halogen bulbs that have a tiny bit of Xenon gas inside them. The light output of such bulbs is normally less than a good quality standard halogen bulb.

Can HID be retrofitted to non-projector style headlights?

Yes they can. The beam patterns created with our quality HID kits are identical to the halogen bulbs. Some poor quality kits have poor beam patterns and can cause a lot of glare. Our H4 BixXnon bulbs are also the best available and produce the a great beam patterns with no glare

Rigid Industries Duallys

Dan Bailey — Sun, 11 Sep 2016 14:39:27 +0000

With this kind of output you will wonder how you ever got by on twisty roads at night with a normal filament headlight (or even a HID Xenon)

As light bulbs age, their colour consistency and brightness diminishes. New replacement bulbs will look noticeably different compared to the remaining bulbs. Customized LED binning ensures only the highest consistency of LED colour and brightness for manufacturing of your Rigid LED products. Rigid LED Lights are turned on quickly and efficiently with little battery draw. HID and Xenon technologies quickly drain huge amounts current at start up in order to power the bulbs.

WARNING: These lights are so bright we would urge any owner to please be courteous when other traffic is around and switch them off!. For constant use everyday lights checkout our Cree Aux Lights
